This going back to work stuff in Feb has kept me off the water from fishing since mid-end of that month. Looking forward to wetting a line today/tomorrow.

Thanks....I almost sent you a PM last night. I was wondering why I hadn't seen any fishing reports from you in a while. Hope you get on some fish somewhere.

Hoping to pick them back up again. It's been a transition to say the least staying at home with the kids for last 3 years to M-F grind. Time just disappears.

Planning on fishing Percy from around midnight to lunch time or so tomorrow from the yak. Should be good all signs point to it. Also have to figure out my GoPro by this afternoon. LOL...

My personal best bluegill is 12" caught from a farm pond around 1998 on a whole nightcrawler. I was casting the nightcrawler on a weightless hook and slowly reeling it in. I was trying to catch a bass, which was what I thought I had at first. Dang thing was huge.

Alpha, did you catch the 10# LM?

LOL....no. I wish....but I rarely fish for large mouth. I do it when I know they will be at certain spots at certain times of the year. In other words...the times they can be easy to catch.

I caught about five of them, all around 5 to 6 inches…this one had a weird curved scrape on it...all my crappie and bluegill were around 7-9 inches. Thanks again for the tips and advice!

That shine is what they use for monster bass in Florida live lining with a balloon..............woody
