Great set up both boat and the truck. Looks like you and your son had some fine fish fighting opportunities with those carp. The weather looks nice too. Just can't beat an old nightcrawler for fishn'. A guy can catch anything on one. I'm glad you got out and enjoyed the day, good to see the smiles in your pics. Thanks for sharing. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Went with my good friend this morning to pick up his 19 footer from winter storage and then headed out to the lake this afternoon. And when I got to the launch boats were racing to come in and load up to leave. They must have got my message about being so many boats on the lake when I showed up this past Monday!!!! 🤪🤪 .
It may have been the storm and pouring rain , that's always a possibility??? 🙄🙄. So after the bunch of hurried boaters got done loading I put in and started off to my spot I wanted . Today I had it all to myself . Couple boats left but they were Crappie fishn'. I started out with my new Booyah pointed nose frog in the gray color and the first fish of the day was a tad over 3# and the second was a solid 2.5# , finished the day off with a Booyah jr. Popper frog on my med heavy rod and got a few more right before dark thirty. 6 for the day in the rain . It quit raining around 7 something pm. Planning an all dayer tomorrow not sure where possibly Pymatuning and Edinboro Lakes. Will have to see what the weather brings!!!🤔🤔🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Nice looking fish Andy, looks like a productive morning , fishn' ,lunch and maybe more fishn'. That's life in a nutshell!!! Shout-out to J in Cleveland for going the extra mile to help someone out. That's why we love ya my friend!! Look forward to seeing you at the M&G!
Andy I'm not a Tide fisherman but I do understand how water level and color will move fish as locations either fill or drain. Even from a heavy rain. Fish are lazy they won't spend much time just swimming around for fun , it's all about the safety and food . Thanks for sharing 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Welcome Pgs; this is a great stage with some of the best , helpful and supportive guys and gals. A fair bit of humor to go around too. Look forward to some pics of your catches. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Looks like a great time fishing. Lot's of heavy fish. Your fishing pole doesn't look like a heavy rod so you must have had a blast reeling them in. Thanks for sharing !!!
As far as other people? Well that is part of the reason I fish out of my yac and in the thickest jungle of grass and pads I can find. Perhaps some people's kids may benefit from being exposed to the wonderful world of fishing and not Video games and or TV.
Other than that looks like you had a fine day with some hefty fish landed. That must have been one full bucket of fish??? Quote "This too shall pass" . You can only control yourself not others🥴. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Look how proud your little guy is , I'll bet the guy on the camera had just as proud smile going also. Thanks for sharing with us and thanks for introducing the next generation of fine young fishermen. Always a double pleasure to get someone "hooked on fishing" 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Thanks, as I mentioned I wouldn't mind if you came in close to see what's going on. I'm really not doing anything special my friend . A lot of casting to what I believe are fishy looking places . Sometimes you have to put it right on top of them if they're close to the bank sitting in a pocket. A lot of times they won't come out very far to chase it , but when they do it often looks like a torpedo and I missed my first one of the season because I got excited and swung way too soon . She came out of some standing brush about 3' to chase my frog. WOW that gets the blood pumping fast and in a hurry. That's part of what makes frogn' fun and you stand a good chance of getting bigger fish over all. Net em , weight em take a pic, give em a kiss and send them back in . See ya soon at the M&G. Stay safe and good fortune this season enjoy your living room on the water!!! That's what J calls it. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Well one would like to think so, however since I go thru 5-6 on a long day I'm afraid that would effectively break my bank account. Truth be known these are Cuban mistakes brand and I get a box of 100 for about $ 85-$ 90:00 so they're pretty inexpensive and not much of a loss if broken or lost in the process of " Rippn' Lips" they keep me from sayn' stuff that a guy who just cut me off might not want hear! and keeps me from bitting my lip when I concentrate. I do have a wonderful friend who gives me really good cigars at times which I take the time to appreciate with a good cup of coffee. I really can't afford to buy the really top of the line cigars and I really don't experience quite the same nuances some describe while smoking them . So I'll stick with my cheapies and hopefully while I'm chewing on one end the Bass will be a chewing y the other. .., but I'd never turn down a good one either probably just wouldn't make it to the yac! 🤗 . Be seeing ya soon I hope at the M&G 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Here's a Trucsend frog that just caught a 2# er today. This frog has been thru the ringer and still produces. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

I love it . Thanks 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

WOW the launch was packed I put in and went to a few spots I've never fished before then worked my way back to some old spots after they opened up. What a circus. Seemed everyone was crappie fishn'🥴🤫 . Not me I got 11 today and got run off the lake by a nasty afternoon SW wind . Got home in time to mow most of the yard too. A few misses and almost to the boat fish too. On my way back toward the launch staying tight to the bank and in and out of all the little cives I spotted something that just didn't look right. This big ( like a hub cap) Softshell turtle was basking away in the sunshine and I got right up to her. After a couple pics and me trying to back away she plunged back in the water. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Thanks for the info , this may explain occasional stories about Fish & Game fineing someone for "trimming their tails" ??? But I'm with you on the panfish and eyes can't go wrong there!!! Good thing LM Bass aren't really good eating 🙄🤪 " just sayn'" Have a wonderful week and thanks for the response 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

You've kept me inspired all winter with your dedication to getting out fishing and for that I would like to thank you. Got a good start on Bass Thumb also. Just got a message from Truscend Fishing to possibly help them promote their frogs. We'll see how this works out? They have stopped production on a couple sizes I use making them unavailable ( ie. "Little Black Frog") . My fish this year have been all on their frogs of different sizes and colors. Thanks for sharing your adventures with everyone !!!!. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

WOW that looks like so much fun! Those are some awesome fish. Do you eat these??? What a great way to spend a day. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏

Got out today at Edinboro lake, pads are coming need another week to thicken up the separate bunches. Did find some small ones and my phone went dead again my fault for not charging it. You'd think I would have this figured out by now🤔🥴??? Anyway got 7 total with a couple near misses which is part of the game!! This place will be good in a couple weeks can't wait for the big girls to move in under these pads. Used 3 different frogs today trying to save my "little black frogs" for the big uns. Got poured on twice had to sit under my umbrella hunkered down . Then it cleared up and the ( SUN) came out!!!! My casting shoulder is starting to get back in shape but still a little sore 😂😂😂🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏
