2 hours of sight fishing for carp today

been getting to many of these things lately.

Here is a nice 20in white sucker from thrusday.

'tis a silver redhorse. the tail is a dead give away. nice fish!

from top to bottom:

shorthead redhorse

silver redhorse

white sucker

golden redhorse



not the greatest comparison pic, but it'll do

Thanks for the id roughfish29. Now I got another species to add to the life list.

the scales tell you its not a white. the dorsal fin tells you its a silver. its a convex dorsal fin.



nice fish

crazy thing happened today. i was out on the lake. Lake Darling to be exact. and i caught a shorthead redhorse! first shorthead redhorse i have seen in the chain!

its a little guy, but still a shorthead! what was crazy, is that he was alot taller than the shortheads i get in rivers, which are more torpedo shaped. kinda cool to see how where fish live effect what they look like

got out yesterday in the heat to do a little sight fishing of carp. man they fight hard in the current

Heck, they fight hard even without current. Nice work! That's a great picture.

nice fish goblue! must have been crazy on the fly rod

i got this guy today. nothing is more exciting than sight fishing schools of surface feeding carp!



show me a happy face

went fishing with a friend a couple weeks ago to help him get his first LEGAL (non snagged carp). i wasnt gonna even put a line in the water until he got there, but.... couldnt pass up this one when i saw it.

damians first carp



4th of july bowfin. caused quite a stir and people were watching my fight her, instead of watching the fireworks. lol


the next day, caught on panfish tackle, and 2lb line. quite fun

i like the look of that area! ur gonna have to take me there whenever i get down there.

i went back to that spot today. the water level was up and the fishing was slow. a couple cats, a couple smallies, way to many drum. i'm really not liking all the rain we're getting

You should have added a pic of the water going over the dam.

this little guy is gonna get me a big cat tomorrow

i am good friends with a bowfisherman, who gave me a hot lead to a lake FULL of smallmouth buffs, and shortnose gar. so sometime this week, there will be a whole day of chasing after 2 brand new species for me!

Dan Rodewald (DrRodey) and his first bowfin from last night!

i hooked into 2 bowfin last night. the first one was a monster! but it tangled in the anchor rope, and we couldnt get the net under it with all its splashing around, and it pulled off! the other one just through the hook.. i was horsing them in quite a bit because i was using my heavy rod so that was probably the main reason. we were float fishing with cut bait.

but we wasted a whole bunch of time fishing for snappers before the bowfin bite.

i saw the first one and wanted to catch it, and his was the only one set up with a heavy bobber and a big hook. and it broke his rod... oops!


so after that dan wanted to catch his first snapper. and we were having them come up all around us, then dive back down. like they were trying to ambush us. lol. it wasnt working too well because they were leaving a huge trail of bubbles from the bottom.
number 2! feisty thing..


i also caught one while fishing for bowfin. (was actually the one dan was going for lol)
no picture because it was bleeding a bit from the hook wound

that's a sweet doggie
