caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2018 Houndfish with bass? Never heard of that before... Been seeing more and more in the lake every year. Especially at night crappie fishing with lights and minnows. Aggravating sob's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

islander727 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2018 Nice spec Islander. Are these usually available for you, or are they seasonal? I can catch them year round. Winter is usually the best time in my area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
islander727 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2018 Managed a few today. The cichlid was a ball on the 2wt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng2 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2018 Nice spec Islander. Are these usually available for you, or are they seasonal? I can catch them year round. Winter is usually the best time in my area. They are not common in Delaware but they can be found a little further South for me in Virginia. Cold stun was responsible for killing more specs in Virginia and North Carolina than normal this year.

Tom Cummings 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2018 Finally was able to get out to the local lakes. Fish was aggressive and colorful. Pan sized here and fat. On a size #14 elk hair caddis Not pictured was 3 bass on a fox tail streamer size #6 because I waded out over my belt deep and had no place for the phone. All was catch and release.

vicente 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2018 Tom that's the same species of sunfish we have most often here, don't get very big but they have beautiful colors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2018 I too, finally got out there and caught a fish. Actually caught two. Not as pretty as that Pumpkinseed, Tom ... the the first one had some weight to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Cummings 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2018 Was fun considering it was breezy but cast need not be too far to get attention. Left after 2 hours because I realized I left my wallet at home and hoped I didnt lose it in the lake. Last check was home and it was by my vise lol. Nice video mikechell. 1st did put a little bend on your rods back. I think mine had nice color as the water is crystal clear with sand bottom. Yours mike was in what looked to be darker waters. Either way its good to get out and put the flies tied this winter to use. Tied more elk hair caddiss size #12 as a few bass came to check out the #14 size. Might prompt some action with slightly bigger and flashier bodies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philly 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2018 And people say brook trout are pretty, but nothing beats a male pumpkinseed in spawning colors. Were you fishing an old sand pit, Tom? I caught this pumpkinseed up in the Poconos, a clear lake with a high tannic content, weedy bottom. It's interesting how the environment affects the fish color.

Peartree 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2018 Finally got some time off work to do a little fishing. Caught 11 all about this size on a purple/black wooly bugger, my son caught 10 but his were a little bigger and on spin cast tackle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Cummings 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2018 Philly. It’s not a sand pit to my knowledge. Way too close to the rancocaus creek in Willingboro. Has many islands about 7 in it. Only a fool would dig a sand pit that close and nearly ground level elevation for water line. The water is clear and filtered water from the creek which is murky and you can’t see an inch in the creek. Nice fish btw. Love the colors. Very nice bass pear tree.
