Live from the pond,river, lake or wherever 2020

My mother has some health issues too, because of the medicine she's on she gets worn out very easy. Every once in a while she'll tell dad she wants to go fishing. These are times Mom and Dad really enjoy. I'm very glad you had the opportunity to take your wife fishing. Aren't we lucky to have these women in our lives to spend time outdoors with? Glad you caught some fish to keep as well!

Sunlight to 1130 on monroe. It was a great morning, cloudy, decent wind, and hungry cats. Brought 3 home. Lost 1 at the boat and landed a 14 inch lmb. Looking forward to fewer boats

One of these days we will run into each other. Heck, we’ve probably been around each other and just don’t know it. We were on the lake from about 10:30-2:30. Caught 7 yellow bass and 3 bluegills. Earlier in the year we couldn’t stay away from the channel cats. Now for the past two months or so it’s been yellow bass everywhere we go. Boat is back in the shop now though, so we are probably done fishing for the season.

This mornings catch on pond using kayak. Crawdad pattern rooster tail 1/16 ounce.

Melt butter and brush on fillets lightly. Add the seasoning in pic. Air fryer on 450 for 12 minutes or until done due to thickness of fillets.
If you like blackened fish this is really close to that. Really good.

I'm headed to southern Jasper to fish a new spot. My wife is coming with me. But, so is my mother-in-law. So PLEASE!!! Get some bail money put together in case this trip goes south! Lol! I actually get along really well with my mother-in-law. I just finished restringing her rod and reel. It should be a fun trip. Hopefully we'll get into some catfish.

Great you guys had such a good time. That will be in your memory forever.

That is a whole Lotta fun!

Just put some stripers in my pond along with 30 pounds of fathead minnows.
Had some stripers years ago. Boy they can fight.

Walleyes from Lake Erie last weekend.

Yep the Hybrid Striped Bass are good eating, huge fillets. I cut the red meat away before packaging for the freezer or cooking them fresh. They will pull Largemouth of the same size backwards in the pond if tied tail to tail.

They grow pretty quickly if feeding them a good commercial fish food. Stocked at 6"-8" at 9 months to a year old, they can be 12"-13" at a year after stocking, 17"-18" 2 years after stocking, 20"-21" at 3 years, 24"-25" at 4 years. Those in the picture I caught on 8# test line, and you'd better have the drag set or they will pop the line. These would have been bigger if I had fed more, I forgot to turn the fish feeder up and was only feeding 7 seconds in the morning and again in the evening. 40# of food is lasting almost 7 weeks.
