I want to see all those fish you people catch big or small as long as you're proud of it. Maybe post a picture, the size/weight of the fish, what kind of fish it is, maybe what you caught it on, and where (if you want to keep any of these things a secret its okay)...waht do you think?

The last small mouth bass I caught this year. I think it was 14 inches long, not too big but man isn't it beautiful!
Kind of fish: Smallmouth Bass
Size/Weight: 14 inches
Bait: Worm softbait (can't tell you brand or color - secret :P)
Where: Eau Clarie River - Wausau, WI - early fall
-
It doesn't matter what color bait you used. I just need to know where you caught it. And you already pointed that out! Next catch will be mine! ;D ;D ;D
HA! But I didn't tell you that I caught it above the Schofield Dam right next to the jungle jim behind the green building! Good luck sucker! What are you going to do now! What are you going to do?!;D
Kind and color do play a part. For some reason Central Wisconsin bass like a few brand of soft baits and color combinations more then others.

...Thought that I share some of mine.

The very top fish was caught by my friend. The two fish below of it was caught by me... I was using a bomber lure. My friend was using the broken back rebel lure. We were fishing off from the bank at night. I also caught one with a DFG tag on its back. That was also on my birthday fishing trip... Can't wait to go back again... Oh.. and its in CA, in the sacramento river...
32" about 14# [first fish]
29 half" about 11# [second fish]
26" about 8# [third fish]

I'll go and suck up some bass there! thanks now.!!! ;D
You can try but the bass are long gone unless you're lucky. I've fished at the same spot and all I catch now are Pike. I caught a 22" yesterday which isn't that bad but I know there are larger ones there just have to be patient.
-
Looks like Lake Phalen in St. Paul...haha..
If it was phalen you'd see people walking along the shore, did you meant Round Lake next door. Background kinda looks like it though doesn' t it, hehe. I don't think I can get my boat through the tunnel to Round lake side. I'd even tell you, Rebecca Lake out in west Hennepin Co.

Jones Island - Milwaukee, WI ;)
Not a lot of people know this area, but it’s great for brown trout fishing during this time of the year (as long as there’s no ice). Just hook up a dart jig head with a 4†Gulp Alive Smelt and jig it slow off the bottom. A lot of fish this time of the year come to this spot because there’s a discharge from the power plant/electric company that’s next to this area. The discharge creates warm water that attracts bait fish, which in return attracts trout/salmon/etc. to the area. The fishing has been good around this area and under the Hoan Bridge, but this week there’s too much ice to fish. Also try spawn sacks, they’ve been doing good as well.
G’luck! :D

thanks addison...but i'm afraid of fish who swarm to warm areas like that...there are many chemicals that get absorbed into fish fat...

Very nice... did you weigh it?
yeah, caught in hbc tourny. 4.2 lbs. same fish caught 1.5 weeks earlier by my nephew when him n my bro went out prefishing, same scab markings on the fish, but much smaller. it was a fat ass pig a week earlier during the spawn. my bro said it weight a little over 5 lbs before. he wanted to bring it home so bad at the time but my bro said let it go incase we catch it again during tourny, n surely enough, we caught it, just about 40yrds from the last spot he caught it too.
the sad thing was i was gonna mount it so i kept it in the freezer. 6 months later i threw it away cuz i know i'll catch a bigger one one day, what a waste :D

White bass in Wisconsin is not consider a game fish. It's considered rough fish and you can take as much as you want. Wisconsin does not have a bag limit. The DNR there wants them gone to give more room for other game fishes like northern, muskies, and walleyes. The DNR are so strict if you catch a carp you have to kill it because it's illegal to return it back into the water alive.
damn...
when is a good time to be in wisconsin for the whitebass?

uh...what or who is your source...limit s varie from water to water...white bass is catagorized under panfish...some places daily limit is only 50...others unlimited...
-
hmong regulation is unlimited ;D
they make their own limit rules ;D

then it's the white peeps fault for not selectively harvesting over populated fish. they continue to harvest the species that r fewer.
n they get mad when hmong peeps volunteerly harvest loads of white bass.

Finally the bass are biting in the Wisconsin River...which is good. The bad part is that my brother caught both of them. Here's the picture of the second one which was about 16 inches the first one was 17 inches. :)

That's right I fished out a Rapala. That's a $6-8 bait and I got it for FREE NINETY NINE fool!. haha hahaha... Don't worry I'll catch up to my bro soon enough.

that is one dark smallie :o
-
that is one dark smallie :o
That's how the majority of the smallies in the Wisconsin River (well at least the part I fish in) look like. I think it's because the water is pretty murky due to the dead leaves and such in the water. If you fish in the streams the some of the fish look like this but some are green with red eyes. Can't wait till my month of volunteer layoff - I'll be fishing sun up to sun down... :P

everyone here is doing good. we start our little 3 hr tournaments this monday. petes little bro just moved here. but yea, ill try to keep in touch with ya some how to see how ya doing.

heck yeah, there's alot, they're just more spread thru out the state, unlike mn where we're all in the metro area. how bigs that bass? if u guys plan to fish the wausau tourny, ,let me know, i'll give to the contact info
-
no, i'm alright with the wausau tourny! not ready for it yet. just saving up to boost up my rig a liitle bit. just spent alot of money on a 101 minnekota and a new lower unit. the bass is a small 5.25 lb. my first 5 lbner that i caught 2 years a go that i was going to mount but i saw petes and said nnaw ill wait.
-
still waiting for the 6 lbs club es. ;D
5 lbs'er r good to mount, shit, i got like 4-5 of them mounted 5 lbs'er. still waiting for my 6.62 from the taxidermist. a collection of 5 lb'ers looks better than one 6 lbs.
u guys doing some serious bassin this weekend? i might head over to wi side for some since mn stupid ass opens so late.
-
yea but i think my parents ate the 5lbner. yep bass opens this weekend. going to hit this lake hard that has some potential 7lbners. will post pictures when i get back this weekend.

u can't go straight to 7 lbs, u must follow the "bass law", so u need a 6 lbs first. ;D
come back with pic, or no care
-
u do know that there r hmong bass tournaments in wi, mi n sc/nc/ga besides mn area right? it's a growing sport, it's just better well heard of in mn cuz of the area.

I know this is pretty wimpy compared to the monster bass everyone else is fishing but hay I live in Central WI where the large mouth just aren't big where I live even when compared to the small mouths.. :-[
Each were only about 13-14 inches but were as hard as heck to find because they were picky and their minds were on mating more then eating.

nope. it was just me, my gf, and two frens. it was a slow bite. it'll be prime time by memorial weekend. you coming out??
-
My bro and I were a little crazy this morning and went fishing though it was cold and windy. For the most part it wasn't that bad. This isn't the best picture but this smallie was the largest I caught of the day (only 14 inches). Hopefully the smallmouth will come out quicker then they have been the past few weeks and bring the big guys with them.

It hit my crank bait so I'm guessing small fish? Where we were fishing there aren't many pan fish either so maybe crayfish?

I had some fish but the fishing up here is very very slow and the big one just aren't out. This weekend's rain really raised up the water level making another block in the fishing process. I'm really just waiting for the stream fishing season to start.

...she like most hmong girls is small and petite...so in contrast those bass (though they do have some size to them) appear super huge...as for the teaching I just told her to pay attention to edges and also gave her first dibbs on a spot that I thought had potential...ne xt time out I'm leaving her at home tho...ha!

Damn there are plenty tips and of course plenty folks here with the know how...but lets see...vary your retrieves...an d if you get one remember how you retrieved it...sometimes fish respond to a fast retreive and a slow retrieve...and sometimes that is the difference between you hooking up fish and people just watching and wondering what they are doing wrong... ;D

This was me at Calhoun a few weeks ago...it was shallow enough for me to walk out about 60 feet from shore to fish a deeper hole...
Some kids walked by and were like..."Are you God! He's walking on Water!" LOL
Those ducks were scaring the fish...

Hmm... might have to hit up Calhoun then. A coworker and I canoed at Cedar and Brownie lake and got NOTHING. Maybe it was the storm in the morning that affected the fish. Or maybe we just suck. ;D

Actually I do more river fishing where I'm at. However this past weekend I did some lake fishing. What I used were yamamoto senkos, and topwater such as zara spook and storm chug bug.

man thats sad to see all of those bass being taken. PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE THAT WE MUST PROTECT THE FISH FOR ANOTHER DAY. iF YOU WANT TO EAT FISH GO TO WAL-MART ITS PROABLY A WHOLE LOT CHEAPER. CATCH AND RELEASE PEOPLE -CATCH AND REALESE FOR THE NEXT PERSON . POSTING ALL THOSE BIG BASS ON PH IS A DAM SHAME. THEY WILL NEVER BE CAUGHT BY ANOTHER FISHERMEN AGAIN. IVE SEEN GOOD SIZE LAKES GET KILLED BY ASIAN FISHERMEN. AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY THAT THE FISHING HAS SLOWED DOWN OVER THE YEARS. LETS TRY TO EDUCATE FISHERMEN (ASIAN) ABOUT HOW TO PROTECT OUR FUTURE IN BASS FISHING. :'

imo, c&r is stupid. only greeting people practice c&r.
selective harvest is the way to go. i have my reasons.

