Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The fish are biting again

Not to detract from the Corona doom and gloom but I thought I’d offer maybe a little ray of sunshine in my annual springtime PSA.

We didn’t have much of a winter and we’ve been seeing high 70’s and low 80’s here for the last couple weeks. Water temps are creeping up and the fish are starting to get more active. We’ve been out a few times and caught fish most trips, one evening last week we caught almost 30 bass. Get your rods dusted off and your reels spooled up guys, as my old Dr buddy used to tell me, “sunshine is an amazing medicine”.




Rained like a mofo for the last few days and the creek is up. We got some worms and invited some channel cats to a fish fry yesterday evening.


Have fun, stay safe, and take your kids, grandkids, or neighbor kids fishing this spring, it’s good for them and us.

Good stuff!

Looks like the Midwest... fun day!

SW Oklahoma Spotshooter. Nother month and it’ll get going really good, spring before last we caught and released 13 bass over 6 pounds out of our two bass ponds.

We also have a flood control lake we own that is amazing for big old hubcap size crappie come April or thereabouts. You can bet we’ll be dragging the boat up there pretty soon.

Of course the lake and the creek are public and literally 3 to 5 minutes from the house with a near endless supply of blues, some even over 75lbs.

It’s a good place to be for a guy who likes to fish.

You got it Kid !

We're still a little colder than you, though !

Figure the weekends, are best spent away from crowds.

Oh I’d trade you cats or crappie 2lb to your 1 for walleye! If I get my ducks in a row and get a new outboard here soon we’ll get in the walleye/Saugeye trolling in the late spring. Outstanding eating fish, one of my buddies calls them “ meat tubes”!

We had an early supper and hit the creek by 5:30 this evening. Managed to hang a couple blues using a belly off a little channel cat we cleaned last night as bait. Usual routine, keep the little ones and turn the bigger ones back to make more little ones.

It was sloppy mess and the creek was out of it’s banks when we got there but dropping pretty quick. Water went down about a foot in the 2 1/2 hours we were there.

And of course all the boy’s clothes had to get the hose one the porch after we got done cleaning fish. He even filled one rubber boot with that chocolate pudding mud. Good times for a 4 year old.

Great pictures, all! A nice change of pace from the current “normal”.

Really good! Thanks.

I like fishing pictures . . .

I LOVE fishing pictures when the family is fishing!!!!

That’s a nice looking mudhole!

I got lots of time off apparently. Need to take the boys out and hit a pond or two myself.

Stay healthy!

Awesome thread, Kid. Nice pics.

Nothing like an outing on the water (or the ice) and a feed of fresh fish to put everything back in the right perspective. And sharing with the kids makes it even better.👍

Dang, I like everything about this thread!
Fishing with youngun's is some great times.

Bewty Mate !!

Love the boy, being a boy !!

Yes, thank you so much!

I'll pile on, great folks.

Awesome!

Great thread! Been fishing a bit myself for Crappie before the rains and catfish after the lake went up, did well on both. Kept the Grandkids busy and mostly off their phones.
