Small Fish Report 1/8
Fished Friday evening past dark in a little pond I have been doing well in, fish were active, but small. Caught about 20, biggest was 8" on 1/64 jigs and a few on small bull minnows. They were mixed in with white perch. It was interesting to feel the difference in bites between the crappie and white perch. You could tell what the fish were before you saw them by how the hit the lure and reacted once hooked. Sunday, I had to go up to Carroll County so I stopped and picked up some shiners at Clyde's Sport Shop. By the time I made it up to Liberty to fish it was mid afternoon, walked down to the bank hopping to hit some fallen trees near deep water, friend got a 16" crappie on a trout magnet up there a few days ago. Anyhow, got down to where I wanted to fish and the front comes through blowing and howling right in my face. Couldn't even make a cast. out from the bank. Started raining and figured it was a lost cause with the wind in my face and no way to relocate as I was on foot.

I love Clydes. I wish their were more around like it as well, but it's hard to compete with the box stores and internet. Only place where to buy shiners that I know of. Everywhere on the shore generally sells bull minnows. I wish Tommy's in Cambridge was still around. They always had fresh bait and were on top of what was going on.

They might be small. but still fun to catch. I still call Clyde's fishing report phone number.

Wow they still have that ! I would call that when I was a kid I think it was 247-fish , my parents used to laugh at how often I would call it .

Yes that's the number, I just tried calling, it just rang. I haven't called this number since last year. I like the commercial break in between the report " Here's another Clyde's sport shop special". I wonder how many years they gave those reports.Originally Posted by tear-em-up