Selective harvest:
sheaphead, throw back...carp, throw back...big bass, keep for dinner...like that??? ;D

somewhat ;D
keep what u only need, not what u need for next time.

this. keep only what you can eat. just because you caught it doesnt mean you have to eat it. catch 10 fish, keep the biggest 5, let the rest go. although i'm surprised many of you are keeping those largemouths. i personally think they taste nasty. thats just me though.

They're called "Alewifes" here. Kinda like shad but very thin.

hey addison, r u bobber fishing with live bait or r u cranking with artificial?
we call them alewifes here, but they're thinner than shads. i usually don't bobber fish unless the water is calm with no wind (otherwise it'll be all over the place). most the time i set off the bottom or cast spoons.
here's a few vids i put together with a friend to help anyone out that's interested in fishing the great lakes for salmon off the piers. hope this helps.

sword. how does the mini mite move in the water? is it a small swimbait or do you just bounce it around?
you pretty much said it...swim and bounce, given it's design...but the day I caught those crappies and walleye...
I just let it free fall and felt for the bite or just watched my line
-
good shiet sword... u ever considered hunting? i bet your woman will like it too
-
I'm actually scared to pick up another hobby such as hunting...spec ificaly bow hunting...
cause I know I will like it...then there goes my money...damn!!!
what to do...what to do...

what to do...what to do...
oh yeah.. gotta pay to play.. i spent $1200 for one bow alone. Another $500 for my other bow. A box of 12 arrows = $60+. 3 hunting broadheads = $40. :'( >:D $2000+ for my 4 guns+ammos+accessories.. Adds up quickly.
fishing does cost a lot too. One of my hardcore guy buys those $300 rod and reels and he's got like a couple of them too.. $300 for a gun is okay, but for a rod??? reel? no way!

look at the lobsters he got from spearfishing
-
Nice lmb. Looks like he was in shallow water?
Spring time bassing, they are heading to the shallow but I fished in a river system so the tides can go as high up or low low. Their bass bed structures are not like a pond or lake system where they breed closer to the shore. They still behaved the same. I'm always looking for underground structural and I like to use my crank bait to thump the bottom to wake them up. Careful not to snag though.

nice fish....i lost a 15+ lber last summer...but im going back to the honey hole to get it...once the weather picks up.....i'll post up the image soon as i catch it... :D

Alas, I'm a summer fisherman, not an ice fisherman.

Here's some fishes we caught on Saturday out in Los Banos, Sunday was much better, there was eight of us out there and we maxed out with 16 stripers. On Sunday we took 7 home with 5 of us fishing out there, we would have caught our limit but we took off early to watch the sorry ass pacman v.s. clottey fight.
And yes they were all 18 inches and up...

The one in the pix are Pacific Mackerals. In socal, you can catch them by the bucket full at times. When the macks are there, if you have 10 hooks in the water, you can catch 10 fish at the same time. Like white bass there's no limit on macks.
The big macks are King Mackeral on the east coast and Gulf of Mexico. Pacific Mackerals don't get as big and are great bait for big fish. One of my buddy got this WSB on a whole mackeral fishing off his yak last Fri down in San Diego.

I went fishing and about the only fish I caught were some gar's. Small ones of about 2 feet long to big ones of about 4 feet long. I'd rather be catching some dogfish, at least they put up much better fights than dragging dead logs that jumps.

Those are actually pretty popular lakes. They are not dirty lake because they don't allow you to swim in it but rather they don't allow body contact with the water. The water is for drinking. It make no sense to me since they allow boats on the water but don't allow body contact. I would think gas/oil from boats are worst than someone touching the water.......

Those are some big shads. Is that what the stripers out there in Cali feed on? I caught a 16" shad once and the tail had nothing left, like something picked apart at it.

One ugly azz Dogfish aka Bowfin well over 30 inches. Didn't put up a good fight. I know some of yall think it's trash fishing. I do too but couldn't resist not taking a picture of this beast. Caught this in Chisago Lake, MN with an Xcalibur xr75 Rattle bait.
(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs029.ash2/34822_135606713135010_100000570452448_297104_8056285_n.jpg)
My cousin holding my bowfin upright for a body pic. We poked his azz on the side with a gaff hook to bring it in cause neither me or my cousin was gonna touch that thing to bring it in the boat lol.

My cousin holding up a nice Large mouth off the same lake "Chisago Lake". Xcalibur xr75 Rattle Baits are a hot item and still is til this day. Had to grab a whole stash at Cabellas after this trip was over.

My cousin's 10 lb (9.8 to be exact) Northern off the Centervill Dam off Highway 14. He fished out momma and pappa bear (2 Northerns) in the zone thus ended our fishing venture when no more game fish was biting. The 2nd Northern wasn't worth a picture probably was 3-4lbs. I am tellin you PH'rs Xcalibur's XR XXX lipless crank baits are my new hot lures for the season.

Thanks O0
I'm from Sheboygan, WI right on the west side of Lake Michigan. Here we usually cast spoons (i.e. Kastmasters), or set live bait fish off the bottom (alewife). There's plenty of charter boats here as well but when the action is hot off the piers the charter boats are close to us shore fishermen.
You and your friends should think about giving pier fishing a shot, its much more rewarding knowing you can catch bigger fish than the charter boats and saving hundreds of dollars.

Just a question addison. Not trying to get on you or nething. Isn't that a lot of fish to eat? And I thought its not good to eat to many fish from lake michigan? Just wondering because I heard they were going to post signs up at a popular beach downtown milwaukee here that's says swim/eat at own risk due to high mercury this year in that system?

You bring up a very good point that everyone should be informed about with salmon/trout.
The WI-DNR advise the public to consume one meal per month of salmon/trout. Most the fish I catch I give away to family and friends (1 per family), and I keep one or two salmon every outing and freeze them.
Here's a link for more info: http://dnr.wi.gov/fish/consumption/FishAdvisoryweb2010lo.pdf

Nice catch VH. Don't know why but the bigger cats get the uglier they get, to me anyways......
As for the amount recommended anyone should eat, I think it's everywhere. In SoCal we also have a guide line that DFG (Dept. of Fish and Game) put out.

Whats the eating guideline there?
All you can eat stripers if you're Hmong? :D ;D
-
I don't care so much for eating guidelines. The bullcat saw an oil bath. ;D My guideline is avoid meat next to bones and avoid dark mudline meat. Wash your fileted meat well, with salt bath. Cook your fish in hot oil bath.
It's weird but at the moment, the bullcat meat was much better than whitebass meat. :idiot2: Beats me, I haven't eaten any bullheads since being a little kid. Somehow this fish's meat reminded me of ocean cod.
The 14" bullhead was kind of skinny looking so it wasn't worth weighing it. I guesstimat maybe just over 1 lb. I've caught some that are nearly twice the girth before years ago that would weigh more and close to 3 lbs but didn't have a scale back then.

Where do you fish at???

Yajster,
it'll be better pics if you have something to compare them too. like hold the fish or put it next to a rod. i'm not saying those aren't the size fish you are saying but to have them compare to something is better. just my .02........... ..........

Little Sturgeon Bay and Sturgeon Bay in 15-30fow have been producing limits of whitefish! Won't last long, get out there while you can. I'm hoping to get out soon. IDK when yet. LOL.

I talked to my cousin's how are unemployed and go ice fishing at least 2-3 times a week up in Little Sturgeon Bay and they said it'll be hot like this until about mid to late-February. Not much time left. I needa get out there soon.

Little Sturgeon Bay would be the area. I personally haven't been there this year yet. I'll get more info as to where the hot spot is at. Some friends are heading out tomorrow all day, so I'll get back to you on that Will.

Hey will. How does your V8 4runner tow? I'm disappointed the 2010-2011 4runner does not come in V8. My brother in law just purchased a new 2011. Love the height and ground clearance of the 4runner.
Not buying a new car, just looking. Love the new Landcruiser too but they're expensive. I like the '08 - '11 Sequoias but its not the best off road SUV.
-
The 4.7 tows ok on the 4runner. The v8 is awd, the v6 is rear. I've towed single and dual axle trailers, the duals pull so much easier even on a 21ft skeeter compared to my single axle 19ft. O0 With your boat, it should be a cake walk with the 4.7. The 4runners off road capability and drivetrain is great. I trailblaze on the lakes and wouldn't want to be in any other vehicle than the v8 4runner. Get on the lake, lock the center diff and give'r.
If I was to buy a newer suv, i'd probably look at the current Lexus GX460 and skip out on the current 4runner. The GX sports the current V8 4.6 with AWD. O0 Good Luck!!!

