Monster Crappie - Sam Tisdale's home pond?

feeds@yuku.com (gillbuster) — Thu, 15 May 2008 17:39:31 GMT

Sorry for the pics, My camera is in the shop for repair, had to take these pictues with my wife's camera after I got home. Family wanted an old fashion fish fry with our neighbors, so I took the ole wonderod and tried my luck at an old vintage pond in Wareham, MA. This is very close to Flax pond that Sam Tisdale used to stock his LMB in 1850. The place has got some monster fish...my personal best 7 crappie 15", @ 2 + pounds each.

Trio of Fish

feeds@yuku.com (JeffSod) — Sat, 03 May 2008 19:57:56 GMT

Went out for an hour just before sunset tonight. Overcast and raw here in N.E. fortunately there wasn't much wind except a the occasional gust. Fished the goldie for a while in a protected inlet off a point and picked up a yellow Perch, a couple of white Perch and several Calicos ranging from a small six incher to a large 14 inch one. The large one was the prize of the outing. That one took a synthetic streamer after I sacrificed the goldie

Afternoon with the brim bug

feeds@yuku.com (mcanders) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:23:37 GMT

I caught a couple largemouths and several shellcrackers this afternoon after work and a size 10 brim bug with black rubber legs. Mostly small frys but I thought this one should get some recognition for his fight.

The 2008 Skunk

feeds@yuku.com (spinzo) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:50:16 GMT

The 2008 skunk was eliminated on my first try of the year. Bought my license at 8:30 this morning and by 10:30 I'd hoisted the first fish of the year over my canoe's gunwale! Fooled a good 'gill on one of DP Popper's foam spiders (a GREAT bluegill gitter).

Had the incredible pleasure of hosting Alec at my place last night as he was in the area doing a demo on classic bass fly tying, and we took full advantage of the GLORIOUS weather we've had the last two...

Hi folks..

Stopped in and checked on you guys a few times since the site made the switch. For some reason it didn't want me to log in - and considering the fact I was ice-fishing I decided to check back later. Today, without thinking I tried logging in with HideHunter (which the old site wouldn't let me do - that's why I "became" Warmouth) - anyway, lo and behold - I'm HideHunter again.

As the water temperature raises the fishing here in NYC gets better by the day. The BG pictured is nearly eight inches long. The golden shiner...

Crappie madness and woolly buggers

feeds@yuku.com (gillbuster) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:26:50 GMT

Went to a new found lake in SE Mass on Sunday, (Snipatuit pond). Real windy day, forgot the camera, just wanted to get the rust off my flycasting arm from the long winter. Jeffsod has given me tips on several honey holes lakes in this general area, I am like a kid in a candy store. Snipatuit is a shallow lake, but a lot of underwater structure. I kept hanging up on weeds with sinking flies, so I changed to a nonbeaded black wolly bugger. Bingo!!! 1/2 hour later and about thirty nice 10"...

Callaway Gardens, Pine Mountain, GA - 4-12

feeds@yuku.com (DP Poppers) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:18:31 GMT

Yesterday must have been my lucky day. Had an opportunity to fish Callaway pop up. Even though the weather looked questionable in the morning I knew I needed to go even if I might get rained on...hey, its only rain and the fish are already wet.

By the time I got down to the flyshop in the afternoon the skies had started to clear and it looked like a good afternoon might be in store. I had no idea just how good it was going to be. As I walked...

The Great Lakes of NYC featuring Van cortland & Oakland

feeds@yuku.com (bill0215) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 05:49:20 GMT

This past weekend I fished several of NYC great lakes. I fished the lake in the bronx, Van Cortland Lake, in Van Cortland park. It has a surface area of 14 acres. The next day I fished the lake known as Oakland lake, in Alley pond park; located in Queens. It has a surface area of 11 acres. All of our lakes are shore fishing only.
There two other lakes in Queens, Kissena and the largest a 100 acre lake called Fresh Meadows Lake at the site of the 1964 Worlds Fair.

It was a beautiful 80 degree day in central Texas today. I had the kayak out on a local pond and had great fun with gills on my 3wt.

Chilly Gills

feeds@yuku.com (DP Poppers) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 20:21:34 GMT

Went down to my sis-in-law's earlier this evening for a Super Bowl get-together. I didn't care too much about the game - I was more interested in fishing an hour or so before dark to see of I could get fishing in the new year off to a good start. For February 3rd it wasn't bad at all - stuck 3 nice bluegill and had a couple more hits in a black RLD.

Here's a look at my first bluegill of 08...

Thanksgiving

feeds@yuku.com (bill0215) — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 12:27:02 GMT

I got an early start this morning. I was fishing by 10:30am, temp was about 59F. Took the switch rod & a spool of intermediate line. It was slow until the afternoon when a regular in the park began to scream as if he were being mugged. He had hooked a 4 LB bass on a lure! later i got a NICE crappie on a #14 PT(picture to follow) & a few BG. nothing like warm water fishing when it is warm.

I am an ADDICT.... I need hlep!

feeds@yuku.com (gillbuster) — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 09:20:10 GMT

Help, I am an ADDICT. When ever I see pictures of monster bluegills, crappies in the 1-3 pound range I start to salivate, start tying flies like crazy and obsessively fish the local ponds and lakes in quest of the monster pan fish to get my fix. Even though these pictures of fish are caught on traditional fishing gear, I can't imagine what it must be like to catch fish like these on a 2-4 wt fly rod...Is there a cure for this obsession or am I ruined for life? Help....
