Went out Wednesday to our gravel pit property. Caught and cleaned 12 crappie/bluegill. Tested out the 5 horse for my sons yard art...... I mean duck boat. It was a very good day.

Best fishing of the year began today for me. Each year after ice off and before spawning have 10 days up to a month of great gill fishing sitting in my yard...length of time dependant on weather/water temps. Small ones arrived Sunday & today the nice ones began arriving. 6 of us sitting in 100 feet and all catching on about every cast. Then the wind shifted and intensified out of north X northwest and it ended in minutes. Will start again once weather settles this week end.

So who's been fishing? Lets hear some reports!

I've been doing a lot of kayak fishing, catching small bass but no big bass. Getting disapointing. I was in my kayak a few days ago trying to use a jerk bait and I tossed it near a bank and I noticed three fish near the surface jumped and then I saw them swim together towards the deep and disapear. They were dark shadows and I have no idea what kind of fish they were but they were long and big looking. I'm not so sure they were bass. I know the strip pit I was fishing on has bass, bluegill and crappie. I don't know if they have carp or catfish. Whatever they were, they looked pretty darn big.

Crappies on the beds look like they are winding down on Lake Lemon. Catching a lot more smaller ones.
Bluegills (small ones in Lemon ) are on the beds now and I'm still catching a short fat bass or two, full of eggs.

On a side note, I just received my new Okuma SLV 4pc fly rod and setup today.

Anxious to do some motorcycle run fishing:

 

[SigFan07]

Nice. After you use that fly rod a few times can you post here how you like it? I've been itching to try a fly rod either for panfish or bass. I didn't know Okuma made fly rods.

Just bought a fishing license.. Hope to use it.. Have not fished for almost a year. Soon I hope, would love to float the river. Anyone up for a dale hollow trip?

I fished Celina, Indian and Saddle a few weeks ago. 14 inch bluegill? My buddy got one in the little pond just past the entrance to the Celina Lake campground.

We were tossing back 9" and under. Had several over 10. We practiced Fillet and Release. 13 big Morels surrounded our campsite. Not another one anywhere else.

Surely you took a picture of a 14" bluegill? Everyone has a camera in their pocket all the time now days, right?

13.5" Brook Trout. Also have an old copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and plenty of firewood by the pit!

I caught this in a retention pond in Fishers a couple of weeks ago! I was amazed that catfish even live in a pond this small.

Man, I miss the trout fishing on Jackson Creek in Brown County.

 

[Zoub]

Trout are so big here we just shootem' rather then net them. Another 13.5" and he fought considering I took him on my 4.5' St Croix UL rod. I use that rod a lot as a search rod with 1/32 jigs. Caught this guy while looking for Perch.

slow poke jig and kalins paddle tail of some kind. Paddles don't last long with bluegills tearing them up but non issue, worked on this trout and half dozen perch.

Yesterday was epic fishing day #2 and according to the moon phases it was only supposed to be marginal I caught over 15 bass with the biggest around 5lbs.

 

[HICKMAN]

Been fishing out of a Yak for the last 2 years, this year, I'm trying to save my poor back.

Love those little pond prowlers, and honestly quite comfortable!

Gills should be on the nest anytime ? Has anyone been out and had any luck yet ? Haven't had time to get out this weekend, maybe next weekend I will be able to ?

 

[Papa Tiki]

My daughter can't wait to start pulling in some fish this weekend! Hope we have some good weather for it.

They were on early this month. Hopefully back on early next month. I haven't made it to the better bluegill lake yet.
