schools open

hit the same spot as yesterday, again today, and where there were three, today there were six. not as big as yesterdays groupers but one was a solid 18". threw the tackle box at them, live chubb, nightcrawlers, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, soft plastics, many more. nothing swayed the brutes. caught one dink on a wacky senko that paled in comparison and wasn't even photo worthy. never like it when I can see the fish!

If you can see the fish, the fish can see you!

He is absolutely rite...You have a better chance if you somehow distance yourselfso that you cant even see them.....90% of my large smallies (4lb and larger) come when i have NO idea the fish are there...and 70% of those fish come on the jig and pig:D :D

[buzzbaiter]

Most of my large smallies have come on long casts to the opposite shore - in most cases in fairly shallow water - <2'. Fish I can see never take anything I throw at them. I tried closing my eyes but it didn't work and I fell in. lol

Hey Andy

Your new Avatar is HOTTER than any fishing report...period!:eek:

Who the hell wants to read a fishing report when they want to see your Avatar instead?:rolleyes:

[FASTEDDIE29]

I spot the fish then hide behind bushes right after I cast. Waters toooooo low so you have to get the camo gear on and make yourself disappear>

Live crayfish

hit my local chubb creek on the way over to get the minnows, while there I must have turned over a hundred rocks, no nippers!

yes, fish see me long before I see them and I would usually spot them then back away and cast but I was on the end of the concrete wall and there was no place to hide.

I stopped into that store on the corner because they had a sign out "LIVE BAIT" I asked what live bait they had and he said 'this' worm, 'that' worm, night crawlers, shiners then pointed to a refrigerator. I asked if the shiners were in the fridge and he said yes, they're salted. so I said I guess that makes em dead bait. :p

Go to any boatramp or rocky shallows at NIGHT with a flashlight and have a crayfish bonanza. Got easily 20+ from boatramps on Monksville and the Passaic in the past month at night.

this is true, unless its sunnies, every time i sight fish i never catch them, only when i am not sure where they are. one time i was trout fishing a clear brook pool and saw at least 6 bows, caught 3 but only when i ducked below the bank they would hit. standing up watching them, they wouldn't go near my bait.

[tycomps]

will try the boat ramp crays next, thanks. i'm an a.m angler, how many on avg per bucket overnight to still be healthy the next morning? add any ice to the water?
