True story, Im going IN!!
the spring steelhead are starting to run
Watching "bill Dance" today made me fiend. So I went out to the college of NJ for a hour. I didnt see any action but my first fish of the year is right around the corner!!
going out today in hope of an early crappie heading up the big creeks. Also going out in the morning hoping for an early catfish or crappie.
Saturday i am a attending a yellow perch celebration with a tournament and what not. If my first fish doesnt come this weekend im going to be dissappointed.

cleaning some perch from icefishing yesterday. there are some fishs that have eggs. can i feed it to my fishes? i have datnoids, arowanas, clown loaches and plecos. would perch eggs harm any of them?

While it's been 15+ years... The bloodier half of a bluegill + large hook + stainless leader + 8lb Spiderwire (again, been a while... It'd rip cattails out by the roots as a comparison to mono.) One of the smaller basic shark rigs you guys use down there for surf casting would honestly do just fine without the weights. They'll find it in the weeds, but if it's floating just above, expect a faster hit.
Catching them consisted of tossing said bit of fish into the nastiest section of water you can find (typically the shallow weed logged areas with a bit of open water above), and either using a float, or slowly dragging it across. If they're there, they'll hit it. I can honestly say I never saw one pass up a free meal. I'm assuming you're trying to catch a smaller one to grow into the 3'+ version, so scale your bluegill accodingly.
Never hooked one on a lure, or in relatively open water I'd fish for anything else in the span of 7 or so years. ~12 acre private nonmotorized lake for a backyard in MI if it helps. These guys seem a bit more enthusiastic about them though... http://www.bowfinanglers.com
If it wasn't a bowfin, it'd be a hook-free bullhead half the size of the bluegill that just wouldn't let go. Snapping turtles were a tasty bonus.
Be ready for a fight, I used to hook them and let them tow the paddleboat around the cove a bit to tire them out enough to land easily.
I miss being able to consider full grown bullfrogs bait for largemouths.
For now, the only fishing I get to do is using my arm as bait when cleaning the convict's tank - I must be good, I always get a few bites.
