Fishin

How many go fishing? I want to go as I have not been in a few years. I like to pan fish. Catfish is good. On the lock and dam they snag. I have never gone snagging on purpose. I sure would like to eat some fresh caught crappie. My fishing equipment is old but I guess it still works. Now to recall what kind of bait to use. I guess I will go up the ladder to the out door forum. Does any one else fish or have the luxury of their own stock tank (pond)?

Doesn't look to me like you are doing anything wrong...Mighty fine fish for fishing from the bank.

I love to fish! I am looking forward to doing a lot more fishing very soon, now that I will be retired and finally have time for such pursuits. I live near several lakes, trout tailwaters, and the Smokies are nearby with miles of mountain streams to fish.

There is a big pond about 40 feet from the back side of our property line. The owner said I could fish anytime I want. Thinking of putting a small gate and fishing with a cane pole. Won't keep, but will just release. Might be nice to down a six pack and kill a morning till it time for my nap.