Lexus? Man, one must win the lottery to purchase such name brand....Also, with that SUV....I wouldn't want to go offroad with it--too pretty!! Interesting though. A guy in my neighborhood hauls a 22' ski boat with that gx460. GO YOTA!!
I currently pull with my 4.0L Explorer. A few things I don't like about the explorer is its car base frame, big fat axle arm joints. I get stuck in 10" of snow/mud b/c low clearance. Its a little slow at acceleration and inclines. Other than those few things I love it, hauls ok for the northern states here, passengers enjoy the DVD, leather seats and 3rd row seating.
Dual axles are awesome! Makes towing much easier.

I tow my 16footer with a Chevy Tahoe....can't even feel the boat back there...... ;D ;D ;D

Problem with me for that beast is, its a gas guzzler, no off road capability and no 3rd row seating. Not going to lie, that thing will haul azz from here to mexico and still have plenty of power to haul back many immigrants over the border.
I think I've found the perfect car for me. I might just go with a used GX470, 460 or a 4runner V8.
-
well you must not pull 4000lbs behind you :idiot2:
Nah...I don't. But I will!!! O0 O0 O0 One day!!

Will, can your 4runner do this? I bet and still haul a boat!

i saw one of those 4 runners towed a huge boat at prescott... and i pretty surprised. the boat had to be 4 times the size of the car..

yajster358 - Nice catches! Great to see others taking a kid fishing. O0 Farm raised trout and bluegills are the best way to introduce kids to fishing.

Great job taking the youngsters out and teaching them about the great outdoors. Remember practice CPR, start 'em young.
Anyway, Dodge Viper towing a yacht? I haven't seen that but these two videos are amazing:

I got this G2 Shellcracker a while back when BTD was doing the sale on the Punker. So took it out for a spin at the local duck sh1t hole. I got there before it got bright and fished til about 8. I hooked up 2 (~2 - 2.5 lbs), nothing big but I'm happy with them just to get it on a new bait. First one bit on the first twitch/pop after casting it and the second one bit on the sloooooooow wake. Got another 4 bass to roll/bump it but no hook up. Even saw an osprey swoop down and carried off a 1 - 1.5 lb bass.

They can be found anywhere along the coast man. I'm located in socal but they should be coming into the bay too. Look for sandy beaches and start casting. Good lures to start out with are swimbaits, especially big hammers.

Nice fish Roc..Ocean fishing must be hella fun!

It is, I live like 10 minutes away from the ocean, the best part is that it's mostly free. There's a ton of species there too. Here's some pics of my uncles with Bat Rays, by far the strongest animals we catch regularly. They will really test your tackle. Imagine 100lb underwater stealth bombers pulling all the line you have on your reels.

Taking my son fishing. Priceless!
-
Great Videos basside! I hope to do that with a son of my own one day! Some of my best memories were times fishing with my dad.
I live in Santa Barbara, california, currently going to school down here. There aren't that many hmong families, just a small sprinkling plus my friends at the university.
Come down, the weather is getting good! Pretty soon the mackerel are gonna come in then we get random hmong families from Fresno fishing at the end of the pier haha. It's a sight to see everyone fishing for these fish, the men are bsing and fishing, the women are talking and cleaning fish, and the kids are playing with crabs and seaweed.
On a flip note I'll be visiting MN in about 2 months, I'm gonna bring some stuff that we use out here to hopefully catch some northerns and other fish.

Here are some more pics I dug up in my picture folders, they aren't really trophies, just sharing more species with the PH family:
Mussels we pick from a rocky spot:

This female crab has eggs, some people like eating the eggs once they've been cleaned:
(http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/964/newyearsfishin3.jpg)
The famous "kingfish," a.k.a. White Croaker. Most people call it a trash fish, but again asian people like them haha:
(http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/4624/newyearsfishin2.jpg)
A Thornback Ray. It doesn't really have much meat, but I know a guy who eats em. I tried it but all I got was chewy-stringy meat from the wings:

Queenfish, they are great bait from Halibut. This one bit a lure as long as itself:

Another Calico Perch:

Hey friends,
I just went to Eureka, Wi and caught about two coolers in 1 hour, but it took me the whole day. The school of fishes are running every where and it was hard to find the hot spot. The white bass should be running this week and another week before it goes to Fremont so stock up before you get the smaller ones. Good luck
Update:
Jefferson County-not biting white basses-bass run is over already
Fort Atikson should be next week or in two weeks

trust me i'm not as bad as some of your hmong folks in MN/WI harvesting over 500 white bass....

Just reminds me of the time I saw some hmong guys fishing. They were keeping everything. I saw them have a little 2 inch white bass on their stringer. I mean seriously? Do you really keep that?
-

Here in WI there's no possession limit or season on white bass, so keeping 500 is perfectly legal. I've seen other races do this as well, not just Hmong.

*SIDE-NOTE* Although I do agree with some of your points, we can only teach and practice good conservation by leading as an example.

In CA, it's the same. But in CA if you catch a white bass, you are REQUIRE TO KILL IT IMMEDIATELY by removing the head or cutting through the gills.

Seriously?! :o
Is the white bass population that bad there? What's the reasoning behind this? Link? I'm just curious. Thanks.

I don't know the reasoning behind it but here are some of my theory:
White bass
1. is not a native species.
2. veracious, taking over and killing native species.
3. over populate
Ca Dept of Fish and Game have purposely kill entire lakes/streams just to get rid of the white bass. Once all the white bass (and other fish) are dead, they start restocking them. There's only one lake in CA that has white bass that I know of but for that lake you have the option of releasing it right away or kill it right away.
That same rule also apply to Northern Pike.
-

Wow! That is just insane! :idiot2:
I would think the Hmong population in CA is big enough to keep the whitebass population in check. ;D
-

i think hmong ppl would rather go for stripers since we have an abundant of those here??? but who know, only if we had more white bass. since we don't it's hard to say.........
-
Don't the CA rules apply to those Muskies too?
-
Don't the CA rules apply to those Muskies too?
probably but musky is not in the list of species. so i don't know if we have any of those in CA.
-
Seen the story in some fish news about invasive muskie problems in trout stocked lakes a few years ago. The muskies were being disposed of.
-
Just because meeka people advised of killing them immediately doesn't mean we should, right? I think since most of us love eating them, we should conserve them ourselves. We take it for granted now but once they're gone, they're gone. Especially CA, you guys don't have 45,000 lakes like the Midwest.

It's a DFG regulation. For me (and assuming other hmongs), definately would love to see more places have them. But once DFG finds out, they will try to get rid of it. I have yet to catch a white bass in CA. Shoot, the state is being sued from some tree huggers for stocking fish (mainly trout). Too much political crap.......... ...
Addi: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/regulations/FreshFish-Mar2011/

Yea in CA our fisheries are run like crap. Thank your local DNR officer that they are running things right in the midwest. An example is that they are closing a lot of good shoreline along the coast to protect the fish (which they only block fishing and not other stuff like oil drilling or sewage pipes) but at the same time they are now increasing the bag limits on many ocean rockfish and reducing the size limit. Makes no sense at all (and the places they are closing are places closest to town instead of the hundreds of miles where no one lives and fishes). This means people can keep more fish from the few places that are open.
Another thing is that our state is in financial death, we barely have any wardens to catch poachers. They don't come when you call that someone is harvesting lobsters out of season etc etc. I remember my dad used to say that they would catch bonito off our piers (a type of small tuna), and now we're lucky if they come once in 5 years. The limit is 5 under 22 inches and 5 over 22 inches, and people would catch 10 inchers all day by the trash-bag load.
As for the trout, there is a private group suing the state department of fish and game because they say the stocked trout are breeding with the native trout and basically making them dumber and weaker. All stocked trout now have to be unable to reproduce by electro shocking when they are still in the egg. This one is hard to tell which side to join, because stockers are fun to catch, but natives are 100x better to fish, fight, and eat.
Oh and lastly, the whitebass lake has an overpopulation of whitebass. Like fish4keep said, you have the option of releasing the fish, or killing it right away to take home. You are not allowed to transport live whitebass. Hmong people don't fish the lake that much because it's way the hell in the middle of nowhere. It's 3 hours from me (and I'm 1.5 hours from LA) and at least 2.5 hours away from Fresno. They've got stripers in Millerton lake, and that's 30 minutes away from Fresno. Also, the lake is high in mercury from both natural and human sources (army base nearby). I hear that during the spawn up in the narrows of the lake, you can almost walk across the river on all the whitebass.
Edit: And it's true about the pike/musky thing. There was a lake up north that pike were found in and after trying different ways, the fish and game with the community decided it was best to poison the whole lake and restart stocking again. The pike are too aggressive, and add to that the warm waters and fast growing times down here equals trouble for the other species. Their biggest problem now is dealing with carp. My local lake has opened up bow-fishing for carp, anyone have recommendation s on a bow? If I can use it to hunt deer/turkey it would be double good!

