still have yet to go :fail:
Sux living in the big city and my fishin holes are 1.5hrs north and south of me
I'm right there with ya. I tried Saturday and Sunday but high winds and sporadic storms made it miserable. My wife managed to land a good size rockbass off the dock at the marina. We fished about 20 minutes before a storm rolled in.
Sunday we hit the local river but the water was high, fast and muddy from all the run-off.
I'll be trying again this Saturday.
Congrats to everyone that are catching 'em.
I'm jealous.

The crappie should be starting up in a week or so here, and I can't wait. That also means the carp spawn will be on and its almost time to fling some arrows and clean up the water. Frog season is a little over a month away as well.
I just picked up a Quantum Catalyst PTi to put on my ultralight rod. Smooth as silk and I couldn't pass it up for the price.

Made it out fishing this afternoon!
Had a great time, too bad I was by myself. Its hard to take good pics of fish by yourself....
The Bass have moved on their beds. I caught mostly the smaller males, about 15 of them. I lost about 5 as well, 1 big guy right at the side of the boat.
Here's the lake
1st bas of the day.
Then a Pickeral
Smalles bass of the day
Sometimes it was hard to spot the beds in the murky water, but when you see cover like this; its a no brainer.
Sure enough!
another Pickeral, a lil bigger than the last one.

Finally have been getting on the fish the last couple weekends... Only two pictures, though. Been catching largemouth bass, bluegill, and yesterday found a few small crappie. Here are a couple decent bass. The knife is my Breeden wharny and is about 8 inches, for scale. The first fish is around 15, I guessed. (don't measure unless the bass almost pulls me into the lake!)

Awesome Bronzebacks Nick!
I got out this morning. The Huron river was still high, fast and murky. I opted not to take the boat out due to a constant 10 to 12 MPH wind that just isn't letting up.
Didn't catch any of the panfish I was looking for but I had the local pond almost to myself. The bass were biting early but turned off around noon so I hiked the local nature trail then headed home.
The bass were nothing to write home about but fun on my lightweight gear.
Caught a few more but they were even smaller yet. Caught one on a Roostertail, so small I don't know how he got all three hooks in his mouth. Couldn't have been more than 5".

Good to see you got out Rupestris! Any day fishing is a good day in my book.
Nick, those are some awesome smallies! Wish we had some of those around here. Largemouths are fun, but smallies are great and good eating too!
