I don't get the point of keeping the fish. I'm all about that catch and release.

what's not to get, you catch them and then eat them

Caught a mess of white bass at Hillsdale yesterday. Was fishing off the rocks on the west side of the s gardner rd bridge.

I got super excited when i hooked this drum, thought i had a massive bass or crappie. But nope, just an ugly drum.

How does white bass eat compared to crappie?

Went night fishing with a light out at Longview on sunday night. Caught jack crap.

if there is a fish called a drum it should look like a drum imo

Bigger filets and "meatier". Not as good as crappie but better than catfish.

The white bass eats a much healthier diet, whereas the crappie eats...well...

I caught these on my standard 1/8 oz jig head with a white grub worm thingy on it.

When I was at hillsdale yesterday the east side of of the bridge was super murky and filled with driftwood. I went over the the west side and it was significantly clearer (More clear?). It definitely helps to find a spot where the water is clear but I used to catch them at rocky ford all the time and the water there was never clear.

Standard guide for fishing is Clear water = Darker/more natural looking lure. Murky water = Brighter/more artificial looking lure.

Why are you guys even reeling in fish that are under 40 pounds?

So we have had a fishing thread on a Kstate sports website for like 4 years now but no one has fished with any current/former players? Well that just changed.

Went fishing with my GF's family on the 4th out at Cedar Lake and Reggie Walker was there (Married to GF's sister). I snagged 5 bass but reggie got skunked, had one hooked then lost it on about 4 ft from the shore.

All in all it was a great 4th of july morning.

Catch and release is the best way. Jeremy Wade would be proud.

Anyone here ever stocked a farm pond? Need to make this fishable in 3-5 years.

Tom

Had a pond when I was a kid. The local feed store had a vendor that came through a couple times every spring and sold/stocked fish. Maybe check w the local feed guys

Tom, I will give you all of my worldly advice if you allow me to fish it in 5 years.

wetwillie · « **Reply #1049 on:** July 12, 2015, 08:16:23 PM »

Ks dept wildlife and parks recommends 100 largemouth bass 500 bluegill and 100 channel cat fingerlings per acre of pond. Maybe throw in a few pounds of fat head minnows the first year.
