Anyone been catching any good 'fins? Heat of the summer is a good time to get them. Lets see some pics and also what set up you had and bait.

Caught a bunch back in april, only pic i have but we caught well over 20 and most were over 5lbs. at the time we were crappie fishing but these guys were just too much fun to not target. they hit on charturese colored crappie tubes. white with charturese tails worked the best.

I'm planning on going on a day-trip either this weekend or next about two hours away from where I am. Oswego River, NY supposedly has a few Bowfin hotspots and I plan on fishing sun-up to sun-down until I catch a big one for the 500g.
Will report back afterwards. Even if I don't nail a bowfin it should be good fishing. Maybe I'll land a longnose gar thats made its way down out of Lake Ontario.

Madding where are you from in Ny I live in Syracuse and use to go bowfin fishing all the time. I did however join the military so I'm gone but I can give you some hot spots where it's all around good fishing and a couple where there are tremendous amounts of fin.
the catfish in my avatar is a 27lb Bluecatfish, close relative of the channel that gets quite larger
