I am a Fish Chaser!

[Darth Wader]

Fishing has always been a big obsession, ever since I was 4 years old
when I was a teenager, it was too much, all I cared about was going fishing, watching fish, drawing fish, neglecting pretty much everything else, including school work unfortunately.everyone in school called me "fish" too haha
I am a lot more balanced now LOL but still get out on the lake every weekend, my favorite is when the lakes are frozen, I can cut a hole in the ice and pull fish out from under my feet! Plus my fishing merges with another obsession, digital photography. I take so many pics it drives people nuts sometimes, hundreds in a day sometimes, out of those two or three might be good enough to put in my blog.

here are some of my fishing pics here

I used to be an avid trout fisherman. I've fished all over the Sierra Nevada, sometimes weeks at a time. There is really nothing like hiking into the wilderness and fishing / camping.

I love fishing off the harbour and bay beaches around Sydney. I think an aspie obsessed with fishing has the capability of getting pretty good at it - I can talk endlessly about the importance of all the various factors like tides, phases of the moon, rainfall, water clarity, line class, sinkers, bait, cloud cover, water depth and so on.

I only got into fishing in my mid 20s after I read a book by Rex Hunt (an Australian celebrity fisherman).

Welcome, and I look forward to hearing some of your fishing tales.

I got out for a day of panfish chasing with lawrence, who I met at the NAIFC tournament in febuary.
we hit a couple of spots he has done good in earlier in the winter, and had some action from mostly smaller fish with a few decent ones mixed in.
Then we hit the inside edge of the big community hole, and found very slow action with only a few small sunfish. We decided to hit some new spots that haven't been fished all winter. the first was a bust, drilling 20 holes and not even seeing a fish on the flasher.
We moved in towards another shore about a hundered yards and tried again. we had fish right away with me losing a large bluegill near the hole.
Lawrence had some holes cut a bit shallower and really started nailing the crappies, so I moved that way and joined him for non stop action for 2 hours or so. They were almost right under the ice and quite aggressive. We got our fish on little atom jumbo wedgees, but they were hitting so hard I could have cast a 8th oz roadrunner down the hole and caught them. I was hoping for more bluegills mixed in though, so we stuck with the smaller baits, and got some good gills mixed in with the slabs.
Lowell came out and some of lawrence's friends too. the fishing slowed a bit but we still were getting em good. Another feeding frenzy toward the end of the day and we had to leave the bite to get off the lake befrore dark!
