buckernstfishing — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 13:26:10 +0000

WELL, FALL IS IN THE AIR AND TIS THE TIME TO FISH TOP WATER AND DEER HUNT. OUR POND TOP WATER BITE IS OFF THE CHARTS IN THE MORNINGS. WE ARE AVERAGING 15- 20 FISH EVERY TWO HOURS ON TOP. THE STRIKES HAVE BEEN VERY VIOLENT. FISH HAVE BEEN BETWEEN 2-5 lbs WITH ALREADY 3 FISH IN THE 8 LB RANGE OVER THE LAST WEEK. COME ENJOY FISHING A PRIVATE 55 ACRE WATER SHED FOR TROPHY BASS .

NOW IS THE TIME TO TROPHY BASS FISH IF YOU WANT TO CATCH HAWGS ON TOP.

ALSO, HARTWELL IS DOING GREAT AS WELL- AND IT WILL ONLY GET BETTER. HYBRIDS ARE REALLY SHOWING THEMSELVSE . OCTOBER SHOULD BE GREAT.

5-29-11 MASTER CASTER/MASTER CARPER

FIRST GAR OF THE YEAR

TODAY I WAS GRACED WITH THE PLEASURE OF FISHING WITH THE GREAT ERIC COOK FOR SOME FUN FISHING TOGETHER. BEING THE GREAT HOOCH CARP MASTER THAT HE IS, WHEN HE HEARD ABOUT WHAT I HAD GOING ON WITH THE TOP WATER BITE, HE HAD TO COME.

AS I HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT BEING CLOSE TO OVER, WELL, THAT IS NOW HAPPENING. THE BUGS ARE NOT AS THICK AS THE ONCE WERE, AND THE FISHING HAS SLOWED A BUNCH. ERIC DID MANAGE 6 FISH IN THE NET INCLUDING ONE MIRROR CARP. WE HAD PROBABLY 15 OR 16 SHOTS AT FISH BUT DID NOT CONNECT ON ALL CASTS- YOU SEE, EVEN WHEN YOU PUT A MASTER CASTER IN FRONT OF FISH AND THE ADRENILINE KICKS IN, THEY

ERICS FIRST EVER MIRROR CARP

SCREW UP JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.

WE DID HAVE A BALL TOGETHER, AND I CAUGHT A GAR PUSHING 49″ LONG. WE WILL NOW BEGIN POLING THE FLATS FOR TAILERS AND MUDDERS- STILL AN AWSOME WAY TO SIGHT FISH.

5-25-11 DYNAMIC DUO

MR GORDON AND MR DOUG FROM AFFC CAME OUT TODAY TO SIGHT FISH TO CARP ON DRY FLIES. I CAN SAY WHAT A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL OF US. THESE ARE TWO GREAT GENTLEMEN AND PRETTY DARN GOOD FLYFISHERMAN I MIGHT ADD. WE HAD SEVERAL DOUBLES TODAY AND ONE TIME HAD TWO IN THE NET AND ANOTHER ONE HOOKED UP. TODAY THE BITE STARTED OFF VERY SLOW. MY USUAL FISH HAVE DISAPPEARED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF BUGS. PLUS THE WIND GOT UP TO 15MPH OUTSIDE SO I WAS FORCED TO LOOK ELSWHERE. COVERED ABOUT 5 MILES BEFORE FINDING GOLD. TODAY THERE WERE NOT WAKING DO TO THE CHOP, THEY WERE RUNNING 6-8 INCHES UNDER BUT WERE STILL WILLING TO CRUSH THE FLY. WE TOTALED OUT AT AROUND 25-27 FISH, NOT SURE OF THE FINAL COUNT. BIG FISH OF THE DAY WAS 6LBS.

THE HATCH IS STEADILY COMING TO AN END, 1 WEEK MAX LEFT. BETTER HURRY!!!!

buckernstfishing — Mon, 23 May 2011 00:31:30 +0000

BUGLE LIPS

BLUE SKIES, CRYSTAL CLEAR GREEN WATER AND 95 DEGREE TEMPS. ITS AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET TO SIGHT FISHING THE OCEAN OTHER THAN LACKING THE SMELL OF THE SALT. THE CARP SAGA CONTINUED TODAY AS REX AND I HAD ONE OF THOSE DAYS THAT ONLY COME ONE OR TWO TIMES A YEAR.

WE CAST AND CAST AND CAST TO CARP UNTIL WE WERE TOTALLY WORE OUT. WE ALSO OBTAINED A GREAT SUNBURN IN THE PROCESS. WE PUT 42 FISH IN THE NET TODAY FROM 2LBS TO 9LBS. ALL WERE CAUGHT ON TOP WATER SIGHT FISHING THE CICADA HATCH. WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET A TREAT TODAY AND CAUGHT 4 BEAUTIFUL MIRROR CARP- THEY SEEM TO FIGHT A LITTLE BIT HARDER THAN THE COMMON CARP. THIS IS TRUELY AN EPIC EVENT THAT SHOULD LAST A COUPLE OF MORE WEEKS. THIS IS THE ULTIMATE TRIP TO PREPARE YOU BEFOR YOU GO ON A COASTAL TRIP AND WILL PREPARE YOU IN SPOTTING FISH, MAKING LONGER ACCURATE CASTS QUICKLY, AND FIGHTING HARD PULLING FISH- THIS WILL ALL MAKE YOUR SALT WATER TRIP MORE ENJOYABLE. AND IF YOU ARE ON A TIGHT BUDGET THIS YEAR YOU CAN SAVE LOTS OF MONEY AND STILL GET YOUR SALT FIX BY TAKING ONE OF THESE TRIPS.