The limit is 5 under 22 inches and 5 over 22 inches, and people would catch 10 inchers all day by the trash-bag load.
As for the trout, there is a private group suing the state department of fish and game because they say the stocked trout are breeding with the native trout and basically making them dumber and weaker. All stocked trout now have to be unable to reproduce by electro shocking when they are still in the egg. This one is hard to tell which side to join, because stockers are fun to catch, but natives are 100x better to fish, fight, and eat.
Oh and lastly, the whitebass lake has an overpopulation of whitebass. Like fish4keep said, you have the option of releasing the fish, or killing it right away to take home. You are not allowed to transport live whitebass. Hmong people don't fish the lake that much because it's way the hell in the middle of nowhere. It's 3 hours from me (and I'm 1.5 hours from LA) and at least 2.5 hours away from Fresno. They've got stripers in Millerton lake, and that's 30 minutes away from Fresno. Also, the lake is high in mercury from both natural and human sources (army base nearby). I hear that during the spawn up in the narrows of the lake, you can almost walk across the river on all the whitebass.
Edit: And it's true about the pike/musky thing. There was a lake up north that pike were found in and after trying different ways, the fish and game with the community decided it was best to poison the whole lake and restart stocking again. The pike are too aggressive, and add to that the warm waters and fast growing times down here equals trouble for the other species. Their biggest problem now is dealing with carp. My local lake has opened up bow-fishing for carp, anyone have recommendation s on a bow? If I can use it to hunt deer/turkey it would be double good!
You seemed pretty informed and educated about what is happening in CA.
Have you joined a conservation club to help with the issues you've expressed concern about? What have you done to help your situation? (not meant to be offensive, just curious) :)
If you want to make change, you have to take action. O0

this past weekend i caught two small northern's on a local lake but i'm too embarrassed to post it up. It's not worth posting. ehehehehe
-
Sounds great, I love fighting northerns (the two that I have caught my whole life anyways haha).
As for what I've done, I attended the hearing about the closures with fellow recreational, spear, and commercial fishermen held in my city and voiced directly my concerns. The thing is though, that these public hearings were pretty rigged. A lot of the hearings were held in-land (like in Sacramento vs. in San Francisco) which is hours from the coast, most likely to make it harder for more people to come. Secondly, there are multiple lawsuits against this process; two major ones are that they haven't done the necessary research that this process will help the environment at all, and the second one is from a film-maker who was not given access to a meeting even though they are "public".
At first I thought this was all conspiracy stuff (which I don't really care for) but when you start reading it, there's a lot of shady stuff going on, namely that the process is funded by a private organization coming from the Packard Foundation (who definitely are looking for something in return for their $18 million investment). Most fishermen believe it is a move to get fishermen out of areas where elitists don't want us. Fishing down here isn't as much a family tradition as it is up there. Most people only know that meat comes from the supermarket. The idea of eating the fish I caught surprised almost all of my friends (they always ask, "you can eat that?"). In fact, many people will look at you in disgust for harming a poor little creature. It's a pretty tough battle, one which we fishermen are losing. The only thing I haven't done yet is donate money to the organizations fighting it (I should though, but it may be too late).
But enough ranting, haha, this is a post your fish thread not a political one, so post those fishies!

The one and only butt slayer (used to). O0 Haven't been fishing much in the salt any longer. Mainly lmb nowadays.....

Holy crap dude you are the "Wang" I knew it was familiar. Yea i used to read your reports all the time. Pretty much a celebrity. No more butts eh? I just restarted fishing for them again.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
It's funny, my nephew said the same thing too, "you're a celebrity". We have been approached a bunch of time by ppl who read my reports/posts. Not no more, but barely (probably about 5-6 times/yr). I've only been out once this year for butts for a handful of pancakes. Last year (spring) I found a spot LOADED with big butts. It was guarantee a legal or two with most in the 30+"ers. One day a guy beat me to the spot where he caught a 50+"er. :'( :'( :'( Biggest butt I've seen from a boat or shore. Only if I was there a little earlier....... .......
-
I know your pain. I was fishing plastics down my normal stretch of beach while being followed by 2 fishermen who were tossing frozen anchovies. These guys were using old gear and catching thornbacks, shovels, and small bat rays. Then I hear them yelling and stuff, I look over and they brought up a 30+ incher. I mean come on... and they say luck doesn't count for anything... I did end up getting a 23 incher on my end though.
I notice you liked to use live bait, do you do this for open beach as well as river channel? The water is just starting to get past 57 degrees constantly up here, so the bite will be good in about a week as long as we don't have rain. How's the LMB? We've been doing good on pencil poppers at sunset at my local pond/lake.

Six anglers from St. Paul face misdemeanor charges for keeping 598 white bass in a single day - 388 more than their daily limit allowed - while fishing Devils Lake last week near Minnewaukan, N.D. The caller also reported the anglers as having several ice chests

Will these people ever learn their lesson? Just what is anyone going to do with all that fish?

We also got two legals that morning, 29" and 26". But I would give those two for that one anyday. ;D
Yeah, I mainly use live bait for butts. I use them in both open and river channel. For open beaches, you have to find trenches/holes. If you can't find those, it's hard using live bait as the wave will push the bait back. But if you find trenches/holes, you can cast the live bait into them and the wave wont be able to push them back cause the waves will just roll over the trench/hole.
You know our parks are pretty heavily pressure so to get them, you usually have to hit it up in the early AM or late PM. I've been getting a few on each outting. Mostly on ikas and senkos, but I've been getting some on sammies and gunfish too. Nothing more exciting than topwater...... .......

It should be about time for them? I haven't done it for a while and since I sold 90% of my salt gear I probably wont. Got this guy my last time out for them. Didn't taste too good either so I don't think I'll ever keep them again (if I catch one)....

Oh man, those would be awesome in an aquarium. Did you release them back into the sea? I'm sure they'd be fine if you did. So you didn't like the taste huh? I hear most people like leopard shark over most of the others we catch.

Wow, looks like Ocean fishing could be fun, . I'll try it one of these day(s). Of course I live here in MN. So could be a challenge fro me. FAIL. But one of these days, I'll try. LOL

That's fish slayage for sure. How to perch compare to whitebass as far as taste goes?
I'd choose perch over whitebass any day! They don't have a fishy taste to them and are full of meat. I only fillet and deep fry my perch. Only thing is eater size perch, 9+ inches, are harder to find than whitebass this time of the year.

Blue gills and sun fish are one of the best tasting fish around! Just fillet them, coat them in some shore lunch flour and deep fry. Delicious!
As for largemouth and smallmouth bass, I only CPR them. Catch-Picture-Release. O0

The Hmong way is to "muab xwv nrog txwj lom, zaub txhwb, kua txob" and various other herbs. The American way is to batter and deep fry. I bet if you xwv or deep fry a dirt, it would taste just as good.
That being said, I'm with Addison. It's about CPR for me. As I heard before, smallmouth and largemouth taste like swamp. Why would anybody want to eat them?

I'll catch and release 'em. Don't even know how to cook small, big mouth bass. Steam, deep fry? Unlike striper and white bass, those I know what I need and how to cook it.

It probably has to do with water. Here in CA a lot of our lakes are rock basin reservoirs so the bass in them are pretty clean. We notice that the taste is different when we catch them from other lakes that are more dirt based and lined with cat-tails. Since we don't have walleyes, I can't compare, but I feel like our bass taste about the same as crappie. If you guys get red ear sunfish, those are pretty good too, and they get big.
BTW addison that's a lunker for a lunch break! wtg!

Here's a super quick fishing vid that I put together of my brother and I fishing a stream in the hills. We were fishing catfish and smallmouth, but fishing was only so-so. My brother had a cat on but it came off, and I got a smallie on a white tube. Somehow word got out about our spot and every day we came there were people fishing for catfish. You could tell as the week went on there were fewer and fewer fish in that particular pool.

These catfish were from last week, first one was the one my brother got at 22 inches, the other two were the ones I got at 21 and 20 inches.

yeah, for both of you...i love eating fish...and wanted to try them for the first time because i usually catch and release...howe ver, many families around me love eating sunnies and large mouth bass--claiming they taste good...so i tried it and was disappointed.. . >:( >:( >:(

It doesn't hurt me any.... haha.. but to answer your question, its NOT INSIDE the gills, so to speak.
Is that type of scale better than the clamp ones for the bottom lip?

now that is a monster...nice catch fly...with all the fishing i do, i still havent got close to one that size!
-
Those are northern strain yea? Either way that's a great catch.
-
Yea my local lake lost its southern strain bass population to the northern strain. They didn't like the clear cold deep water of the reservoir where the northern strain and small mouth thrive. The lake where I caught those sunfish still has florida strain bass because it's shallower, murky/warm, and has a ton of shad. I saw two 6-8lbers that day, one grabbed my sunny that I had just hooked and ran with it before spitting it out. She came back to chase the sunny but missed it close in. Again, nice fish, from my lake the northern strains rarely pass 5 lbs.
-
from my lake the northern strains rarely pass 5 lbs.
Northern stains do attain 12-13lbs. But anything in the 5lbs range on up is a trophy. MN's record is only 8lbs 15oz, but WI's is something like 12lbs. So it's just a matter of time before someone from MN bags a 10lbs+.

