I'm ready get out there. Tried four hours last week at Cedar Bluff and nothing nadda zilch think the water temps just need get some warmth before anything starts to happen.

It's cooled off again this week :# I really need get some fishing in this week is my sons spring break so we will be going sometime probably this weekend at my spots on Lake Wilson.

I was wanting go out of state fishing like lake of the Ozarks but that's not happening going wait to save money for later this summer for a big trip.

I feel ya, I'm ready for some action as well

Actually busted out my pole and went to the lake today for the first time since last fall (temporarily laid off, grain prices are in the crapper)... no luck, wind was blowing like hell and it was quite a bit cooler than yesterday

Very noice, thats a fat ol' striper

They are definitely feeding agressively. They were all fat like that. Catching them once every 3-4 casts. I just hope they don't eat themselves full before I get back on Friday. I'm a bit concerned that Friday will be a cooler day though.

About two years ago in March I was so damned determined to fish but it was 50mph winds. I got out there with waves and waded out there about waist deep but I was a man on a mission. I caught two large mouth bass that day and good size each. OMG that was crazy shit I could have easily drowned by myself. I couldn't believe my luck catching them beautiful fish. That was also one of the most fun fishing days I've ever had but with my COPD this year I don't think I should press my luck.

Every 3-4 casts, man thats a field day

LOL, bah... Danger is your middle name, nothing risked nothing gained

Now get out there and risk your life again!

:hmmm: KC Danger Tattoo that's kinda got a ring to it.

:D

I just bought my fishing license today.

$36 for it and a 3 pole permit.

Wtf Kansas?

I first read COPD as PTSD. I was thinking that must have really been some intense fishing.

Wow, shiver me timbers... Illinois is actually decent about something, only $15 here

Yeah no shit it went up 10 bucks from last year :cuss:

The trout stamp was another $14.50 on top of that!

This pisses me off even more wtf do we have to have a trout stamp?

Altho if I want to go trout fishing I'd like do that in Colorado but I don't want to spend $14.50 for a trout stamp here in Kansas that's just dumb.

I think it's just because they spend so much time and money on that species. I know walleye and a few others get extra treatment but just from my observations I think the trout take much more energy. It's probably only viable if they get enough people legally targeting them.

I don't buy the stamp, because I'd have to go out of my way to catch them. I only know of two spots (lake Henry, and lake Shawnee) that stock them. If it was like $5, sure, why not? But I'm not wasting $15 on one.
