FISHING SEASON 09!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Thread starter cichlid fiend
- Start date
Fished today with my bro. Started in the Buffalo River, Brother(ryan) landed a nice stealhead and I caught my first smallmouth of the season on a fake minnow fly. I also lost 2 stealheads. We fished for 3 hours. Then we went to a local pond where we hammered the lmb. Ryan landed 12 and I landed 7. 2 of mine were caught on minnows the rest on a watermelon tube jig.
I will figure out how to post pic soon

no matter the depth shallow water will still warm up quick. Rattle traps can be tricky to fish at first. I catch most my rattle trap fish when ripping it throuh weeds. To do this you find a nice weedy flat from 3-8 feet deep. Take a short stiff rod spooled with low strech line preferibly braid. Cast to the spot let sink to desired depth and reel slowly at a constant rate. Try not to let it bary itslef in the weeds just skimming the tops. If it hits or catchs up on a weed simpy snap the rod 1-3 times till it pops off. Be ready alot of times after snapping it lose that triggers a strike from near by fish. Rattle traps can also be good baits for suspended fish but this is where alot of depth experimentation comes in unless you have a fish finder. Last fall while King salmon fish it begain to get dark so i tied on a rattle trap. I was fishing from shore at the local river at a current break. And just by blind casting and reeling in a different depths i found a school of suspended walleye and smallmouth. Which i caught a few of each species at the smae depth as the first fish that i found.likestofish;3014180; said:

It was rainning and cold today but i couldnt fight the itch. I only was there for a hour and was able to get one small bass. There is drainage points on this lake. I say that to tell my story of the one that got away today(fish story). So i cast between the two concrete walls that the drainage pipes are connected to. As i let the "lipless" drop down a fish must of inhaled it cause when i flipped the bell my line was walking. I set the hook but it must a been to late cause the lure came flying at me
Very slow day but ha atleast i caught one!!

The date on the wifes camera is messed up. But that is a gar that i caught in florida last year. I will post some more later. I have to scan most of them because she won't let me take the camera fishing she thinks i will drop it in the water.
