Catch of the day [Fishing]

Late season lure fishing for Bass....

[Giles]

We have one of my fishing mates over from France for the weekend. Popped down to one of my local haunts this AM, Using soft plastics for Bass. A few years ago, I would never have dreamt of using lures for Bass later than October, but my mates and I have learnt a lot recently, so it was a nice mild morning, no wind and a rising tide, so we felt it was worth a cast or 2. It worked.....

Perfect example of any given day on the forum…

Fishing for snook and got this guy. Missing a claw and a back fin. Been through a battle. Lived to fight another day.

Check out this handmade lure. She’s a biggun!

It’s tiny so you may have to zoom in but the lad caught his first fish all on his own from baiting the rod to casting and reeling the shark in

Great White?

@Giles to him it may well have been he was so chuffed and my heart did pump a bit quicker as he landed it

Went fishing in mountain streams and ponds in Thurmont, Maryland. I didn't catch any but Amanda my wife and Uncle Bill each caught a rainbow. My job was to clean and prep them for dinner. Good deal.

Saw three golden (marker) trout up there this morning too. Two visible next to one another in a stream and a guy next to us at a pond reeled one in to show us.

@Oaktavia Golden trout you say??? Those are my spirit animal...those and moose. Moose are really special.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yeah Golden trout are used as markers to show where the rainbows are. They look like this:

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia Oh! I see..not the actual fish? I was wondering because by my knowledge they don't exist out east...

Here’s one I caught up in Wyoming last summer.

WV introduced them in 1963: https://www.wvencyclopedia.org/articles/2273#:~:text=The West Virginia Centennial Golden,then bred for the characteristic.

I saw a few growing up in nearby streams.
