I took off work today and fished the walleye run on the Maumee River. Not as many people there as I expected. Anyone else getting out of the house?

Apparently everyone in Oklahoma decided to go fishing on their time off. It was shoulder to shoulder but we still managed to catch a few. My niece insisted on keeping one so I helped her cut it up and sent it home with her (why waste freezer space on spoonbill when there's plenty of crappie, sand bass, catfish to catch).

From: JL

Jaq, Glad you asked that question. It looks like not much changed really. Fishing and hunting are "essential". If they close the beach that will take away sunrise surf fishing and metal detecting there.
"The order encourages individuals to work from home.
All businesses or organizations are encouraged to provide delivery, carry-out or curbside service outside of the business or organization, according to the order.
The order also limits gathering in public spaces. Groups of people greater than 10 are not permitted to congregate in any public space.
According to the order, “essential activities” include:
Attending religious services conducted in churches, synagogues and houses of worship. Participating in recreational activities such as walking, biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, running or swimming. Taking care of pets.
The order will be effective at 12:01 a.m. Friday and expires on April 30."

Great fish folks!
Just found out the sneaky bastards opened up Trout Fishing in PA this morning about an hour ago. Was NOT supposed to open until 4/18! Guess they figure by opening up 11 days early and on a Tuesday, it might dissipate some pressure from opening on a Saturday. But with all the folks off work, out of work, or working from home I don't know that it will do much good.
From: Jaquomo
07-Apr-20
Goelk, the way I figure it, if I bring my own food and don't "hug an angler", it doesn't really matter where I go to fish. Experts tell us COVID doesn't spew out the tailpipes of vehicles. We did a 20 mile bike ride yesterday and there were people walking, biking and fishing everywhere in the open space and natural areas. It was pretty crazy.
Randy, I'd love to go to the Reef for a couple days but the Cheyenne mayor just tweet-scolded us about fishing up there. So I guess I'll stay down for a bit. I still remember when Greenies were so despised that our tires would get cut, doors keyed in parking lots.

The first paragraph from a letter from WG&F that I got in an email:
"Dear hunters and anglers- The Wyoming Game and Fish Department understands many of you are unable to travel to Wyoming for spring hunting and fishing because of stay-at-home orders in your home state and the recent 14-day quarantine directive for people entering Wyoming through the end of April. Due to this directive, we ask nonresidents to stay home at this time, unless you can observe the quarantine. These are unprecedented times with rapid changes - but we are here to help."
Sounds like Wyoming is requiring a 14-day quarantine for anyone entering the state.
Guess a guy could quarantine - with proper "social distancing" - on the river or a lake?

I still haven't figured out how to self-quarantine for 14 days before fishing in WY. Does that mean I sit in my camper by Outhouse Hole at the Reef for two weeks, staring out my windows watching people fish, before wading in? How would anyone know how long I quarantined myself?

I have a question for you walleye fisherman. Will the bite keep going most of the night? Or is it just a short lived timeframe when it starts to get dark in the evening. I was going to hit one of our local lakes. I have caught them before along the riprap on the dam.

We hammered them yesterday, just an incredible day for us. The weather was great, the 30 mile sled ride into the area was beautiful and the fishing was on fire. We lost count of the pike we landed, but we all left with our daily limit of 10. Going back for one last trip, the ice is still several feet thick, just need cooler temps at night to manage the overflow and we're good.

I have the same questions, Lou. Exactly what is the protocol for a 14 day quarantine in Wyoming, and how is it being enforced?
BTW, the Outhouse hole used to be one of my favorites on the Reef, but that was way before they built the campground and every yahoo started racing to it. The Reef is still a fun spot to fish, but it isn't half the fishery it was 25 years ago, sadly. Back in day I remember floating from the damn to Government Bridge and not seeing more than few other fisherman all day. I miss those days.

My last straw on the Reef was when I nearly got into a fist fight with 3 guides who told me I shouldn't be fishing the shallow water reds, when they were doing the same thing over reds in deeper water. They've never liked greenies up there, but a greenie with his own drift boat is absolutely despised.

