Fishing for Bass in Ponds / Small Lakes
We have a pond where we raise catfish. They are fed each morning by my throwing a bucket of floating food from the end of the dock. I don’t feel I have a particularly heavy footfall but when I get within 60 yards or so of the pond edge, approaching from a point not visible below the edge of the... -
I wonder if all the time I spent cooking in the summer sun trying to catch a fish was actually worth it.
It is a surgical method for skin cancer, often conducted on the face or other areas that are visible, where the removed tissue is examined while the patient is there to assure all layers of flesh containing cancer cells are removed. More cuts are done until the deepest layer shows no cancer... -
Catfish filleting question
I skin them with skinning pliers then fillet. There isn’t much blood in the fillets, or at least it doesn’t seem so. my wife also likes unfishy tasting fish. I soak my catfish overnight in a brine made with kosher salt and a little sugar. Sometimes I add soy sauce. Most of ours we eat... -
Fishing is such a peaceful pastime........
I keep forgetting I’ve looked at this thread and click on it every time I scroll by. -
Crappie on Lanier?
My pond (about 3 acres) is shallow and heats fast in the spring. It has crappie in it, though I have wished at most times it did not. For some reason this year, perhaps because of our thinning out all we could in previous years, they are of a decent size, have been able to fillet most of what I... -
Bullhead Fishing: Gut Hanging Out Its Butt
I think that’s poop, but I’m no expert. -
Best rod and reel?
Hit yard sales, you can often find hardly used nice tackle for next to nothing. Have picked up most of my nicer rods and reels this way for far less than the cheap stuff at retailers. Best deals come when dealing with an ex wife. -
What are the bass biting right now?
I just about exclusively fish the storm wild eyed swim shad, anymore. Though I sometimes cast into trees, as @Bear44 says, the water seems to produce many more fish. -
Found a otter while fishing a flooded slice pipe!!!
Dang things will empty your pond of fish. Not a fan. -
My first 3 pound largemouth bass
Congratulations, welcome to the ODT. -
Camp and trout fish
Haven't done this in a long time but I would think the area included in and around the Cohutta wilderness area might be one of your best bets. Ga has about 4000 miles of trout streams, link to map below... -
Rock Creek - someone killed all the fish
Won't do anything to remedy what has happened but I believe going forward I would install a flow alarm of some sort connected to someone's cell phone, and increase security in the valve control area. -
Anyone here own a Drift boat?
Looks like a lot of fun potential there. -
Ever been hooked when fishing?(video)
One think he did but did not point out, keep downward pressure on the eye of the hook as you pop it, this pushes the barb back through much the same hole it came in through instead of tearing flesh. Have used this technique to get one out of my forearm. Did not put it there on purpose, this guy... -
Is this one of you?
The two I lost wasn't fishing, they just died and washed up on the shore. The only one I ever hooked I threw a broken back Rapala almost on top of it, probably just hit it as a defensive move. Broke off in short order. When I mow they used to line up along the bank to eat the clippings between...
