Video - Spring Clouser Crappies

Here's a video of Spring fly fishing for crappies. Enjoy!

2/7/16 February Kayak Pike!

Mike and I seized the chance to fish some open water yesterday for Pike. Within 15 minutes of being on the water I felt the thump for which I've been waiting a few months. The fish was good sized and gave me a great fight. The fish must have been hungry because it had the entire lure engulfed in it's mouth! Not too long after, I had a follow from a large Pike on two consecutive casts but it never seemed much interested in actually biting. Mike also managed to land a respectable sized Pike not too long into the trip. The good start got me excited and expecting good things. The fish however had other ideas and I never caught another fish the rest of the day. The rest of the day was spent enjoying the weather and hoping for the next bite which would never come. The forecast looks cold this next week. I'm really glad we got out when we did!

1/31/16 Falls of the Ohio

I spent the vast majority of my time in Louisville at the Boat, RV, and Sport show but I got out for a bit on Sunday to enjoy the nice weather and check out a potential play boating and fishing spot. The Falls of the Ohio used to be the only natural rapids on the Ohio River. It has since been dammed and diverted but at times still has some powerful class 4 white water rapids. The rapids were big and powerful! The eddy created by the spillway was powerful enough that it was forming rapids going back upstream even! This area is also a well known fishing spot for Sauger, Catfish, and several kinds of Bass. The whole area is a tropical fossil bed. It's really neat as you are walking around all the rocks keep your eyes peeled! You could stumble upon something pretty cool. Here is a link to the Falls Website. With the nice weather I suspect it won't be long before I have a fishing report or two to share!
