Snake ID?

I will go with the recently molted water snake. Non venomous, but can have a nasty attitude.

Hit the bed again

Nice catch

Unless it is a small body of water with heavy fishing pressure it is unlikely that the population of bluegill will be affected by fishing beds. Actually it is probably more common tofind over populated, stunted bream than the reverse.

On fire

My swimming back to shore has only involved sunken boats.

Boat ramp

I think this guy may need a little help

I have been around enough boat ramps to not be surprised.
I once watched a bunch of drunks trying to get a large twin outboard out of the water. The head drunk firewalled both engines as the driver of the vehicle floor boarded the accelerator. As the whole mess shot up the ramp the boat driving
drunk went ass over teakettle back to the stern as truck and boat went barreling the length of the parking lot with both outboards running wide open.
Fortunately. People in the parking lot had sense enough to run like Hell.
I don’T know if the engines survived or not.

Best pond ever

Good day on the best pond I have ever fished yesterday! Didn’t weigh them but the biggest I’m guessing between 7 and 8. Rattle Trap and Chatter Bait were on the money. Caught 20 to 25 in 2 hours.

WOW!

Tie at home with lots of light and a magnifying set up with light and good background. Can take a bait board of whatever color needed in field or boat for contrast to see the line

Great idea. I lost the vision of one eye and the other was badly damaged when I confused a zig with a zag in Vietnam. Normally no Problem,except when I use microscopic flies with invisible leaders. The contrasting board should be a great help. I also carry a pair of magnifying eyeglasses.
Having experienced a teaching moment, should I be invited to another war I will avoid land mines.

Panfish attic.

Doesnt seem to matter, just need a large number of... (show quote)

At the time the electroshock was done, all the recovered bass were removed It was recommended we remove all bass caught for the next year and no Bream. Also added were a number of grass carp to reduce algie/weed problems. Also what looked like a small mountain of lime was added to adjust PH.
The program seems to have worked, as over the past couple of years I have caught several bass in the 7-10 pound range and numbers of quite large bream. On occasion the dorsal fin and tail of large carp can be observed. Supposedly the carp do not reproduce.

A few years ago I had a fisheries outfit electroshock and check the PH etc. of a pond on my property. The pond is about 12 acres and 65 years old. Ultimately there turned out to be an excess of skinny bass and high PH.
I added some thousands of “Coppernose Bluegill “. I gather their a number of varieties and hybrid “bream”.

Despose of Fishing Line Properly

A number of years ago I was fishing a small stream somewhere in Tennessee. I heard a sound from a short distance uphill. I found a large hawk unable to fly because he was wrapped by his most recent prey, a largish black snake.
The hawks talons had penetrated the (deceased) snake and were firmly locked in place.
Unsure how the hawk would react to a Samaritan I very cautiously untangled the snake and withdrew the talons.
The hawk stood and walked unsteadily for a couple of minutes, then flew up and perched in a tree

Best bass colors in Atlanta area

I lived in the Atlanta area a number of years. Found best color varied by,clarity, depth.temperature,and acidity of the water. Also Air temperature, moon phase, brand of beer I was drinking, wind direction and velocity, my horoscope, air quality index, and a few other variables. Once I got it all worked out I moved to another state.
