Last weekend was one of those trips where success was far from guaranteed, but the stars were aligned and everything ended up falling into place. Garren King and I drove south to the Barkley Dam in Kentucky, which is on the Cumberland River just upstream from the Ohio River. White Bass (Morone chrysops). It measu...

Bass on the Golf Course. Tales of a Suburban Kid, on the water and Waving a Stick. New Jersey Freshwater Fishes. Pennsylvania Freshwater Fish Species. Monday, June 29, 2015. An Informative and Disappointing Outing. This year, I've been exploring a ton of new spots around my area, and today was not an exeception. One of my friend's dad had informed me about a potential great bass spot, where he and my friend caught some big largemouths. I thought, why not. I decided to head to a bridge, a couple hundred y...

Bass on the Golf Course. Tales of a Suburban Kid, on the water and Waving a Stick. New Jersey Freshwater Fishes. Pennsylvania Freshwater Fish Species. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Bass on the Fly (On the Golf Course). On the way there, I came across an interesting phenomenon: A line of dead plants advancing on fresh, green ones. Everything on the dead side was completely dead, while the other side had the very opposite. Odd. perhaps a disease? Almost immediately a big bluegill inhaled my fly. I have no ...

Fishing for buffalo, catching carp. Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio). We did see other people catch a few smallmouth buffalo - small ones about 14 inches. It was encouraging to at least see one of our targets, even if we didn't catch them ourselves. Saturday, March 7, 2015. Lake Whitefish from Sturgeon Bay, WI. Before long I hooked up with my...

MuskieBait Adventures: July 2014
http://muskiebaitadventures.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Stories of My Firsts. PA and NJ 2014. July 20, 2014. Hunting lifers with a kindred spirit. Passion has a strange way to connect people. After a few enlightening emails, we found a good weekend to meet. The goal was to help George add a few micro species. During the car ride, George told me tales of fishing in Vanuatu, Manzatlan and Thailand, and my eyes feasted upon albums containing species which some I've never seen! It was simply astonishing! Immediately, the darter appeared very different from a John...

Bass on the Golf Course. Tales of a Suburban Kid, on the water and Waving a Stick. New Jersey Freshwater Fishes. Pennsylvania Freshwater Fish Species. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Stocked trout are pretty dumb. But after a lot of pressure from anglers, they can get wary. And to get skunked every time. It took about 5 minutes with the Powerbait. Also my first trout in NJ, and I live here. I've caught trout in Washington, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee, but none in my home state). This fish went right on my strin...

Bass on the Golf Course. Tales of a Suburban Kid, on the water and Waving a Stick. New Jersey Freshwater Fishes. Pennsylvania Freshwater Fish Species. Saturday, March 14, 2015. With the local water levels insanely high (my backyard creek is suitable for chocolate-milk white water rafting), I had some time to paint and fix up a few old lures. Most of the lures I do are old and in need of repair. I actually never paint new ones. Temperatures are on the rise fast now, and all I have to do is wait for the wa...

MuskieBait Adventures: August 2015
http://muskiebaitadventures.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Stories of My Firsts. PA and NJ 2014. August 3, 2015. Muskies on a beach toy. My friends and I planned a weekend trip to fish for muskies. They had never caught a Muskellunge before, but I had a great little known location where they have a good chance of landing their first muskies. The fishing wasn't as fast and furious as I had hoped, but we still had the mission accomplished easily on Day 1. We'll just inflate it with our lung capacity. On the third cast. Man, we were so stoked! We kept fishing down ...