Problem with MN is the open season. The big females are usually done spawning.

Largemouth and large body, I'll say...
Nice catch.
First 6lb'er of the year. She was Released After Photos..
I was fishing my usual bullrush spot and the usual bullrush hasn't grown yet so I was tossing my secret spinner. She came at it twice and missed it. She was either bumping it or was too fat to catch it.. Either way, I switched right over to my secret jig and tossed it back to her. As soon as she picked up the jig, BAM!!! I set the hook with my 40lb power pro and medium heavy cumara. That jig dug into the top of her mouf and she was not getting away! haha.. I hand landed her, forgot I had the net in all the excitement..
She went 20 7/8th - 6lb 11oz.. In the first picture, she was jumping around so I couldn't get a good picture but I did have my video camera going to show she was 20 7/8

Over the Memorial weekend, I dragged a catfish to shore at the St. Croix. It fell off and jumped right back into the water...I lost it. So, now, I got my Hmong butcher knife with me. The next cat was larger....It, too, fell off the hook but was still struggling on shore. I jumped down from the tiny cliff I was on top off and pierced right through its body. Got this one!
Hey, nice video. Thanks for sharing it.
Here's a super quick fishing vid that I put together of my brother and I fishing a stream in the hills. We were fishing catfish and smallmouth, but fishing was only so-so. My brother had a cat on but it came off, and I got a smallie on a white tube. Somehow word got out about our spot and every day we came there were people fishing for catfish. You could tell as the week went on there were fewer and fewer fish in that particular pool.

These catfish were from last week, first one was the one my brother got at 22 inches, the other two were the ones I got at 21 and 20 inches.

They do have alot of bones... They are very good eating. Well some just use it as soup and eat very slowly. It taste plain o' simple. Some what better than striper.
-
I remember when stillwater, in MN had them shads. I use them as bait to catch big catfish and boy you sure did catch huge cats. To bad, it seems to me that those shads are long gone.IDK why no more shads over at stillwater.
-
no more big shads but still lots of little shads

That carrot stix is sick, I wanted one for a striper combo... but alas I don't do enough striper fishing to justify it. That and also at the moment I have too many fishing rods... btw how are you doing on the casting addison? I remember you're pretty new to baitcasters right? Still getting backlashes? When I was starting out, I bought Izorline First String in 20lb test, at like $2.99 a spool I could afford to cut some out ;D 20lb is just about the easiest line to cast too. The First String is plenty tough, just that it needs to be replaced after awhile because it gets nicked easily. I was thinking about moving to Sufix or PowerPro braided lines, but I never have much luck with them. Till then, I'll stick with Izorline Platinum.
Here's a fishing vid of myself, my brother and my cousin doing some harbor fishing. We didn't catch as many sand bass as we did before but it was still a good time. I feel like whenever I bring a camera for the intent of taking photo/video of fish, I usually don't do as well haha. Enjoy!

Funny thing was this bass took my jig while I was fixing my birds nest and I steall caught it :2funny:
I'm currently using Trilene XL 12lbs mono, but will need more practice before switching to expensive line. Gonna pick up some Trilene Big Game line soon before switching to Suffix 832. LOL.
No YT at work. Will check it out later. O0

More recent fishing, this was two days ago. Our beaches finally warmed up and the halibut moved in. This is my bro's 24 incher. My cousin lost a big one too. I had no bites.
(http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/4351/halibut3.jpg)
He also caught this short at about 16 inches, damn beginners luck.
(http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9551/halibut1.jpg)
The creek outlet was having somewhat of a die-off. The stream mouth can't reach the ocean because of all the sand that built up. Some nice fish were swimming around lazy as they were running out of air. This is a nice sized pile perch that had died probably just an hour or so before.

Roc - Do you eat all those fish? How do they taste? ???
-
Out of those the only ones we kept were the opaleye (it was gut hooked), a few mackerel, and the halibut my bro caught. They are great eating but ocean fish vary in tastes wildly. You have to change cooking style depending on the fish you take. The mackerel are a fatty fish with strong flavor, best suited for grilling or smoking. I like it salt-grilled japanese style where they call it saba-shioyaki.
In contrast the halibut is very lean white meat. The best way I found to cook it is to fry in hot oil after some good marinating with old bay seasoning. I can't seem to get halibut to taste good being cooked asian style. I still have half the fish in the freezer soon to become sashimi, the japanese have a very similar fish they call the hirame which tastes amazing when served raw and sliced ultra thin.
Rockfish taste like walleye ;) seriously though, the stuff the market as red snapper from the pacific coast is rockfish. We don't get red snapper in the pacific. Chinese style steamed with ginger and green onions, then top it with sliced yellow onion and pour hot peanut oil over the whole thing. Soooo good.
-
Oh and if you were down here, you'd love fishing for halibut. It's like bass fishing but in the ocean. The most popular choice is to toss swimbaits along a sandy shoreline, but my bro and I favor throwing drop-shotted GULP minnows. Any form of structure in close will most likely concentrate them. I've caught them on spoons, plugs, plastics, and live-bait. You get sharks every once in awhile too, especially if you're using bait. Now that the ocean is warm, you can go out in shorts and a tshirt and enjoy the cool air and the warm seawater and soft sand beneath your feet. Oh the lovely ladies from the local university dressed in swimsuits help too.

Roc - I'd love to come hit up some Cali bass lakes and ocean fish. One of these days. So much to do, so little time. :D

LOVE eating halibut! I would love to go fishing in the ocean one of these days.
-
The easiest way to catch halibut is actually going to Alaska to fish for the pacific halibut. Those guys get huge too and theres a lot of them. If you want a challenge on medium light tackle though, the cali halibut is way more fun to target from shore. I've heard of guys catching them with spinnerbaits haha. The whole lure fishing in the ocean thing is not as developed as freshwater. Im sure there are a lot of baits from freshwater that would work, just that no one tries em.

Just adding...July 18, 2011: Early morning...I top-watered this black plastic mouse over some lilly pads...the bass wrestled it down!!! Great action!! Fun to watch!! It then wrapped the line around a lilly pad stem, so I moved the boat to it instead of trying to shake it off.

California's too broke to stock big game fish. Me and my friends ran into a fish and game officer not too long ago and we asked him if they still stocked striped bass and his answer was no. He stated that way back in the days to use to when california wasn't so broke, now the fish just travel through the delta systems which flows from and through the rivers that go into the ocean for striped bass. It's a good thing that they thrive pretty well in freash water reservoirs. Right now the limit for a striped bass is 2 per person with a size limit of 18 inches and over, but there has been in a battle in court in which they have agreed to amend the take and size limit of striped bass so expect to see a decline in the next five or so years.
But I have seen many hmong famlies take coolers and coolers of striped bass in all shapes and sizes so the new law will only encourage more of this to happen.

Heard about that too I hope it doesn't change if it does, the Striper population would die out fast in cali..as its already worse with the poaching by some people as you've said
-
If you're afraid the striper population is going to die out in cali... take matters into your own hands. Start up a sportsmen club like we did here in Wisconsin and stock game fish. Afterall in the end our great gand-children will be the one's deprived from these resources, not us.
I'm sure the fish and game dept would be willing to help with this as well. Let me know if I can help. O0

Yeah, swimbaits can get pretty pricey. Although I like throwing them, I don't go all out like others spending $100 - $200 for one bait. $50 and under is my price range. Unless if I really really want something then I probably up it to $75. Swimbaiting can be frustrating too when you see a few follower and they don't commit. That's why when I go swimbaiting, I leave everything else at home.

Tajo,
My brother and I were there at Los Vaqeros this past weekend. Our first time there. We caught two 27", two 33", and one 35". Of course, we got three free beer mugs. We had a great time there. A great place to fish. Easy to catch fish there, unlike river fishing.
ImaJine, wat kind of bait where u using?

online, faces are rather familiar in many ways because they might have gone through photoshop or something. username is just a representative of the realism in which it can be anything of anyone. for now, i only have one ph username.

yeah lots of sturgeons in columbia river it's one of the best place especially...b ut it's pretty much in past knights landing...stur geon is pretty much once a year for us too..but all levees been closed down for rebuilding so pretty much if you go buy boat your chances going to the hot spots will be better..

California's too broke to stock big game fish. Me and my friends ran into a fish and game officer not too long ago and we asked him if they still stocked striped bass and his answer was no. He stated that way back in the days to use to when california wasn't so broke, now the fish just travel through the delta systems which flows from and through the rivers that go into the ocean for striped bass. It's a good thing that they thrive pretty well in freash water reservoirs. Right now the limit for a striped bass is 2 per person with a size limit of 18 inches and over, but there has been in a battle in court in which they have agreed to amend the take and size limit of striped bass so expect to see a decline in the next five or so years.
But I have seen many hmong famlies take coolers and coolers of striped bass in all shapes and sizes so the new law will only encourage more of this to happen.
thanks for the info...it reminds me of of a pond in la crosse, wi where trout used to be stocked upon...however, in the past 3 years...NO TROUT has been stocked up anymore because of the economy...it's only a lifeless pond with algae and duck weed... >:( >:( >:(

Another note is that CA is on the side of the salmon vs. the stripers. Many people are arguing that the stripers are eating salmon smolt before they have a chance to go to sea and come back to reproduce. If you guys don't know, CA's salmon fishery is basically artificial as many salmon are stockers reintroduced into their streams. This year has seen a good number of them, but that also means more people fishing for them. The thing is though, there are more fishermen who fish for stripers and therefore put money into the system because of striped bass. In a way, it's a rift that divides the fishing community. It's all a part of the bigger picture which is that the state is now reducing water flow into the central valley because of these threatened fish, namely the salmon and delta smelt. Without water, farms are unable to grow crops, with water the pumps in the delta end up killing a whole bunch of fish and drain the natural water basin. Can anyone say lose-lose situation?

