my first catch of 08

Congrats Jim on the 1st fish of 2008! :big_smile: I'm not sure why you feel posting a pic makes it a competition? I personally enjoy photos of members and their catches!

 

I also enjoy the photo`s of other members with their catches,if anyone is interested in competition sign up for the spring fish off,I did there is alot of smack talk going on.Getting back to the subject I encourage all members to post photos of their fish most of us enjoy them.

 

Congrats to you Jim. Im sure that must have been a great fight!

 

Whats your point? All I ever catch in the delaware are channels and whites. It ain't a competition. They have a fish-off for that. Just enjoy the sport and let the chips fall where they may.

 

Jim, Keep your head high its all about the chase not what your going to do after the catch.:big_smile:

 

Hey buddy---don't sweat it. Any fish are good fish I say. Plus, it is all about the fun of it not the competition. Please feel free to share your experiences and catches. I just like to hear the stories and see the pics (if you have them...I have trouble getting pics myself since I am usually fishing alone.)

Catching that carp must've been fun! I, myself, am shootin' for my first carp this year. Maybe you can share your tips?

 

Congrats glad they starting to bite.... just waiting for temps to start to stabilize at least in the high 50's...... can't wait......Weekends are getting boring stuck in the house.......

 

Not all of us catch monsters. Most of my time on or at the water is relaxing, not competetive.:wink:

 

Don't sweat it Jim! Catching big fish has nothing to do with luck, knowledge, bait, tackle. The number one secret to catching big fish is your time on the water. You put in your time, you will be rewarded.

If you are up in Reading, PA the flats are up there too, not just big numbers like down in. I sugesst in your cat/carp outings, have a rod out with a live bluegill.

 

Congrats on the catch brother keep it up.

 

sounds like a nice carp

 

I far as I know or been told, the skuke has flats north to south east to west. Are you sure your just not hitting the right spot on the right day or night?

 

Jim,

Fish Vincent Dam at night in late May with a bluegill ad you should be golden!

Good luck ad let us know how you do.

If not, come to Philly and I can help you.

 

Congrats on your catch. Thanks for sharing. I don't see it as a competition either, just enjoy seeing those pics.

 

good way to start the season

 

agreed, we all just like to see pictures of nice fish!

 

Way too many people think that fishing 1 or 2 days a week will produce big fish. It's more like 4 to 5 nights a week.
