The new year of fishing has begun!

How many have already hit the water and started fishing in the new year? I have the new fishing reports posted, and so far, it still says fair for crappie on minnows and green and black tube jigs, but, channel and blue catfish are excellent on bloodbait, if you are into catfish, that’s good news, but, I like crappie or bass, that and I am only fishing from the pier at Birch Creek Park, so, I have to wait a bit yet until the crappie get going when it warms up.

Last year, I wasted the last half of the best crappie season, thinking it might get good in the fall, but, I never made it back. I am sorry to say it, but I didn’t even have anything to write here, mostly out of embarrassment, because I wasn’t fishing, but, work also played a part in it. This year is different, I want to go fishing, I need to go fishing!

I am hoping that someone reading this will leave a message, as a comment here or as a post in the forum, and tell me they are going and meet me down there, it would make a great article and maybe even give me a chance to use my video camera and get something to post at YouTube and here as well. Remember, if you have a video from a fishing trip, and you would like to share it, let me know, post it at YouTube, and we can write about it here as well. The point is, let’s do some fishin’!

If you look at the fishing reports, not much is happening right now, and maybe you are  waiting for the new license year, because you didn’t get one last year, like me, and there was no way I was going to pay for one in March, only to use it for another month, anyway, you know where I am coming from, get your license now, so that you won’t have that excuse next time! See ya at the lake!