The only problem is man. All animals live in harmony that mother nature regulates with natural influences. Man came along and tries to control that, end result....... headache for us all.

true salmon smolts are the best baits if you want the biggest stripper and sturgeon ..."catch on alive, hook it on the rig, cast it out" guaranteed no more than 5 min..it'll be a good bite..at least 25in and up stripers will take the bait and sturgeons too..compare to using grass shrimp, lamprey eels, or ghost shrimp which you wait for hours if fish on the river bank..
yet that stuff is illegal...more than $500 fine per salmon smolt..

It's a leadisite. When not attached to fish, its usually found around rocks and snags. If you get bit by them, you could potentially get lead poison.

Fished another Kettle Moraine Bass Anglers (KMBA) Club evening bass tourny again on Big Elkhart Lake yesterday from 5:30pm til 8pm.. It started off with a brutal 20+mph north wind. Needless to say the first spot we targeted we got a nice keeper smallie right away drop shoting in 15fow. Second keeper smallie came on the drop shot in 18fow. Third keeper was a largemouth caught punching the weeds on a beaver tail. The rest were dinks and we missed a few at the boat as well. It was a great way to end the season.
Weighed in with 3.68lbs (biggest two fish). Winning bag was 4.70lbs (2 fish). Didn't place but it was a great feeling to put more than two legal fish in the boat. The bass fishing should get better from here on out.
Best time of the year, fall. Hunting and fishing at its best, but so little time. O0

Solid catches, were you guys fishing muskies or was it incidental?
Applebrook is it still combat fishing up there?

Honestly we knew the musky were active and plentiful in this lake but weren't really targeting any specific fish. It was the only fish we caught but made it worth waiting for.

nice catch, addison. i assume you were fishing on lake wingra? lots of muskies there and some giant bass. i've seen a few 5-6 pounders spawning while attending school in madison.

Wingra is an overlooked bass fishery and a great musky lake. I've seen some 50+ inch musky swim through there during the spring. Just amazing.
Any other good spots in Madison to fish? I've fishing the Tenny Park, the bay, UW point, and Wingra.
-
More pond fishing on my new kayak:
Caught on a 'chatterbone' which is a generic chatterbait and a fishbone swimbait for a trailer. It's a dynamite combo, the swimbaits are hand-poured by my friend here in town. They are great for salt-water bass, and the largemouth like em too!

madison is a great fishery. there are lots of big smallmouth in the isthmus area by the railroad tracks (john nolen drive) in university bay. you'll find some big muskies there too along with prespawn bass. i've seen two 6+ lbs largemouth bass pulled from there early in the season. if you're up for it, park in the uw parking ramp on lake street or by helen c white library and walk down to the waterfront and fish there. grab a nice cold beer at the union once you're done ;D
lake waubesa is a nice fishery too. try lake farm park and walk the trails to the railroad and fish off it. minnows and shad are usually present and the predatory fish comes to feed right off the bank there. that's one of my favorite spots to fish in madison. one last place to try would be governor's island. you'll be fishing lake mendoota. lots of people go there for catfish and white bass, but largemouth and smallmouth bass are plentiful there. just park and walk the trails, you'll find spots to fish. these are just some spots to check out that i can think of right now. senkos, carolina rigged lizards and tubes work well. try using flukes too. good luck, and hope that helps.

Tajo, where can I find good spots in SF?
There are alot of good spots for striper season. Pacifica pier, RV, and Ocean Beach. :D shhhh hahaha

It's a whole new set of techniques, but still really fun. I noticed the fish out here are not as active as back in the midwest (with the exception of ponds). I still want to head up to norcal to get some striper, but there's too much to put together. I'm still a bait and wait guy for stripers haha.

Nice stripers from the sure.
Tajo, have you tried the IMA Big Stik. It's almost like the pencil popper. I'm not sure if the pencil popper has a walk the dog action like the Big Stik. I bought a Big Stik awhile back but have yet to use it.

Next time I visit California, I'm definitely going striper fishing and largemouth bass fishing in the deep clear lakes!
Around spring to summer that is when stripers are biting.

I think my s/o tried it before. This is the kind of popper lure my s/o using. Every lures he orders online or buy at the stores..he removes the three hooks and put a single hook on.

Bigscale logperch, non-native to california. I only know this because it was posted on another forum I frequent, supposed to be very hardy. Looks like you could imitate it really easy with a jerkbait.

Pic from this summer that my friend just sent me, one of my two Calico Bass that day, I believe this was the bigger one and my PB. After this I found a hole in the raft and from there my luck went down while he caught 6 more...
All fish were caught on bighammer swimbaits

And this is what he just sent me the other day while I was in my finance class, damn shoulda ditched ;D

I'm currently using the new Shimano Crucial 7'11" H swimbait rod. I'm pairing up the rod with my Chronarch 201B loaded with 50lb Suffix braid. It's not the ideal swimbait reel but it holds up just fine. I don't really like bigger reels as my hands aren't bigger enough to palm. Maybe if I can find a Conquest 301 without having to dump a few Benjamins???

Tajo,
Glad to see you and your S/O reporting all these catches. Will have to catch up with you guys this coming year when the fishing picks up. Been living here over 10+ years and never tried out surf fishing. We're just South of you...
-

I agree. I had never seen Hmong people catch so many different kinds of fish before. There are those that I didn't even know existed.

Roc, Pointers 128 is good too later in the year when the water warms up.
Thanks AL.

I have a fear of fishing along aquaducts, especially the ones that along the HWY 5. Never fished there but I drive by it all the time. One slip and you're into the water. It would be extremely difficult to get out once you're in. The wet walls are full of algae and extremely slippery. Don't under estimate the cold and calm water. Be extra careful when you guys are out there.

Yes that's very true. We don't go all the way to the bottom. We slide them above the high water line (you can see in the pic) then lip them. Also if you fall in, the main thing is to stay calm, and go with the flow (don't fight it, you'll just tire yourself out) to the next bouy line or steps. There are bouy lines and steps every so often so people who falls in can get out off. If you don't know how to swim then, a long landing net is a MUST.
-
Just dont step on where the water line used to be and you should be ok. Always remember, no fish is worth dying for.

Damn it! I'm so jealous. Where in CA are you? If I'm ever in the area you better take me fishing!
Haha I live in southern california about 1.5 hours north of Los Angeles. Let me know, if I'm still here and not transferred schools yet I'd love to take you out fishing. Last night I lost a leopard shark that had to be pretty big. I went again today but the sharks were nowhere to be found. I think the high wind today affected the water temps too much.
Nice striper btw, on a flyrod too! Must have been an epic fight.

I had surf perch. To me they're more flaky and soft, much more like crappies.
-
Surf perch are pretty soft white meat fish. I like them grilled because it firms up/dries out the meat nicely. In certain species the meat is so soft that it's almost like mush.

1. Hey guys, look at what I found in a California's striper's cavity of the belly.
Could it be a pearl? I have caught so many stripers but this is the first one that gave me a surprise. Take a look.

Do you guys usually fish with a scarf around your face like that? LOL
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
It's a Seirus Innovation sunthing. It's to protect you from getting sun/wind burn, raccoon eyes, or worst skin cancer. It's UV protected and not sure on the PF. If you're out door all day in the sun, you should get one. Your skin will thank you for it........
-
hehehehe. Look kinda sexy in a way, I guess. :D How about sunscreen UV protection lotion? I want to see who I'm fishing next to. ;)
Sunscreens are great but this is much easier and faster. Also you don't have to deal with all that gooy stuff and getting the scent onto your bait.

lets see if this works.

This one was actually larger but the wide angle lens makes it look smaller. It hit like a train and took drag like no other. The best way to fish cheap Senko knock-offs is whacky rig:

Yeah, Addison. It's a 27.5" steelhead.
-
Do you guys ever catch and release? I know it's not common in the hmong. ;D
I do it if it's not legal size yet.
-
The person holding the fish? Is that your wife?
IDK. I thought this thread was just Q's/A's on fishes, no?
-
well, you posted up the pix.
You know, ST, that fish was a big drag...took so long to get it out to the net. I had to go into the water to bend down to reach it with the net. I'm glad I got a pretty nice pole this year.
Have you ever fished steelheads before?

