Anyone been doing any fishing lately? Wanting to get out and go fishing just don't know where I want to go. I have been fishing cataract last two weekends and the bite there is pretty good right now just wanting to try somewhere else so where's the next hot bite?
fishing ? what's that??
Exactly..... There's always a lot of views and ppl staying in the shadows. I just want to hear how ppl are doing on the lakes and reservoirs. Not asking for anyone's fishing spots.Quote:

I ended up keeping 8 healthy black crappie around 12 inch each.
I havent been crappie fishing since late May. I take a break from them over the summer and fish the river around here for smallies, eyes and cats. I'll start up again for crappie in another month or so and then fish some over the winter in between deer hunting trips unless it ices over.
its quiet all over for the most part.
i havent chased crappie for a while, been on the trout hunt. i have caught a few monster gills and a cat out hangin with them. probably wont go back to crappie till sept.

Caught a bunch of redears/bluegills, tons of rock bass and even a Pike! The bluegill were HUGE. The one bluegill in the center is the largest gill I've ever seen in my life. The picture doesnt really do it justice.

There we go. I knew there were some ppl still fishing......sounds like a lot of ppl give up on the old crappie during summer months. Plus with the heat it does make your time limited. Still not sure where i want to fish this weekend.... Thought about trying mississenewa heard it has been pretty tough there lately. Anyone ever
fish lake lemon? I have never been there thought about maybe giving it a whirl. Anyways wherever I decide to fish I will report back and let you know how it went.
Water temps are 87 to 90 for the most part. I have mostly been looking for bass and did pull some cranks for crappie but it is very slow. I have only been out after a front passes through so that helps me but not the fishing.
I may go somewhere in the morning but with the forecast I may just stay home.
So did you get out? I know it rained a lot your way but it didn't rain up here. I did some wading in the Tippy and caugth some samillies.Quote:

just because people arent posting, doesn't mean they aren't out catching.
Scum you need to start a guide service... I don't think you ever go out and not catch any! WTG
oh how i wish that was true brother. lol i get my bass smacked down plenty. nobody wants to hear how you almost fell asleep, while your minnows died, on hook. lol you can always find them, but cant always make them bite. and no on the guide service. can you imagine the stress of trying to teach people, to not set the hook on cover:mad: . i dont even want to think about that. some days i cant keep myself unhooked for cripes sake.
Got awful quiet again! I've been out twice, but only have some eater gills and a couple of silver bass to show for it. I've got some trips coming up in September. Probably Winona and Mississinewa.
Been smacking the walleye at night, no real crappie stories to tell
This time of year I just bass fish..early morning and in the evenings.
What are you doing to catch the walleye at night Locator?Quote:

Went out to cataract today. i fished from sun up until noon. Between me and my buddy i bet we caught around a hundred or so. I ran into a few "older" couple on the water that i could tell were struggling so right as i wasQuote:

Anyways here's a pic enjoy!Attachment 247426
very nice
great deal
good sized whites, congrats.:ThumbsUp how about some play by play on how it was done. it mite inspire someone to try it where they fish.
Really pretty cut and dry. I was spider rigging a double minnow rig. The key to it all though was speed. I was just creeping along just fast enough to say I was moving. Keeping my bait in strike zone for as long as I could without stopping.Quote:

nice box o fish there bother!
went out 2 nights ago and pulled a limit. had to sorrt threw about 100 though. lol caught them on minnows under floats and a jig rod. 20fow with the light down 2ft. fish came threw at 12-15ft mostly. after about 2 hours they started to molest the baitball under me. thats when most of the jig fish were caught. i dont know, if it just took that long to attract them, or the fish were turned on by environment. the moon was pretty full and bright that night.
That's awesome that you were kind enough to put them on fish...most folks wouldn't do that, unfortunately. Great job!
