Went down to Indian Lake this afternoon. Got about a dozen nice bluegill and 3 catfish. My brother caught this channel cat, just shy of 22 inches.




Caught it on an ultralight bluegill rod with 4 lb test line, would have never got it in boat without a net.

Pretty good day on the water.

Wife is at work. Mom came over to watch the kids while Dad and I hit a farm pond. Caught over a dozen crappie and a couple bluegill between the two of us. Dad lost a fat bass which was may've 10-12" long. Then he hooked this pig. Measured 18". He says around 6lbs. I wont break his heart. It was healthy, but I am not sure about 6lbs. Lol

My daughter caught this catfish yesterday and isn't afraid to pick them up either!

And here she is with another nice bass....

 

[hickslawns]

I just crapped myself! Those are some dandies your daughter caught Gern!

 

[Gern186]

Yeah, Lol. Just another ho hum day for her in the backyard. She catches fish like this all the time.:smiley_coolpeace:

I'd kill to have a pond like that in my yard or at our farm!!!

Its fun. We have been trying to catch the walleyes for about a month now, but they don't seem to want to bite during the day. Might have to try some night fishing.

Man, looks like everyone has been into good fish lately! Gern, your girl is spoiled! lol

Try leeches under a bobber at night.

That is what I was thinking. Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice pond. It is not a 5acre pond though. I am guessing under an acre?

 

[Gern186]

Yeah, under an acre. Pond is about 25 years old and was stocked well from the beginning. I keep it well aerated and that's important too.

 

[finelyshedded]

Awesome pics of your daughters catches Chad! Thems some dang nice fish! I've never hard of someone having wallys stocked in a pond before. Private pond that is. That is awesome!

3 of us made a trip up to Mosquito Lake this morning to do some trolling for walleye.... We ended up with one 17" walleye, a few throw-back walleye, and a half dozen or so nice slab crappies. We could have done much better if we would have gotten started earlier I think. Once the sun got hot, the bite really shut down. It was a great day to be on the water though!

Congrats JB, Mosquito is a lake that gets pounded every year but still produces quality fish.... Had some buddies out there fishing a bass tourney today, haven't heard anything out of them yet.... A co-worker and I hit Shenango yesterday and had a good day with the large mouths with a couple of small mouths in the action..... Lots of boat traffic for a Friday though..... How were the waves and boat traffic????

Yep, there was a bass tourney AND a walley tourney going on at the same time today. Needless to say there were quite a few boats out there.

It definitely looked like the lake has a high concentration of nutrients. That's probably why it can produce so well even though the fishing pressure is so intense.

Talked to a wildlife biologist tonight at a party we were at and he said the same thing...... Lots of nutrients too produce good fish..... Glad you all had a good time.....