Those are huge, Roc!
-
All spawned out though. They have some big heads but they're all skinny. Give em a month until the bluegill spawn, then they'll be nice and fat.
-
Roc, where you fishing? Looks like a resident and friend only lake?
-
It does look like san diego doesn't it? It's in my hometown. All those little palm trees and stuff. It's actually near the beach, supposed to be resident only but we're allowed to fish this side of the lake. Artificials only, barbless hooks, Catch and Release. There are monsters in there, look to be all Florida strain bass.
-
It's actually a few miles out, near Goleta beach if you remember going there. No there's no pond by our place.
-
Hey Roc,
Do you stage the lure on the fishes' mouth like they do for magazine pictures too? Or these just happened like that.
-
These just happened, my buddy had his cam on him and we wanted the fish back in asap. The only time that I've tried for the baits to look presentable is when I'm fishing lures for luremakers and they request a shot with the lure in the mouth. These are both just cheapie lures from Sports Authority.
-
Those are great photo shots. O0
-
Roc, where are those places that you fish?
Aren't you scared of monster fish? :2funny:
Yeah. This one came out looking like a snake, too. Real scary.

Those tempura flour premade package that they used to fry those shrimps. Just get it from the asian store.
OK. Thanks. I'll go look around for them and try them out.

Should've been more specific, So Cal. We have some but not as much as I would like to see (like in every lake ;D). That 8-7 is the same fish in the previous page with the pot belly. Caugth on a 8" Hudd. I went out this morning again and got 3 bumps but none stuck. Probably smaller bass??? That's what I always say when I don't hook up. :2funny:
-
8lb 7 oz, that's no joke man. What's your PB anyway? I gotta start swimbaiting it. We just had our last trout plant at my local lake, I wonder if there are still any momma bass hanging around for a quick trout meal. Also thinking about hitting Castaic or Pyramid for some stripers.

i no, you almost needed to havr at least 15-30 lbs test spiderwire. With an 8-10lbs dia. Is it still um limited down there?(iowa). Or did they cap it to a limit.i've never went to fish there. Cost too much $$$$

That's cool man. I'll have to do that. Go Pro? What software to you use for editting?
Lots of fun, especially for anyone into the outdoors as much as you are. In this specific clip I'm using the new GoPro Hero2 and iMovie editting software that came with the Apple. Windows Movie Maker works just as well for our purposes. If you want to get more advance editting software down the line, Adode Premier is the way to go. That's what majority of sports shows use on the Sportsmen/Outdoor Channels.
Hope this helps. Looking forward to your YT channel bro. Create a YT acct and subscribe to me, I'll subscribe (sub) back. You don't have to upload a video right away.
Let me know if you got questions. O0

1luv that's a toad of a smallmouth. I can see why it hit that jig, they love stuff like that. You'd catch even more if you put on a curly tail grub or a minnow but I understand you're fishing for shad.

It has to do with the water.
River smallies are much darker than lake/pond smallies b/c lake/pond smallies live around sand/gravel and are a bit pail, yellow-ish brown. Northern States have dark water lakes because its rich with rocks and iron so the fish are a bit darker. Just compare the Boundary Water and Canada smallies to further south's.
-
Don't forget that fish can change their color and pattern. Have you ever compared a shallow water largemouth with a deeper water one? The one in the shallows is a lot darker and the deep ones are lighter. If you take a deep fish and put in the shallow water, it only takes a few minutes before the fish changes to dark.
-
Oh, I see. Didn't know that. Thanks.

wouldn't that fall under stress. I use to raise fish in a tank, when you move the fish out N into another tank..the temp, water, you know what i mean. All those chem.you put in the fish tank..
Anyways the fish gets stress out..so the color changes.

If they're changing color within the hours, it's stress. The two smallies a page back is b/c of location.

Stress? I don't think so. We are talking about colors that change permanently, right? Not just something that changes for just a few hours and back. If it's stress, by the time you have pulled the fish out onto shores, the colors would be natural again?
-
I remember Bill Dance talking about it. It's like active camo. Predatory fishes can change their color to blend in with the surrounding better. The two fish are different because of the environment they came from. The light color smallie may have come from milkier water. Like basside said the darker smallie may have come from dark mineral rich water. I've seen the St. Croix and it's wayyyy darker than our rivers. Your guys' lakes often have a red or brown tinge whereas ours have a blue/green one.
-
Example lake Minnetoka, i fish there for eyes. Well the water is very green, when i catch eyes there. They are very green conpare to the river were the eyes are a lot more yellow ish.. so tat part is true.but if you put a fish in another body part of water the fish can become strees out due to it's water dentsity.

does the great lakes go all the way to the ocean?

I've always wanted to go salmon fishing... :'( :'(
If you're ever in Sheboygan, WI let me know O0
does the great lakes go all the way to the ocean?
The great lakes is connect to the Atlantic Ocean through the St. Lawrence Seaway, but salmon are not native to the great lakes. It was actually a collaboration of all the states and Canada to release Pacfici strain salmon into the great lakes around the 1950s to control the alewife/shad population that was rapidly growing.
Interesting fact isn't it? O0

That bass is HUGE! What's it eating? ???
Im in Santa Ana, CA. I lived in Hanford, CA for 2 years (HS 10-11.5 grade). I think you're from around there (Visalia/Fresno) since I saw a post from you about Three Rivers. It's the weekend and I like to get out before everyone spook the fish. That's the best time to fish these big bait.
The lake I caught it from is full of food for them to eat. There are shad, bluegill/redear/crappie, crawfish/dad, smaller bass, duckling, and stocked trout. Now if you're referring to the bait that I was using?: it's an 8" Huddleston swimbait. Awesome and livelike in a ROF (rate of fall) 5 (slow sink) trout pattern. Check out some of the vids on Youtube on it. Freakin Donkeys caught on them.

I've got them both ways. But majority of them have been on the slow roll. My buddy got a 15#er :o while waking. Good luck and don't be discourage of not getting many bites. Keep on throwing, you'll stick'em......

Thanks, yea if I end up liking them I may get a rig for it. Lake Casitas is like a 45min drive from my place so it may be time to hunt some DD bass.
-
My buddy and I have been tearing up the bass this past month. The bite has finally slowed down somewhat, most of the bigger fish have moved out of the area. Had two trips that were just mayhem, we each got 5 fish limits in like 2-3 hours of fishing. Lots of topwater action too. Here are some of his pics, I decided not to photo mine:

Nice fish guys! You guys have some pretty lakes with great scenery. Ours are just flat, if we're lucky some small hills and steel slopes.

i'm guessing this is at cachuma? i've been there but that was several years back.

Yup. It was a good spring bite. The action has slowed down now though, it's time to find the crappie.

Catch and release only, right, Addison? Or is bass season already started in WI?

Nice fishes..... Was that bed shot before you caught her. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Reporter - CPR only. I don't keep bass, only whitebass. lol.
fish4keep - Actually I tried to catch the ones in the bed pic but they didn't want anything to do with my senko. Didn't have much time so moved onto the next bed. lol. That was actually the closest bed to shore with active fish in it. The spawn is just starting here.

How many ft of water was tat..way too shallow to be trolling there, wouldn't you think?.

I've seen bass come real close to the edges of many lakes, so close I have to hide behind some shrubs to cast over to them.
-
IDK how to cook Lunkers, other then smoke 'em over a fire. So I do catch N release. Last yr me and my buddies went on my boat N I think we killed that lake. My gosh it was like Whyte bass. Every cast was a big 2-3lb lunker, then the following week, we didn't catch any. So the next following week we caught a few but I told my buddies to catch N release. otherwise there won't be any more for us to catch for fun.

Nothing wrong with that, it's legal. O0

Gotta stop with the big-small we take 'em all.lol otherwise no more fish in that lake.

probably the tastiest part of the fish.

Despite what some fishermen say, bed fish are damn hard to catch. Maybe its just me but they dont want anything, worms, senkos, jigs, spinners...non e. Maybe next time I throw a big swimbait and hope the big girls hit for coming too close.

So true. Some people make it sound easy, toss over creature bait, shake it around, bass gets mad, they bite. Yeah right, it never works that way for me. I've only ever had 1 bedding bass take my senko and it was still able to spit it even though I set the hook.

My first swimbait bass, caught on a Storm Kickin Minnow, a great cheap lure!

Mine's a pike. Pikes have horizontal white spots on the side. Muskies look like this guy's. Muskie stripes are vertical if the fish swims in its normal position.

Nice man, what setup are you using to throw the lunker punker? It seems to be an awesome big bass bait.
Maybe you could help me plan out a big bass tactic for my pond bro. It's a neighborhood pond, water is clear to semi-clear. Lots of hydrilla-like weedbeds, possible structure also (we know of 1 rockpile). I've been wanting to throw big baits in here but the weeds are now grown up so much that topwater is almost useless. The only solution I can think of now is either using a big frog (like the spro king frog) or a big tube bait rigged texas. Help me bro, an 18lb bass was caught out of this same pond this year! My fishin buddy saw the pic. I wanna break DD this year!
Oh and sucks about the punker. Those guys are expensive!

