Any anglers out there?

Looks like I need to add "Fish with Tennessee Dave" to my 2015 fishing calendar!

Grab a heater and get out on the ice you old bums!!! ^^^^

Especially you Joel, you live in the ice fishing capital of the US. I'll be getting out on the ice within a couple days of being home from Europe.

if you have an ice house, I might be able to last an hour with you @jonesry09

A little offshore trip with some buddies last summer. Great day of "catching", but it doesn't always happen like this....

My buddy Franko and myself went out on some small lakes this week. Vexilars were buzzing. I caught a smaller cat and a bunch of perch as well.

I was on the ice all weekend. Ended up catching a nice mess of panfish both days. Fresh fish tacos the past 2 nights and 3 bags in the freezer. Plan to get out again this weekend which might very well be the last with the warm temps...........finally

I almost went to the river yesterday… It was the first 60+ degree day of the year. Now I'll probably have to wait another couple weeks. Thinking about grabbing a fishing license while in town for the Tennessee herf… I can't wait!

Come on, guys. Spring time temps are here. Isn't anybody fishing for something out there?
I'm planning on putting the boat in the water next week.( if the moon, stars, Jupiter and Saturn line up just perfectly)....

I've gotten about 1 hour combined time throwing a senko in a small pond. Couple bites but nothing so far. I'll get some more time this weekend I hope

I'm headed up to the Rainy River on the Mn/Ontario border in 10 days to try and get on some Walleye. Can't fricken wait

I figure this coming Saturday is the last ice-fishing trip of the year. Still had 18" last weekend, but the perimeter is getting soft. Lot's pf keeper-sized bass this year.

Maybe hitting the Mississippi today. If not, perhaps another local river.

I'm heading out this afternoon on the Pamunkey River in VA after some big catfish. I've seen a report on tidalfish.com that mentioned some decent sized croakers were caught last week in West Point on cut frozen Spot. Might have to get over there in the next week or so and give them a try!

Sounds like a plan to me!
The last two years have been tough on the croakers and blue cats here on the Chesapeake and Potomac river. The crab population is dwindling almost to record lows so the commercial fisherman are supplementing w/ croakers and big blue cats. You can still go and catch a limit of croakers and cats but not the bigger ones like a few years ago. Now, I'm not blaming the commercial guys for this. There's enough blame to go around with more recreation anglers then ever before but, with the now added pressure of the comm guys it's gonna have an effect on the fishery.....

Man, what I wouldn't do to feel the fight of one of those big croakers right now.....

Not the best picture, but a 27# catfish I landed fishing with my Dad on Tuesday.

 

[Tennessee Dave]

That's a big ole' Blue! Congrats.

 

[bassboat]

Nice cat! Wish we had brutes like that, up this way...

 

[havana1]

whoa, brother! nice cat!

 

[Frozen Toews]

Just got the boat out of storage. Got to get her ready for the Wisconsin Opener. Need to make sure the live-well is capable of holding all the fish I'll say I caught.
