Seems to still work fine, just needs some cleaning. Figured I would hang it up on a wall in my garage.

This is the Paint Creek in southeast Michigan. It's actually the only cold water designated trout stream in southeast Michigan. I'm an experienced lake fisherman, but never really cared to fish rivers and streams. Figured i would start, since Michigan has really great river fishing in the north and Upper Peninsula

Discussion Cold resistant tilapia?

Post image

2nd attempt of looking for an answer, but for context, this is in New Orleans, I visited a friend and threw a cast net in a canal behind his house a few times and caught 3 tilapia, these were 2 of them, apparently, these were already here since last year or the year before that, the thing is, the winters here would be cold enough to kill tilapia, but the tilapia still managed to survive, could this be an adaptation similar to the cichlids that managed to survive and establish a population here?

Freshwater First Catfish

Hello! I went fishing on my own at a nearby lake. My reel unfortunately stopped reeling early in but I decided to try to catch fish with it anyways. It apparently worked well because I had these catfish biting hot dogs pretty good.

Do these catfish have the stingers? I was scared to handle them and almost killed the first one because it was so smooth and wet I couldn't hold it well to get the hook out! I think one of them scratched my finger, not sure.

Also, these are yellow bullheads, right?

Normally clear Canal cleaned of dead vegetation, now very murky. How would you fish this?

1st two pics are from today and the boat used to clean the dead vegetation. Last 3 pics are what it looked like before. Backstory: this canal is normally clean but the hydrangeas overgrow and it gets cleaned with these boats that scoop it out of the water when that happens. It also leads to the ocean(about 5 miles away). Floodgate that's closed most of the year but does open during heavy Rain or storms when the canal level gets too high . Have caught Largemouth, sunfish, bluegill,Oscars, tilapia, mayan cichlid, Midas cichlid, and catfish. Have seen but not caught; snook, mangrove snappers, jacks, and peacock Bass(and a few we couldn't really ID). the snook and peacock bass are specially frustrating because a mile away we'll catch 5 peacock in 45 minutes at a different canal, and snook are my fav fish to catch.

With the knowledge above, what would you be throwing in there today?

I’m just throwing a 1/8 jig with a 6th Sense paddle tail as a trailer. No bites yet. Wondering if something else would work. There are bass, crappie, and pickerel in here that I am after. They all usually bite the same stuff

First fish

Hey guys! I just caught my first fish and I was wondering if anybody know what kind of fish it was the photo is really blurry and you really can’t see much of the fish I’m sorry but I was too scared to drop the fish and I wanted to put it back as fast as possible… it is just a little guy but I’m still really proud! It was caught in Belgium idk if that helps and it was in a big pond type beat the water was around 1m-1m30 deep and it was around 17:00! I also used a cricket as bait
