First Full Spring Session.... Finally

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

First Full Spring Session.... Finally

Post by zippyfx »

Or my spring trash fish round up....

Given the weather and kids activities fishing has taken a back seat this spring... I managed to get out and have nice morning on fathers day though. My first full spring session (about 4 hours) just in time for the first day of summer.

I hit the bank early and managed to get this ragged tail white sucker and and small carp right off the mark.

Awhile later I got this interesting half tail carp:

Next to hit the bank was this super colourful shorthead redhorse, a very vibrant red.

Next came my biggest carp in a while... He fought hard with many strong runs. It is not that long but it had broad shoulders. I called it around 8 pounds.

Image

Last but not least was the final white sucker of the day

That's some fine coarse angling (as they say across the pond)!

Glad you were able to get out for a good outing. I feel your pain as I just had my first son in January so fishing has slowed down. It's rare you see reports like this which is a cool change. Thanks for sharing zippyfx and hope you are able to get out some more. I enjoy your unique posts.

Amen to that, the worm is the ubiquitous bait!
