Reckon I’m getting old. I just can’t make myself get far from home. I got a late start as usual and fished 8 mile today. I probably caught close to 50 fish. But only 3 or 4 keepers. They were in about 16 feet of water and were flat hammering blue chrome. Not much to eat but a fun day of catching.

That sir is a great day of catching. Nothing wrong with staying close and fishing your home ramp. Blue chrome huh...used to fish it and had forgot about it. I need to pick me a pack up.

Them little ones will grow, sounds like a good day, just nothing for the table.
Sounds like a fun catchin day!
That was the only thing they would hit at the gravel pit the other day too. Bought a pack that day and was first time I’d ever used it.Bought another pack yesterday. Caught a few on tuxedo shimmer yesterday but they would just hammer the chrome.Quote:

My knee has been bothering me and was afraid I couldn’t get up the bank so I put in on the other end and paddled up there. Fished some other places all the way back to the truck and caught a few gills.Quote:

I did a while back but they’ve washed out. Never think to bring anything until I’m already there.Quote:

You did better than me, I put in at the bridge, paddled down a ways and caught a few bream and and a catfish. Didn't catch a single crappie, did see a bobcat though.
When did you go?Quote:

A couple of days before Christmas, I paddled down, went through the green stuff, caught a couple and paddled back. I picked up a little Kayak because my Hobie is too heavy to get up and down the obstacle courses before the water and was trying it out.
Cool. Was there any size to the catfish??Ive wondered if there were many in there. Last year at this time I was catching some nice bass but haven’t caught any this time.Quote:

The bass were small, but very colorful for this time of year, the catfish were about a pound each. Based on all the limbline hooks hanging, I believe someone thinks some good sized ones are in there.
Yeah the limb lines are what had me curious. Those have been there since I’ve been fishing it. Thought about baiting a few of them when I put in on that side. But don’t want to mess with anyone’s stuff.Quote:

JMO, but I would go for it. I would say someone leaving limb lines up 24/7/365 isn't a good practice on public water. Not that big of a deal either, but I'd say if you did happen to run across whoever uses them you can just claim that they have been there so long they appeared abandoned.Quote:

Were the hooks still on the lines or did they have clips or loops for taking hooks on and off?Quote:

They have stainless hooks on them. I just cut the hooks off and left the twine.
