Fishing for the past 3 days

[crustyangler17]

wensday 8/31 - went to a new little underfished lake which i will not reveal the name of. caught 4 bass and 2 pickerel on wacky worms and an inline spinner. had to leave early due to ravenous mosquitos attacking me . heres the biggest bass, a short but fat 2 pounder:

thursday 9/01 - fished a new spot on the millstone river some guy told me about, for some catfish. it was a huge bolder covered in poison ivy but the fishing was pretty decent. caught a bullhead and 3 channel catfish, one being 4 pounds. i decided to fry em but unfortunatley, it tasted like dirt . no pics sorry
friday 9/02 - fluke fished the Squan' inlet and redemed myself from getting skunked last time in july. got 10 shorts and 2 keepers, an 18" and a 18 3/4" and some snappers . tons of snappers biting my gulp, its really annoying after a while.

one of the short flukes, along with a snapper, spat the hook after i hauled it over the bulkhead, and fell in the flooded ditch behind the wall, never to escape

Nice catches, but I will say be easy about the way you hold those LMB. I'd hate to see someone nearly break the jaws of those guys.

Great report. CS has a point, I just hold them this way.

I'll either hold them at the horizontal like Andy, or like this:

i know i shouldnt have held it like that, i just wanted to get the whole fish in the picture.

Nice job on the 3 days, saltwater and freshwater mixed bag in both, not bad at all. I fish a place like the pond you mentioned. The only time Ive ever fished with anyone else on that lake was Labor Day. It's called Sheperds Mills Pond. Loaded with bass and pickeral although they don't seen to get above 2 lbs..
