In this forum, please post the results of your fishing trips (the amount and size of fish caugh, lures used, water body, from boat or shore, etc.). I am excited to hear about what other young members are catching!  |

My latest trip I went a couple miles away to a pond to fish from shore. Caught a couple little pumpkinseeds, and one was actually pretty big, especially for a sunfish. Caught 'em on a bead-head prince nymph. Biggest fish so far on a fly setup. (Didn't measure it but it was probably 10 or 11 in. long) |

Sounds like you had an enjoyable trip, skewl. Those sunfish haven't been hammering my dry flies as hard, lately. Probably because of the cooler weather.  |

Went fishing yesterday evening. Caught about 15 good sized Pumpkinseed Sunfish and my first Redear Sunfish off a dry fly. |

Yesterday I went down to the creek caught 2 nice sized creek chubs, and a real nice green sunfish. The water temp was around 59, 60'ish and at first I tried Gulp Maggots, getting no bites of of those I switched to a bumblebee fly *(fisherfanatic ur probably right about the sunfish not biting the flies), after that I switched to a light green ?nub? lure(got it from a friend), and I caught one chub on that then I switched over to a red/white tube and caught the other chub and the green sunfish. Yup, had a pretty good day of fishing,, wish my camera hadn't died on me but ya, it was good. P.S. I have a youtube account (vweeks181) and on there is a fishing video from about two weeks ago. I will post more up as soon as possible. Be sure to check it out! |

Great video, vweeks! Those Green Sunfish are vicious.
I might be able to go fishing this weekend, but I'm not positive. |

For the sunfish, I was using small dry flies. They work well most of the year untill it starts to get really chilly. I caught that two inch Smallmouth Bass off a the same dry fly I was using for sunfish. I was actually using a separate bait for Smallmouth Bass (which didn't even get a nibble), a Cabela's, pumpkin flake, colored curlytail grub. |

Just went fishing today at a park pond downtown Atlanta. Did not catch anything however, but had plenty of "light" bites on gold spinners, zoom white trick worms, and finesse jigs with a zoom smoke mustard added to it. Pretty good day. Better day fishing, but not catching than doing something you *really don't want to do  |

I went fishing yesterday, but I didn't catch anything. I did get a few good bites from some Crappie and Bluegill off a curlytail grub Maybe I should have used live bait.  |
