Got to do some flounder gigging for the first time ever a few weeks ago on a trip to NC. I am HOOKED! Can't wait to go again, if you've never been...I'd highly suggest taking a trip to the east and do it.

I had a great night last night fishing. My apartment complex has a lake right at my front door! 15 feet from my door to the water. I went outside last night, with a perfect 68 degree night and catfished from about 11pm til 3am. Had I been paying more attention, I may have caught more than 2, but the two I caught were nice channel cats, around 10 pounds each. Looking forward to going again later this week. That view is beautiful from the OP by the way!!

I was out at Seneca Lake this weekend for a bachelor party and we rented a boat and did some fishing on Saturday. Five guys fishing and not a single nibble all day. That's what I hate about fishing in a new place for the first time with no one to show you to good sports or to tell you what techniques work well. I can't wait to get up to Lake Erie later this month and do some real fishing.

I don't think it's safe to take livestock on kayaks. :cool:

IWP, ten bass is better than a day at work !

Benny, nice shot ! I always miss, I blame it on too much beer.

Wildcat24, don't forget your camera. I'd love to see Alaska fishing.

Fab1b, I cut the trout's head off !

Yeah but it's sort of cheating. Fishing in a very small lake/pond.

Although I have actually caught some walleye out at Berlin this year so...

My son and I have been out 2 times and caught 13 Crappie the first time all small.
The second trip we caught 24 large mouth. My son reeled in one 8 lb 3 oz. I almost knocked the little prick off the boat!

We have a running wager.
A buck for the fisrt fish.
A buck for the most fish.
A buck for the largest fish.

I'm up 4 bucks so far but would rather have the 8 pounder to brag about like he does.

Me and my brother have caught 7 or so walleye out of Berlin in the last week and a half. Off the dock that is much better than we usually do. Berlin has been good this year so far.

I went fishing, last Thursday maybe, at Hideaway Hills. was out there for a few hours. Between the two of us, we got nothing. Got two bites. We weren't happy at all.

Salt water IMO is the best, especially from kayaks. I love fighting a big red from a kayak!