Although the Punker do catch big fish, it also catches little fish like this one I caught this morning. :idiot2: :2funny:
(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh196/wmvang/centennialbaby.jpg)
Unless I'm getting weed on every cast or every other cast, I'll still throw the topwater (punker, shellcracker, wake jr) along the weed edge or even in the middle. These bigger bait will call up fish from the deep especially if the water is clear. But by the pics you have been putting up, you seem to be doing good at that lake/pond. The only thing I could think of is up the size of your bait, use flouro (which you probably already do), and low light condition (but my friend have been proving this wrong by catching punker fish in the middle of the day when the sun is high in the sky).
My current sb setup is a Shimano Crucial swimbait rod with a Chronarch 201B loaded with 65# Sufix 832 with 25-30# mono/flouro topshot. Its not an ideal sb reel but it does the job. The gears do take a toll with the big bait. Im looking for a Curado 301 but not in a rush.

Thanks for the info man, I remember when you told me you quit hali fishing for bass and I was like wtf? But we spent a day out in the surf for nothing and I was thinking, "shoulda just hit the pond" LOL. Hey thanks for the gear tip, I was under the assumption that all big bait guys threw 400 sized reels. I'm using a Cardiff 200A on a Berkley Series 1 MH rod but I think I'm gonna buy a left hand reel to try it out. It doesn't feel right when I try topwater and my bait moves sloppy. When I use spinning gear I do perfectly fine though.
Yea I'll try upping the bait size. We were there a few days ago and nailed some cookie cutter 3-4lb fish, all on topwater. My buddy was throwing a Samy clone and I was tossing a mouse which I added a buzzing prop to. They couldn't resist the mouse! I guess I need to look around for bigger frogs now. Keep me informed if you find deals on big baits, I wanna start targeting the big fish specifically. I've had enough fish in the 3-5lb range.

Shoot last week I went to my Bass hot spot. Guess what I saw that day..
There was a huge azz KOI under the fallen branches. I thought that I'm was seeing stuff. Freak me out. It started to swim to my boat. I thought it was a Zaj..change to a koi.. I told myself O boy what if it swam up to my baot and started talking to me.. What the hell am I gonna do.. My bro was casting on the KOI and I told him to stop. Hell I'm very superstitious when it come to stuff like that..
That's why I don't let my bro(s) throw rock into the lake, rivers, etc..
-
Shoot last week I went to my Bass hot spot. Guess what I saw that day..
There was a huge azz KOI under the fallen branches. I thought that I'm was seeing stuff. Freak me out. It started to swim to my boat. I thought it was a Zaj..change to a koi.. I told myself O boy what if it swam up to my baot and started talking to me.. What the hell am I gonna do.. My bro was casting on the KOI and I told him to stop. Hell I'm very superstitious when it come to stuff like that..
That's why I don't let my bro(s) throw rock into the lake, rivers, etc..
Lol dont worry, zaj is never gonna come when you expect it. It's when you're not paying attention that they're gonna get ya. Be afraid saki saki, be very afraid. Tell everyone you know to stop fishing, fish is not worth becoming a dragon's hubby or wifey. :D

thanks guys, we have striper fever in oklahoma right now. :)
also have a video uploading now, but mostly white bass, was too occupy to get footage of striper top water action.
-
918 are you fishing at Keystone? Thats where my cousin took me last time I visited Tulsa but we didnt get anything even though they said it was biting very good the days before.

Are those monkey face eel? I always wanted to try poke poling for them but looks too scary to try to take off the hook. How they taste? And don't say like chicken. ;D
-
Yup we poke poled these guys. It's crazy fun, pretty much never skunk. They aren't as creepy as true eels like morey eels. Just like long fish. Tastes very similar to catfish IMO.
-
Is that a rock fish next to the eels, heard they have a white delicate meat. Not to fond of eels and yes they do very much taste like catfish but without the dirty muddy stank. We hooked into quite a bunch of those fish off the pier on bodega bay up north one time, but never really cooked any, j/c what they taste like.

Yup rockfish is like any white meat fish. So far the best way that we've had the eel was when my dad cooked it with tomato and hmong herbs.

If you live near any Laos community have them make the watery larb out of that eel for you it's the bom, just not sure what they call it, but very similar to larb just very mushy goodness..Next time we'll have to take a few of the rock fish for consumption..

I have never fly-fished before. So, yes, it's going to be my first.
I heard it's a high-class kind of thing and that its lots of fun. Mostly trout fishing, right? Does it work with white bass and other fishes?

Well it's glorified a lot, not sure if I'd call it higher class. You can catch anything that is in relatively shallow water. As in any fish within 20-30ft of water, most times within the top 10ft. I'm sure you can catch whitebass, crappie, etc etc on fly. We've caught California Halibut from the ocean on fly rods.

Huh?
those photos u took of eel. i was tinking bout malic MN. i hear ppl catch those eel pout up there. of course i don't fish tat lake.

Probably my nephew since he's on fb? It was hot down there. I'm not much of a fish eater so I only took two to deep fried. My mom made some fish larb with it. I tasted some yesterday and it was pretty good. I'm good fishing for them til next yr. LOL......
-
All quiet about the location of the tilapias, must be SALTON SEA then. ;D ;D ;D
-
Not like there's anywhere else to catch them lol. Actually, they say the canals on the south side have larger tilapia and catfish too.
-
If I was to be down there, I rather be offshore chasing yellow tails or something.

It's a hit or miss on the yt. I haven't been offshore for so long. But earlier this month, I did go out for halibut off the surf/jetty. My buddy got a 33"er and I got one which I fillet for another buddy.

nice catch but we asian people do not fillet. We eat everything. We take the head and make soup out of it.
-
:D I fillet halibut too, at the very least I fillet the top and leave the bottom with the bones for my dad. Too much meat on them just to steak it.

Usually true. My family is not much of a fish eater so I fillet them whenever we do eat fish.

The first time I fished for leo I didn't know the difference between m/f. But I did know the size limit. We brought one home. It turned out to be a preggo female and we got these.

Too bad we didn't have any saltwater and they all died 15-20 mins later.

did u try to eat it?
-
did u try to eat it?
Yeah, we tried to eat the mom but didn't taste good. I later found out that shark secrete urine through their skin when they're dying. She was on the sand for an hr or two before we took it home. When we got home, she was still moving. Maybe we just didn't know how to cook it? We just steak and deep fried it. After that we just release them.
-
Yeah sharks have to be bled immediately. Not just killed but bled, you cut them in the gills and string them up by the tail. The blood carries urea which has ammonia in it. You want as much to drain out as possible, then set the shark somewhere cool. The only way I really like it though is cut into finger size portions and fried with a batter for fish tacos or fish n chips.

Hmmm maybe you need to look up for a recipe on how to cook shark. Dam I would like to try shark one day. Maybe when I visit my 1st cuz in Cali, I can ask him to take me out to the Ocean to fish... LOL :) that is when I jump onto a plane and not be soooo scary cats from fear of heights.

Out of season and illegal to catch inside the bay, them baby dungeonous crabs are everywhere. A big cooler just half an hour in for the poachers..
You get 20 in your crab net for every haul. Babies are about half the sizes that you normally get them at your local asian stores.
With that supermoon being out, they are everywhere.

not many reds or rock crabs. Must be spawning season for them white crabs or something.
bring a burner and cook and eat your illegal on the spot for the win. Add water, powder spices and critters over a fire and you're done. Bring cup of noodles as a staples. Fun times.

Whoa fish4keep those bluegills are huge. I bet they taste great deep fried.
-
Those are some nice size bluegills. In California, people here fish all the big gun out. A lot of small size. But when I was fishing for them. I use artificial lure and I see them big gun chasing it. The big gun seem to not like live bait, only the smaller one does. Maybe I make a one trip there to my secret spot... ;D There tons of bluegills, but a lot of asian fish there, no hmong folk's... I think hmong folk's don't even like bluegills haha...
We use to fish for bluegills in this one creek near our old place. We use to catch them over 12 inches long. But it was only a short period of time. Don't know where they all gone to, ever since no more big one. If you use maggot, forgot the real name but they do look like maggot..., bluegills love it.
-

I think you're talking about wax worm. I heard they are good but I prefer crickets because I don't like to touch wax worm/maggot. Also the crickets I get are from my backyard. O0

Fantastic shots Roc.

Thanks gnam, it was a summer to remember. I caught a whole lot of new species.
-
Roc, you didn't go for barn doors? Looks like an awesome time but dang is that mosquito net?
-
Yep mosquitos like crazy, the poncho is not for rain, it's to protect from blood suckers! The most bites I had on me at one time was like 13-14 bites, these things are ravenous.
Nope no barndoors this year, not enough money for a charter and my uncle's boat was in the shop. It's cool though since I prefer to do my own thing. Fishing for flounders, pollock and cod from shore was pretty awesome though.
-
wow awesome fishing. make me jelly
