My season has sucked so far. But thanks for asking.

I can't catch any fish. I don't know what the problem is. I use popular lures and can put the cast where I want to, but no results. My buddies catch fish at the same waters. I thought it might have something to do with hand acid, so before I went out last time, I rubbed my hands in salt and used fish attractant on my lures. Still nothing.

I love fishing, but this is starting to annoy me. I've even tried down sizing, just to catch perch or crappie. It used to be that I could catch perch even when I didn't want to. Any suggestions would really help.

It started off good, but is slowing down. Lets just say I've had better.

Yankeejigger,
It's awesome that you and your some fish together. The kids are the future of the sport and not to mention that you two spend quality time together. That's great.
As far as the season goes, Mine has stunk. Kind of like Culchie. Have not resorted to extremes, but am getting close. Have had three fomntt tournys and have one fish to show for it. There's always the next one.

Guys,
I forget who told me during the TU Meet, that when fishing gets slow, he was tempted to use a small hand cranked generator used for field telephones to some voltage into the water, sort'a like the DNR uses for fish counts. Since all the fish come to the surface, you can be sure to keep only "KEEPERS" and no under sized fish. LoL

It is slow at most lake in Nebraska because of the weather. The water is pure mud in must it has about 2" visabilty in most right know. More rain is on the way. I did get down to a lake a hour south of here for a tournament and it was the best time I have had all year. Were hoping for a good fall fishing. Alright we are praying

You suck! The ones I caught 2 weeks ago were all under weight. I got four 19 3/4's and they all were 3lb or a little bigger. The 16 1/2 I caught was 3.9lb I think the females I caught were in a late spawn. Yours look huge compared to mine. Nice monsters anyways

Yankee Jigger mine has been going good. I have been catching a lot of Bass on my plastic's. The Kankakee River is started to go down now and also clear some. However I have been catching some nice Smallies, I waided up Rock creek the other day and caught 4 nice Rainbow's, that was a first for me and it was awesome. Good luck the rest of the way all and congrats to you and your son YJ on your finish in your tourney..........Jeff.............
