No bites?
What the hell is wrong with these fish? Lively bait dragging right in their faces!

El Nino.
I am thinking about going out Saturday but I am worried that the cooler temps may screw things up. I could go for a nice relaxing day of fishing.

I have always heard the full moon is very hard to catch daytime striper. They gorge themselves at night. I have caught many a big striper and hybrid on topwater at night on a full moon

It's gonna be hard to pass up a day like Saturday to fish but I'm also worried the tail end of the cold front might screw things up. If I don't fish, I'll take the .22 out and hopefully knock down a bunch of squirrels.

I usually just use a slingshot I made from a forked limb and a piece of inner-tube.

You must be better at it than me. I think I would be a better shot with my bow than a .22.

You may have been to deep with the bait because I found them just off the bottom in 8' foot of water and they were hammering top water plugs. The louder the better it turn them on but as soon as the sun burned off the fog they stop....................woody

I was just playing. I prefer a shotgun for just about everything, if you want to make sure you bring something back.

Growing up squirrel hunting my grandfather never even mentioned using a .22. So I thought it was normal to use a shotgun until I was about 16. My best friend and I went one morning and he showed up with a .22, I thought he was joking.

I've been using .22's for the last 40 years, no shotguns, just headshots or let'em go.
Same with deer. .280, 140 GR SPITZER boattail, headshots out to 200 yds (a rarity in TN where I hunt, 90 yds usually max), although I did do a neck shot last year at 90 yds because the head was behind a tree.

I'm resuming my hunting passion this year, it started with a rabbit hunt with my Father and I in early January and then a few dove hunts this month. I used to hunt with him as a kid but somewhere around 12yrs old I decided all I wanted to do was fish.
I remember the days of going with him to central Florida sitting in the woods with a .22 and a good scope knocking down squirrels during the cooler months. I had so much fun and they have some tasty meat on them. Like Merv said, always try for the headshot. I'm really excited about making hunting a part of my life again and moving up to larger game soon.