I’ve caught a lot of Spanish mackerel in my life, but Tyler, you’ve caught more world record Spanish than anyone in the world. Congrats. :-)
From: Tyler
28-Apr-20
Joey I believe they are slightly different to the Spanish mackerel in the USA waters. Im not 100% sure and to be honest am not a huge fish guy so don't know much about them, except they are fun to catch and taste great! Our Spanish here in Australia get a lot larger than the ones I posted mine are good ones but plenty out there that are much larger. (Narrow Barred Spanish Mackerel) is the more specific name.
From: Joey Ward
28-Apr-20
Tyler, yours looks a lot like the king mackerel we catch off the coast of the Atlantic and Gulf. We can catch them just off shore or in deep water. They are often caught by guys using kayaks just off shore. Along with what we know are Spanish. And you’re right, hooking up with That size from a kayak are a great fight. More often than not, kings that big are released back because since they are pelagic fish, there is a fear of mercury contamination. But they are a good fish to eat and are usually cut cross section into steaks and smoked on the grill.
A quick google search search indicates the Mackerel you caught could be the Blue mackerel.
Anyway, nice catch.

Troy I've hit the big lake three times this spring and each time has been amazing. Also three different locations. So each trip I've had to find them and act accordingly. First two trips was predominantly jig and salted minnow bite. This last trip on Sunday the gravel lizards were in full chow mode. They just wanted to eat. Jig and a saltie worked just fine but a paddletail swimbait outperformed all for bites. Flutter spoons consistently produced larger fish. I caught a 29.5 on a 5" flutter spoon tipped with a whole minnow, and my 29.25 came on a 5" swimbait. Lipless rattlebaits that are dynamite in the winter have been "OK" at best. Caught a couple on cranks, but when a jigging bite is on there's nothing I'd rather do than set the hook 400 times which is what was the case on Sunday. I've never felt walleye hit that hard. Some would hit so hard they nearly pull the rod from your hands. It is quite something when a walleye attacks and initiates the drag on your reel with it's bite. What a truly fantastic fishery. (When it isn't windy)

Any of you ever fish Devils Lake for walleye? I usually go to MN or Canada but have always wanted to give DL a try.

The resorts I saw on DL it looked like you had to launch your boat each day you fished. I probably misunderstood that.

RockyD ... with the new regs in place it’s been hard trying to fill those slot size fish .. 28-35”..most have been way too big ! Makes for great memories if you’re looking for that 40-50lber though.

From: Hammer

Hey t-roy... they really are good to eat ! Meat’s white and firm , more “steak like” than fish . The charter took it all home with them , except for a nice piece I kept for the BBQ ! Lol

I took my 13 y/o daughter On a 6 day float trip down an essentially unfished River in the NW Brooks range of AK. Phenomenal al sights and more Dolly Varden and grayling than you could catch. Awesome trip. She caught a fish about every successful cast that she got more than 10 feet feet from her person. I wish I enjoyed fishing more. This place is a fly fisherman’s paradise.

Can't believe I missed this thread. Great photos everyone. Looks like quarantine well spent. Haven't got out much in Florida, they closed our boat ramps locally for a while, but we managed a few days on the water.

I got this last time I was out. I had crossed lines trolling and thought I had a small mess. Turned out it was this. Don't know how it happened.

Thanx Bou’...there’s been a ton of real big Bass around . Makes for a nice picture and a quick release. Only problem is trying to find the right size that we can keep ..tough when they’re all too big ! Lol

Bahamas trips were going good till lighting hit the boat. How to kill 3 1/2 days in the middle of the summer.Thats how long it took to get towed back to the US.Thankfully we didn't lose the generator,AC,Refrigeration. This was our tow for the next 3 plus days.

As I said it took over 3 days at 5knots to get back to the US.Numerous storms,wind,currents along the way.But you do find out if you get along when stuck together on a floating RV.

That was actually a little slow but all we caught was barracuda since we were on the Bahama bank(shallow water).The one day we got to fish was awesome 2 marlin,yellowfin and blackfin tuna box was about full.

Caught that fish and 3 of its 30# buddies (limit) on the Outrider from Fisherman's Landing, San Diego, CA. I would recommend those guys without question. They are a very limited load operation. Max 11 anglers on a 50'x16' boat. They fish hard and have fun doing it.
