Think I’m done till fall

Been a terrible spring for me. Think I had one decent trip. Went back to 8 mile creek yesterday. For the last few years when I was able to put in the work to fish there I’ve always been able to catch fish. Yesterday one crappie not even 6 inches. Did find a few good gills on bed and a couple big shell cracker. But I’ve decided I’m gonna spend more time with my wife,play music more and maybe do some catfishing until fall. That’s my favorite time to fish anyway. Guess we will see how long this lasts,because I am hard headed. Lol

Don’t give up, I follow your reports

Damion Kidd, I'm busy next weekend, but we'll get together in a couple weeks and get a few! By then you'll be itching to fish!

I enjoy my time on the water even if I don’t catch any. Gives me time to breathe and relax. I do try for at least one though. lol. I do think you shouldn’t stop unless it’s just not enjoyable anymore.

I’m not really giving up. Mainly other things I really need to be doing. I definitely enjoy it. But when I know I’m probably not gonna do any good especially in hot ,summer conditions I can get other things done. Things I’ve been putting off that will really make the wife happy and agree to more fishing time this fall. Lol

Come on now it’s barley spring ! Get back after them up until about June then get after the honey do’s so you can be caught up by fall!

Do what makes you happy. Only get one go around at it anyway

And this is why I started year before last fishing like a kid! Much more enjoyable and no worries about catching a target species.

You aren't the only one who had a bad spring,seems like this year I had nothing but problems but I am still gonna fish and maybe try some new techniques to learn different ways to catch a mess

When i talked to the biologist about the state boats in anderson creek we talked for a while. Nice fellow he said the western end of wheeler has suffered for a few years. They are studying the river, a student form auburn is doing his thesis and hopes to have a recomemdation at some point. He said the reports he is getting no one is doing much. I can remember when the limit was fifty and now its thirty to get elk back where it once was may be diffcult. We will see........

I can agree on a slower-than-usual spring this year. Summer: Scattered crappie for sure, but I don't know which is worse,... 100* heat, endless pleasure boaters, overcrowded boat ramps, and reservoirs, all of the noise and stupidity that a large percentage of them seem to bring with them... not to mention the jet skis and the wake boats that do nothing but go back and forth with music blaring... I certainly cut my trips way down in the summer, for sure.

Peace, tranquility, and the slow pace of fishing are why I enjoy it so much. When those things leave the lake, so do I.
It's all good, everyone should have their time.

Gonna try some night fishing to get away from all that

Another reason I fish from a kayak, no water fleas where I go!!

This is how I feel about Turkey hunting this spring.

It has been a tough spring for sure. I'm nowhere near doing what I was doing at this time last year. This has definitely opened my eyes to other techniques. I'm gonna keep at it, they've gotta eat somehow!
