What type of fly are you using at this time of the year? I’ve been trying here and there with streamers.

I looked through dozens of fly tying books and I can't find that pattern Pygmy.... I won't even talk about what pops up in an internet search for that .

Finally got out on the ice yesterday afternoon.  By the time I got some stuff done around the house the wind had picked up.  It was blowing 17mph with gusts over 20.  Hit a bay in the Champlain Islands and picked up a couple meals worth of pumkinseeds and bluegills.  Not many fish around yet, but the ones that were there were nice.  Looking forward to late season.  There was over 20" of ice where I was, so we have a ways to go.

Solid haul! Pro Tip: have @Pygmy and @Robhuntandfish clean them, it really cuts down the time and effort

Ok this is a new one for me, Fishing in Florida in Tampa Bay and I catch some weird fish which no one could identify, finally someone said it’s a Diamond Lizard Fish. I can check that off my bucket list.

Looks like a walleye bred with a snake! The ocean is wild.

Spent the last 11 or so days in Clearwater / St Petes.  Did a deep sea fishing trip out of John's pass and did well on grey snapper.  Also caught a few catfish off the pier in Safety Harbor and Kelly caught a ray about the size of a garbage can lid.  No pics of the ray as it broke off at the side of the pier .  All in all, it was an excellent trip with beautiful weather every day

Never had a snapper I didn't like..... Probably a good thing the ray broke off...You didn't have to deal with it....hehehe...

Did you try eating eating any of the sea catfish  ?   I have always put them back because nobody seems to keep them, but after catching and releasing some more this spring, I did some reading on them and learned that some people had eaten them and said they were better eating than fresh water catfish...If I go back down next year I'm going to filet some up , fry them and try them...

Most saltwater fish is better than freshwater fish.

Interesting thought if comparing comparable fish….
Weakfish vs trout
Porgy vs Crappy
Striper bass vs LM Bass (maybe walleye)
Blue fish vs pickerel

Ive been going down to clearwater for the last 15 plus years and have fished every year. I even have a condo down there. Let me know next time you go there, Ill let you know of some good spots to hit. That pier in safety harbor is decent if you know where to throw
