My 2012 Open Water Fishing

[topwaterbass]

Had a great year that started in late Feb and went until the end of Oct. Got to meet and fish with some really great people. Caught alot of different species that I normally don't fish for much any more. I can say it was a blast and the memories will be with me forever!

this is my pb largemouth 6lbs 4oz caught on one of my spinnerbaits that I made a hour earlier.

This is a nice 3lb+ smallie that I caught on one of my mini chubs. I got a 4lber on a ul a week earlier but my phone was dead and did not get a pic.

crappiehunter helped me get onto some pike had a blast this is my pb 24" northern.

got into some big gills one day that I think the 2 9in that i got were my biggest ever. This was a very fun day. After I caught those big gills I caught over 10 keeper sized largemouth on topwater baits.
Can't wait till next spring to meet new people and make more memories.

I'd say you definitely had a good year. I fished a lot this year, but typically in the same spots. I have told myself that I am going to get out to more spots next year and try fishing different areas. I'd really like to catch some smallies, northerns, trout and musky. I'd also like to get on some walleye, but I'm thinking that would require a few days on Lake Erie to really get a good mess of them.

I always say no matter were you ar there is good fishing to be had. I would say there is some good walleye near you somewhere.

There is walleye in Lake Monroe, but having no boat makes it tricky to find them.
