Slower than average year for me but definitely had fun. It's more about the experience and fishing with friends than the actual catch. Anyways here is a few, starting with some hard water eyeballs after a certain someone made a bet it would not be possible last ice season


Short ice season which was successful but not picture worthy.
Believe it was March hit big water with chrisper for some laker jigging.

Then had to wait for some warmer weather. Took the bow out and filled the cooler with tasty snakehead fillets

Next headed down to Alabama for national bowfishing tournament. Fished alabama tennesee and kentucky. Poor water conditions plus heavy boat traffic made for tough shooting but we managed to shoot, common carp, grass carp, bighead carp, Silver carp, spotted gar, longnose gar, buffalo, blue cats, channel cats, flathead cats, bullhead, suckers, gizzard shad, bowfin, freshwater drum. Didn't bring any money home but we did well. Next up was bowfishing tournament in maryland. Might have been the toughest conditions I've ever shot In with chocolate water and 30 mph wind. Once again we did well but finished just outide the money. 5th out if 25 teams. Buddy shot nice blue cat plus we managed some gar and small carp.

June hit some local water and managed to put some good night's together including this slob common

To be continued

Next up hosted a few out of state guys from maine, Illinois ans Missouri. We shot a stingray tournament on the Chesapeake. Guys had a blast and finally a trip with good conditions with the same results, finishing just out of the money. Tough shooting against local teams but this was more about showing some good guys a good time which was a success

Next up got the invite to head south to Florida with a friend and do some filming in the keys. Awesome trip bit if you notice a pattern once again horrible conditions. Wind blew the whole time down there making bowfishing tough and even rod and reel action not typical for the keys. Still managed to shoot two works records and check off some bucket list. Shot baracuda, southern stingrays, mangrove snapper.



Had to drop my buddy off in Fort Lauderdale airport so took the day to check off a few more bucket list species off. Walked the canals and shot bullseye snakehead, talpia, mayan chichlid, and pleco catfish.



Then took break more local trips with some newbies. Lots of fun but nothing picture worthy
Did manage to get chrisper on his first delaware river flathead and managed a decent one myself
Last of all was last week's laker trip

Awfully early for this thread to go up, isn't it? We still have over half of December left!

This year was a banner one for bass, both bucketmouth and bronze variety, including my PB Jersey hawg from an extremely public park pond. My brother and I discovered the absolutely STUPID smallmouth fishing on the Susquehanna, where he landed his PB bronzeback. Had a couple of great floats down the Delaware, which included my PB fallfish, and my first ever rainbow trout on the fly.

You know I'm more about videos, but here is some photographic evidence of my fantastic 2016:

No collage, just going to have to stack the pics! Was a great year for sure!

Fresh and salt; salt wasn't great for numbers for us this year (compared to other years) but had some very nice fish including PBs of tog and seabass and plenty of keeper sized fish. A bunch of PBs freshwater too and some first time species catches. 13 PBs total i think and 22 'sa' size larger fish (a few of them panfish but still counts haha)

Started out last january with ice season...JDtuna doesn't catch enough open water fish haha yeah right! so i introduced him to ice fishing for his first ice season and we had a short yet productive hard water season including great trips with Jigman and Getanet! JDtuna and I had plenty of other fishing escapades both in the tin can and on his family's boat, all great memories! Had some adventures with Delewareriver as well including some night ice, laker jigging, and flatheads. some walleye and hybrid trips with captain njsquatch putting us on some nice fish. skunkcity banging one of his biggest eyes in the tin can. Just awesome fishing with everyone including my friends that aren't njf members as well! looking forward to many more!
