Nice redfish bro...I went Redfishing one time in Manteo and it was one of the best times in my life. Are you using fresh shrimp?

Not much fishing here in NYC today - unless you're looking for dead dolphin in the Gowanus

Here's my best fish from 2012... just over 50 pounds.

i wish i had time to fish
I need to make time this year, my son is chomping at the bit to try some fishing.

Pulled in this beauty 30 miles off Ipswich Bay with my boys. .com sucks!

I love this thread...

Got to give props to the the old man who taught me how to fish. At 65 he's still a successful tournament bass anger in our region. I partner 5-6 tourneys with him every year. Below he has a 6+ largemouth from the Chippewa Flowage in Northern Wisconsin. Also, here is one of the many lemon sharks we catch off the gulf side of Ft. Meyers Beach in March. We catch a lot bigger ones but this guy was small enough to hoist in the boat and get a pic....





@fuck_your_face, I usually hit the west-central streams for trout in the spring. Rush River etc. and always looking for someone meet on the water. Let me know when your thinking of heading that direction.

Well, I was going to post some photos, but the Embed Image feature does not seem to work for me. I uploaded some photos to Flickr, clicked on the Image button, pasted the link for the photo in the http field, but I got nothing. It just displays the red x Image icon instead of a photo. Can someone enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong?

My 5 year old son, Dominic, caught this catfish a week ago.

use copy image url from flickr. if that doesn't work, make sure the http:// isn't repeated (.net adds one for you too)

Nice catches everybody! I have no pictures at the moment, but I live close enough to the Maumee River in NW Ohio to hit the massive walleye run that happens there every spring. I caught a huge spawning female last year, definitely a state certification fish, but I let her go. The spawners don't taste good. At all. I grew up boat fishing, but wading for walleyes is insanely addictive, despite the massive crowds.

I'll try to remember this thread and post some photos March-April when the Maumee is in full swing.

@MrJones what rod and flyline weight are you using on that lake for pike? Are you having more luck with poppers or streamers? I live on the Chippewa River in Wisco which is a champion muskie fishery. Hope to get one on a fly rig for the first time this summer.

That particular rig is a 7 weight with a WF camo sink tip line. I have gotten into more pike since all on the same rig, some pretty nice fish. All streamers with that rig. Personally I only fish poppers for bass with a floating line. I know a few folks who enjoy going after Pike and I don't know that any of them throw poppers.

Good luck on the hunt for a Muskie, I hear that's a tricky fish to fool...I hope to get a chance some time.

I missed the days when I lived on Lake Geneva and would get up, realize I had no job, got into a boat, and went fishing until I felt like stopping.

Now I have a job.

::rethinks current situation::

@Angler here is your photo. I don't know much about flickr so I can't help there, but next time try this

I'm newish to trout fishing, do you know any good spots around our northwestern Wisconsin parts? this fall a few friends and I hopped streams and had decent luck, I believe we were on the Rush River, the Apple River and Chippewa. last Spring we made a killing on Perch here in Menomonie near the dam.

Cool! Thanks! I tried copying the URL from Flickr and pasting it into the Embed Image feature of .net, but that didn't work. I then tried capturing the source code from Flickr and pasting it into the message, which worked in the preview (showed the image), but then only displayed the code when I actually posted it. I'll try Tinypic next time.

@Purple_Humpback_Whale so were you on Lake Menomin when you were ice fishing? I drive by there quite a bit from EC and am noticing more and more ice shacks out there.

I am on the Rush quite a bit for trout in the Spring. It's my favorite stream in Wisco followed by the Bois Brule way up by Superior.

I PM'd you some more details on good trout fishing near by.

yea thank you! I am on the Menomin for Ice fishing, we do a little bit on Tainter Lake too, but there's no public boat launch so its kind of a hidden jem.

lol tiny trout
And some Ice fishing
