Ahhh, a Field tripper...

His Cape May episode surprised me. I've fished that exact bridge countless times. Schafer, the guy who took him out, had been very secretive of his methods and holes. For him to show everything on that video was shocking. From everything I've heard, Robert is a pretty stand up guy as well.

Its almost to the point of catching a native fish as a surprise. The Mayan Cichlids eat ANYTHING. Brad balls, lures, shiners, pieces of paper from an old cigarette pack etc. Aggressive as hell and fight fairly decent but fuck em. They don't belong here.

Someone has decided we need walleye in western MT now. Northern Pike and Walleye keep showing up where they don't belong.

I like catching both of them - but they just don't belong in Western MT.

I get that almost all the trout species here are introduced. I believe there is only one strain of rainbow native to western Montana (Redband), Bull trout and westslope cutthroats are native. Browns, lakers, brookies, several strains of rainbow are all introduced. But we have them and they do well in our cold waters. Damn pike and walleye are making a mess of everything. Bucket biologists should be hung, drawn, and quartered.

It’s believed that the bass tournament fisherman from out of state introduce these because they thrive so well. Anything other than Brookies, Togue, and Salmon are “trash fish”.

Luckily, TPWD stocks the lakes with Red Drum and stripers that eat the hell out of them. I used to throw out a cast net and bring in some tilapia, throw them on a hook and be limited out on Reds in less than 30 minutes.

Two new reports..

Nutria spotted on the gulf coast in Florida. Saw it last week during opening week. Interesting, thought it was an armadillo when I was walking towards it.

The other was a hammer head worm in north rural GA. Really don't know how it got to where it was around a rural house. Must have been some potted plant that that the previous owners had brought in. Sucker was long, like 8". Gave it a salt bath.
