Emily, Elam and I got to slip off to catch a few catfish yesterday. We didn't catch anything very big but there were plenty.  

All we caught were released including these two little guys.  

We fish Badin Lake with some regularity.

Nice fishes.  We will be going to Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas next weekend.  I expect that we will catch white bass, largemouth, smallmouth and maybe a walleye.  At least I hope we will catch something.  Until next weekend its just a fish story.

Those were ideal eating size but we have plenty in the freezer right now.  

 

Going to the coast next week so I might need to save a little space for those fish too!  :)

It is hard to find fish better to eat than crappie!  That's a nice cooler full!

Leaving in a week for Detroit River Walleye. Best fishing of the year. Definitely a World Class Fishery in the spring.

It was about 70° or so with a cool SE breeze about 10 or 12 mph.  The sun was quite bright all day.  

Fishing was slow until about 3:30.  Then we hit them pretty good!

 Sight casting for crocs!




 
We caught Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish and Mullet along with a mixed bag of pinfish, sea bass, and puffers too small to keep. 

We kept two Spanish for supper tomorrow night.

Caught another mess of Crappie and some Largemouth Bass.

 

 

Noticed this on edge of the pond, I think it's a Praying Mantis nest.

Those whiting are among the most tasty fish.  For their size, they hit hard and fight like a Bulldog.  I prefer catching them than most other species out of the surf.

Fun to catch, relatively easy to catch, plentiful and good to eat!  What's not to like about whiting besides the bones?  They are like crappies of the sea!

Got my Turkey and "The other White Meat" Walleye this weekend. Bird had 11 1/2" beard and limit of walleye in 3 hours for 4 guys 3 days in a row.  Mission accomplished, freezer is full.

I really don't fish, but I will go to the mountain streams by the cabin.  She has been bugging me for years to take her fishing...so I did.  She was so proud of herself.  8)

@jb616  Awesome catching! And an awesome bird!  Did you buy a lottery ticket?  If you did, can I be your new best friend! :D :D

@snobdds   Way to put her on the fish!  

There's no one else I'd rather fish with than Emily.  She fishes with me often and has become quite serious.  She remembers going fishing with her Grandma.  Turns out that side of her family is full of fishing women including my two daughters!

I haven't fished for whiting in years but back when I was a kid, before they started pumping sand from offshore in to renourish the beaches, we would dig sandfleas where the surf crashed on the beach and use them on gold hooks tied to light line on a cane pole.  Sandfleas are tough to find on a lot of beaches these days.  They were fun to catch and good to eat (whiting-Beenthere).  To me, they resemble a redfish (red drum) without the spot.  I think we used to also catch them on a Doc's Goofy Jig, which also works well for pompano.

For a hot second I thought you were eating the sand fleas.  :D :D

Sand fleas do make good bait for whiting and pompano.  We will sort through a hundred to find the 10 or 15 soft shell sand fleas.

Never had any luck with the hard shelled ones.  Never looked for any soft shelled ones, but I will now.
