I may be able to catch some brookies soon.

I dont even know what crappies or brookies are! lol. Ive fished for bass, catfish, croaker, bluegill, perch, even mahi-mahi and marlin but I dont know what those ones are!

I usually go brook fishing constantly during the summer. Then slightly less, I go crawdad catching and occasionally lake fishing(mostly for catfish and pike)

About in the 70's today and pretty. I have not been fishing in over 12 years or so. I need to take the kids fishing sometime.

well now there is only about 1 foot of snow and patches of dirt, plus 2-3 foot snow banks. Plan to go to the lake this weekend to see how its melting. May be able to go crawfishing this weekend.

I remember when I was a kid in Mississippi seeing the crawdads in the stream... never could catch them, though. I was always afraid theyd pinch me real good with their claws, like crabs do. Had fun going after tadpoles of course. I tried some crawdads, dont know if Im keen on eating them XD but they are like mini-lobsters. I wouldnt mind getting one for a tank sometime.

Caught a crawldad in a ditch the otherday and Stripes (my fahaka) loved it..lol I use to catch crawldads by the bucket fulls in streams as a kid. Man what a time a puffer or puffers would love eatin them if I could find any puffer way back in those days. That was wayyyyyy back though and just cant find those kind of spots anymore.

The ones I've kept weren't from a stream, but from a lake though I assume care is the same. I kept mine in a dark well filter aquarium with plenty of hiding spots, mine lived in a cold lake so I added ice to the water. Great way to keep them until ready to eat(me not puffer)

i always complain about the weather if its not 75-80, not much humidity and sunny. too hot/cold and dreary days suck

Well we got snow last night.
