I' ve been fishing most days this week, Staten Island, Long Island & Manhattan Island. I finished by taking out the ol' switch rod which is now loaded with a skagit shooting head and fished Prospect Park near the boat house. BGs and crappie were active this evening. I caught about a dozen fish before 6:00pm. there was activity on main part of the lake.

I finally caught a carp at cloves lake in the spilway between pools #2 & #3. there are a lot of channel...

It only took ten years...

Finally got around to putting the canoe in the Squannicook River in the area along Townsend Road in Groton above Rt. 225 (actually above the dam at Hollingsworth & Vose). Wow. The fishing was slow, though I did catch two pickerel and one small bluegill, and missed one nice strike, but I didn't get that far down and still was impressed with the many cut banks and backwaters. Pretty place to be, and I know there are some good fish in that part of the river. Actually, the pond area...

O M G!

Fall Weather Fishings Picking UP - Updated 9/15 Pics Added

Inspired by the recent fall weather after a couple weeks of opressive humidty ( the extent of our 'real' summer) here in the northeast I pulled out my terrestrial box and put the rod back in the car. Stopped at a couple of spots yesterday. One favorite that I drive by on the way home which I hadn't fished in over a month.

Bluegill fishing on the Dark Side

Well, went out again last night to do some bass buggin at a kettle pond on Cape Cod.. Full moon, 5-10 mph, SW wind, fished from 11:30PM - 3:30 am... this pond is very clear and shallow on one side of the pond with a lot of docks, surprisingly not a lot of fish caught around the docks at night... caught about 18 fish all night... lost about ten good fish and wicked hard strikes. Pond report has noted small mouth and large-mouth in it... I did catch one large-mouth about 1 lbs and one small...

This crappie was hiding under the dock in Prospect park. I caught him with a #10 BH white woolie bugger. i thought my 2 wt was going to snap, he was so heavy. i had to lip him to get him out of the water.

Took my daugther out for a short trip to the local bluegill kettle pond Saturday. Had perfect conditions with no wind slightly overcast skies and willing bluegills. She caught several right off and a nice largemouth before she got bored and started exploring which is always part of a kids fishing trip. Brought home a lily pad...

Flytackle is right!!! Panfish don't like RED!!!!

feeds@yuku.com (gillbuster) — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:24:09 GMT

They HATE the color red and will aggressively attack it with a incredible vengeance like a ragging bull.... Fished a local pond with my 4wt and decided to try out some of the Fly Swap flies...Well since I was fishing light weight, I thought...

Crappie Here, Crappie There, Crappie every where....

Yesterday, I stopped to put the belly boat in at a local pond, to try my luck... Jeffsod had given me some neat looking Muddler Minnows #6-8 hook, he received from a Larry Dahlberg pattern with a lot of gold flash in them, they just look toooooo good not toss on a 4 wt... WOW!!! started casting along the shoreline and cast it by a submerged tree top and caught about 3 dozen 10+ inch Black crappie as fast as I could put the fly in the water...plus I missed as many fish as I hooked into......

another lake in NYC

feeds@yuku.com (bill0215) — Sat, 02 May 2009 19:10:54 GMT

this past thursday i fished a lake, Baisley lake in Baisley Park in Queens. the last time i had been to this park I was about 12 years old. Baisley lake is a real lake which existed during the time when mammoths roamed New York. when the city dredged this lake in 1912 the remains of the original wooly bugger were found. what makes this lake special is the fact that it is home to both LM &SM bass. there are perch, BGs, bullheads, channal catfish and carp in the lake as well.
