The weather was nice but pretty hot so I headed out late afternoon for a couple hours

Decided to do some #Flippn this evening for a few hours and found out the #Pike liked my black #FlippnJigs and #TexasRigs so I retied different colors back on and caught a few #Largemouth #Bass but with the water in the mid 80 I bailed before dark.

Lets spread this around as much as possible the more people that are educated on the Invasive Carp the more chances of people seeing them and getting them reported.

Had a Bearing problem on the road and my Son in Law helped get me home

A little TLC for the boat trailer before I headed out for a bit of #Flippn and #SwimJig time. Save yourself some trouble on the road get the bearings checked and changed regularly. Tight Lines 🎣

Sunday afternoon at Another Collins Bay Dock

First there was a little fishing then a nice play for the kids at the playground, they were happy catching a few Perch and small Largemouth Bass, Etty liked throwing the fish back in the water.

Went out twice on Saturday, Collins Bay dock and Kingston Mills

Headed to Kingston Friday afternoon and had Theona and Etty out fishing for a while on Saturday and Theona again Saturday night caught some small #Panfish #Crappie #Sunfish #Perch and a couple very small #Largemouth at Kingston Mills. There were lots of people around but not very much being caught, the weather was beautiful and not very many bugs around, we bumped into Joe's neighbor when we got there.

After an exciting start to the day with a Grass Carp it was Pike, Sheephead and Smallmouth to finish it off

There were a few #Smallmouth caught before this #Pike #Esox before trading out fishing partners, Bonnie headed for home and Cody jumped in the boat for an evening to fish, there were some small #Bass around and the #Sheephead started to move in, we we're hoping for a couple #Walleye but either they weren't around or just not hungry, we had a bunch of good fighting fish on to keep us busy until about 10:00 pm and we decided to head home, hopefully things change up and we can get a few targeted species next time.

What a way to start the day 4 Seagulls picking away at this

Only one person to call when you find one of these. The DFO came to pick it up, it's the biggest fish ever in one of my boats, any guess on the weight. About 56" 

We saw 4 Seagulls picking away at something a couple hundred feet away so we went to take a look, what a surprise and it was still alive.

15 minutes from home 3 hours fishing from 5 to 8pm not bad

 Another Awesome evening on the lake, I was targeting #Smallmouth and #Largemouth #Bass and Bonnie was targeting #Panfish #Crappie #Perch #Pumpkinseed #Rockbass and anything else that would hit her smaller Jigs and Plastic baits, she did switch over to a #Swimbait long enough to catch a #Pike. It rained a little bit as we were getting ready to go but after getting to the lake it cleared up and made for a Great night #Fishing

How to Knot a Fluorocarbon Leader for Pike Fishing | Expert Tips

Came across this today and it looks like it should be easy enough to tie, does anyone already use this, I think I'll try it to tie direct to my swimbaits as I don't like to use a snap when I'm throwing them.
