To the poster who loves ULM, how is it early October?


Probably the best time of year to catch fish. Redfish bite picks back up. Obviously not the best time to chase big trout but weather and fish catching overall trump big trout at that time.

There is something about sitting on a river with a tight line...



Yep. I find just sitting by the river's edge and watching the ship traffic come and go or watching a paddle wheeler full of tourists floating by as the calliope music is being played is pretty relaxing.

I do aim for catching the larger cats with good size perch on circle hooks, and they are a blast to hook and bring in.

One time I needed some catfish for a gathering and hooked 4-----2 flatheads and 2 blue cats that weighed a combined 85 lbs. with the flatheads being the largest of the lot.

I had to make 2 trips to get all my gear and the fish to my truck to head home------but it was worth it.

Kayak fishing down a river filled with spots, guads or smallies.

The Blue, Glover, Llano, Cahaba - they all have their moments. Nothing quite like 3lb+ river bass going nuclear on topwater.

Love sight casting for lemon fish around buoys in the Gulfport ship channel. Haven't done it in years though.

Beautiful! Have you ever caught a calico bass outta there? That’s a fish that’s eluded me ever since I found out they exist.

How far up the river do you have to get to be able to wade most of it?

I can’t pick one.

1A: DEEP Delacroix, mid March, Overcast skies, 15ish kt SE wind, incoming tide, pogies and mullets flickering, launching a skitterwalk into trout feeding frenzies.

1B: Chandys, Cool April or October morning, Overcast, light winds, incoming tide, launching a One Knocker into shallow water grass flats.

Boundary waters in Minnesota. That or the creeks in south Missouri. 3rd Cheniere lake area #7. Lots of memories there. Black lizard, no weight.

Any freshwater lake in Jan or Feb after a few days of warm weather. Especially the days right before a front blows through.

Any freshwater lake in Jan or Feb after a few days of warm temperatures to get the water temps up in the high 50's for bass.
