More followers than takers but managed a few today. Last pic is of a little guy whose eyes were bigger than his stomach.:yikes By the way, changing those trebles to a single make it easy-peasy releasing fish. Snapped a pic of this painted turtle soaking up some sun on a great day to be outdoors.Attachment 396601Attachment 396602Attachment 396603Attachment 396604Attachment 396605
Nice catch.
Regards
Nice going, they are still doing a good job of hiding from me.
Nice fish and a good trip.
What size and brand replacement hooks are you using for the mini cranks?
a paint ! nice ...congrats on the fisheez
Ah, MR, another inspiring day! Nice catch and the turtle was a bonus. Last summer I constantly surprised one at the same time in the morning and he was sunning 10 feet up or so on a shallow pitched gravel bank. Man, did he scoot every time! Single hooks do make the job better.

The Gamakatsu are open eye siwash for spinners and spoons that you can use without a split ring on cranks, but I feel the hook swings better using split rings, so you have to use 2 rings if using on cranks. The mini cranks in picture had the Gamakatsu 10's on since I was placing a small spinner blade on the top split ring above the hook split ring. The hook would get stuck on lip of crankbait sometimes on cast due to small size of crank. Most all the other crankbaits I switched over I used the C'ultiva 6's. Here's some pics to give you a good look. Hope this helps. C'ultivas from Finesse-Fishing.com and Gamakatsu from FishUSA. Both great companies to deal with!Attachment 396671Attachment 396672
Good catch, Gills are showing up here as well.
Thanks moonrunner
Nice bro you had a better day than me gills would not hit my fly was incredible to watch em swim off skittish
Nice! I love those little micro-crankbaits.
Strange though that when the front approached last weekend, fish bit, but Mon. and Tues. only one hit. Even saw fish swimming slowly near the surface at times.
Can't wait until stable spring weather arrives for the fish and the prespawn. (Cold and/or rainy in the next few days.)
