I love fishing with ultralight tackle and small lures. When you are catching bluegills that size on an ultralight you are having a fun day of fishing. This is the time of year that they should be on their beds after spawning.Love me a slab fohead View attachment 172959
Could be a small blue, but I’m 80% sure with the forked tail, it’s a channel without spotsAny idea what type of cat this is ? Was thinking channel but has no black spots, sort of looks like a blue cat as well. Perhaps a hybrid ? View attachment 172964
That's a channel cat. It doesn't have any spots but sometimes that is the case with channel cats, particularly the younger ones.Any idea what type of cat this is ? Was thinking channel but has no black spots, sort of looks like a blue cat as well. Perhaps a hybrid ? View attachment 172964

That's a tough break SENC! My prayers are with you and I wish you a speedy recovery.Sorry Folks , Not able to get out the house & over too the pier/Beach, or take the John Boat out AT ALL for outdoor activities.
Reason being, remember I'm a amputee..
I've been fighting INFECTION in My stub, between (almost) flesh eating crap My bone was infected, thus Doctors Orders too, STAY OUT & AWAY from the water(s)! AND NO yard work, especially for the chickens I have..
Turns out My bone inside was infected & they, (the Doc) had to take abit off, about 2 inches..
Heres a before & After pic.. GRAPHIC!

Not sure what kind that is but bonnetheads and sandbars aren't uncommon when fishing
Johnnie mercer pier in wrightsville Beach has been having good mor ing runs of blues and Spanish. Was there mid April and a few of us ran off 45 blues in about 2 hours.My trip to the Jolly Roger fishing pier at Topsail on Saturday went well as far as the number of fish that were caught but the size of the fish was a different story. I caught close to fifty fish but I ended up throwing back most of them back. I caught some spots, mullet, croakers and the smallest bluefish I've ever caught. I went down there based on the pier reports advertising a bluefish run but no one had any luck with the gotcha plugs including me. Earlier in the morning before I arrived someone snagged a tarpon that weight around 150 pounds. He landed it after a one and a half hour fight on the beach. The king mackerel fishing was dead as it could be.

The next time I head that way, I might take you up on that. We had a good time even though we didn't catch any big fish. Speckled trout would be right up my alley. I like to catch and eat them more than flounder.@weather bubba , shoulda stopped by the house, coulda gave ya a "guided" trip, targeting redfish, black drum/Sheepshead/Sea Trout. along with clamming..
I really like Jolly Rodger, buuuut, the end is too shallow for kingin, though it is quite the Tarpon pier..
Seaview is the BEST pier on Topsail, IMOP..
Something similar happened to my stepdaughter. When I was dating her mother years ago I took both of them pond fishing and she got a fishhook caught in her scalp. Since then, my stepdaughter has never had any interest in fishing. I am going to see if I can get both of my granddaughters interested in fishing without anything like that happening again.Goofy story because why not...
My dad tried to take me fishing when I was very young and I nearly took out my eyeball when I tried to cast a line.
So...I never actually learned how to fish because of my clumsiness. I like the outdoors, but I don't hunt or fish.
That's bad but I have it beat. Literally just 2 days I got a 1 ought circle hook stuck in my lipSomething similar happened to my stepdaughter.

I've hooked myself in the forehead which hurt pretty bad. On our trip to Maine last summer I looked down at our dock to see my son with a Rapala buried in his shin. The fishing line trick worked like a champ and he was back to fishing in no time.Something similar happened to my stepdaughter.

The fishing like trick is awesome and works more often than not. Doesn't work with circle hooks. I was gonna try the other day but the lip is so soft I was afraid I'd tear it getting the circle hook out.I've hooked myself in the forehead which hurt pretty bad.

Yessir! Cats love liver.Will blue catfish hit chicken liver like channels do ? Curious. I have caught a **** ton of channels on it. It’s hard to find shad around here
