Pretty fish!

Glad they're back. I'm fishless in 2021. By this time last year, I had pulled in more than 100!

Also check out the Shimano Soare jig heads. I've caught plenty of gills, crappie and even a few bass with the little jigs. You can get them on eBay. I also like the Diawa Gekkabijin jigs but...

In December I ordered 4 small parts from Japan Tackle. Shipping via DHL was about $27. The items arrived in about a week!

Beauties! Good start to the new year.

That's a good run of winter fishing. Congrats!

Great pic! No fish for me in 21 yet. :(

Absolutely stunning! I know you'll enjoy using that rod.

Sounds like a good outing! Thanks for the pix.

Perfect! Happy New Year.

Beautiful spot. Catching fish is just a plus!

Sounds like a good day! Thanks for the report and the pics.

Wow. Almost ice fishing time!

Thanks for the report. I've been using 3# Fireline Crystal on one of my UL set ups for about 9 months. I've been happy with it but always up for trying something different. My biggest complaint with...

Persistance paid off! Enjoy your time off.

I have family in the area. They got over 10 inches. Pretty good storm and I see some snow in the forecast. Looks to be a White Christmas.

Started out with 4# Fireline Crystal braid. At present I'm using Diawa J Braid, 4x, 6 pound test. I only spool on about 100-120 feet of line. Where I fish, there's no need for more and less line...

Color me hungry!

Yep. I took an Abu Garcia Black Max, upgraded the bearings, and added a shallow spool. It will cast 1/32 oz jigs no problem. I have it on a cheap AliExpess Acehawk CU Double rod. The entire set up...

Cold again this afternoon but NO wind! YAY. Fish were biting a little better too. Got the trifecta, bluegill, crappie and bass. Caught 11 in total in about 45 minutes and two got off!!

Nice catches. Small stuff on a float has been the most productive method around here in recent days. The bobber would go under very slowly and I would have to let them take it for a bit before...

Froze my butt off this afternoon, with low 40 degree temps and wind. But managed to eek out a few gills and a couple crappie.

If you get citations with enough species, you can get a Master Angler award.

I can't imagine 3 pounder! I doubt I'll ever see one of those in these parts. Good luck.

That's usually the kind of citations I get!

I only had a few minutes to fish, so back he went. Maybe he'll get bigger!

Yes it was. The one pulled some drag! Thought it was a bass at first.

The monster bent my rod today. Thought I had a bass on at first. This is a citation fish in Virginia and probably the biggest crappie I've ever caught! Lots of fun.

Edit: Meant...

You can find 300 pretty easily on eBay. If you are willing to disassemble, clean and lube, you won't need to pay much. Be sure to get one that is complete and working. Otherwise, you'll be looking...
