Few hour at the canal this morning

[Oatums]

Had the morning free today, so I decide to put in few hours of fishing. After dropping off my kids at school I headed to the canal. Caught a few species of fish today. Biggest was a chunker largemouth bass, my guess it around 5 lbs or so. Couple channel cat, and a stinking carp. All fish caught on night crawler and shad like bait.

The fatty lmb
   

Another smaller unit.
   

This little guy fought great.
   

All fish cpr today, already had my fish fry treat few days ago.
   

Last catch of the day. This guy decide he wanted to give my crankbait a try......lol
   

Not too bad for few hours on the water. I'm gonna be late picking up my kids from school.........

haha thanks for the post Oat. did you keep the carp for bait for next weekend?????

[Oatums]

Grass carp is a big no no. That's a $350 fine if caught with one. we will get our own carp next weekend. I got a few spot in mind, brink a can of yellow corn.

[choodak]

its only illegal if you get caught! and by the fine beig so high that must mean that its a good bait. im sold. oat we need to target grass carp next weekend

[fisherofmen]

no oat needs to target them before we get there so we can fish them when we get there

[Oatums]

Fresh is best, we'll get some next weekend.
