Broke out the long pole yesterday ...

... and had a fun day. I got about 75 fish in total, including 4 crappie, 4 rainbow trout, and 3 yellow bass. The rest were all gills. All fish came on maggots fished under a light float.

None of the fish were big, but it was fun to be outside watching the float go down.

At a boy disco! I like to hear those kind of reports. I'll be on Lake Talquin tomorrow morning and I have a little shore lunch fish fry lined up with my buddies around noon.

This is a Yellow Bass :




Looks alot like a White Bass or Hybrid Striper, but is a totally seperate species. Shape is more like a White Bass - broken stripes like a Hybrid Striper ... but, sides and lower body is yellow in color, not white like the WB or HS. Don't get very big, normally.