BIG FISH OF THE DAY

5-21-11 CICADA MADNESS

THIS WEEK I TOOK BILL AND LARRY ON THE RIVER AND HAD A GREAT TIME. WE CAUGHT HYBRIDS, SEVERAL STRIPERS AND AN EPIC 21 RIVER BASS. IT WAS A GREAT DAY WITH LOTS OF FISH. LARRY HAD A RIVER BASS SLAM WITH A WHITE, HYBRID, STRIPE, AND RIVER BASS(GREEN FISH).

THE CICADAS ARE IN FULL SWING AND THE CARP FISHING IS AT ITS BEST. SIGHT FISHING TO WAKING CARP THROWING CICADA FLIES( BIG FLIES I MIGHT ADD). WE BOATED NUMEROUS FISH IN THE 4 TO 7 LB RANGE ALONG WITH A 13LB MONSTER ON A 4/5 WEIGHT BUG LAUNCHER BY TFO.

5-14-11 CARPIN TRIP

buckernstfishing — Sat, 14 May 2011 19:52:42 +0000

WITH THE CICADAS IN FULL BORE I TOOK MY SON AND HIS FRIEND WHO HAS NEVER FLYFISHED BEFORE CARPIN THIS MORNING. WE WHERE THROWING TOP WATER CICADAS I TIED UP A WEEK AGO. THESE FISH ARE WAKING LIKE REDFISH AND LITERALLY ATTACK THE FLY LIKE A MISSLE THROWING WATER AS THEY PUSH ON THE FLY. WE ENDED UP WIT 9 FISH INCLUDING A SURPRISE 3LB LARGEMOUTH. LONG ACCURATE CASTS ARE A MUST, THESE FISH ARE IN GIN CLEAR WATER AND ARE VERY SPOOKY. 10-12 FT LEADERS ARE NEEDED SO YOU DO NOT LINE THE FISH. THIS PATTERN SHOULD LAST FOR A COUPLE MORE WEEKS UNTIL THE CICADAS ARE DONE AND GONE. THIS IS FRESHWATER SIGHT FISHING AT ITS BEST.

MOST FISH WERE BETWEEN 3-7 BS AND THE LARGEST FOR THE DAY WAS A 15LBER THAT US WRAPPED UP IN THE MOTOR AND CAME UNBUTTONED.

I HAVE HAD SOME FREE TIME THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS AND HAVE GOT THE CHANCE TO DO SOME FISHING ON MY OWN. I HAVE FOUND FISH EVEREYTIME I WENT. STRIPERS ON EVERY TRIP, SEVERAL GOOD HYBRIDS, AND ON A COUPLE TRIPS I HAVE GOT SOME GREAT RIVER BASS. THE FISHING IN ALL HAS BEEN GREAT. MOST PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR SPRINGTIME FILL AND HAVE LEFT THE RIVER WHICH MAKES FISHING THIS TIME OF YEAR A PLEASURE. THE CICADAS ARE SOUNDING OFF EVERY DAY LIKE SIRENS ALL UP AND DOWN THE RIVER, ITS ALMOST LIKE TINITAS ( RINGING IN THE EARS). I CAN’T WAIT TILL THEY START FALLING ON THE WATER- WHAT A TOP WATER BITE THAT WILL BE. HERE ARE SOME PICS

In between clients I had time to do some scouting with my daughter. Its has been kinda of slow lately- it seems to be a day to day bite. Off and on seems to be the norm this year with the crazy weather we keep having. But, with all that said, the fish are there and they can be caught just not in huge numbers(hybrids and stripers that is).

April and May sould be killer months, I am looking forward to some great fishing this summer.

WELL, WITH ALL MY RIVERS STILL BLOWN OUT TILL NEXT WEEK I DECIDED TO TAKE A TRIP NORTH FROM HERE AND GO AFTER THE ELUSIVE WALLEYE. IT TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR TO FIND THEM IN THE RIVER. WHEN WE DID WE GOT ON SEVERAL OF THEM IN A SHORT TIME. WE LEFT THAT SPOT TO FIND A ANOTHER JUST LIKE IT, AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT- MORE WALLEYE. THROW IN SOME YELLOW PERCH AND IT MADE FOR A GREAT SHORT 2 HOUR TRIP.

THEY ARE DIFFINATELY NOT THE GREATEST FIGHTERS THAT WE HAVE AROUND BUT IT STILL FUN, AND THEY ARE EXCELLENT EATING. SOME OF THE BEST EATING FISH WE HAVE IN GEORGIA WATER(FRESHWATERS).

OUT OF TOWN TILL SUNDAY PM, MONDAY I WILL GET BACK ON THE HOME WATERS TO FIND SOME STRIPES/HYBRIDS. IT IS FOR SURE TIME FOR IT TO BE GOING OFF IN A BIG WAY. STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT REPORT.

ITS WHATS FOR DINNER!!
