K, thanks. I took those with a Sony Cyber-shot 8.1 megapixel camera.

For a $250 camera I’m pretty impressed with it.

lol Odie! Actually, they’re all different fish though. Has it been six months yet?

Thanks Dave. I’ve always had really good luck on anything chartreuse colored. A few years back all I used to fish with was a chartreuse colored spinner bait. Tuesday evening out at the river I caught all of ‘em right at sunset, and yesterday I caught all of them before 0700. I’ve always liked fishing at dawn and dusk, unless I’m out on a lake with a cooler full of beer. Given that scenario I can fish all day! lol

Tex Mex,

Rob is definitely one of the best I’ve fished with. His biggest assets as a fisherman, IMO, are patience and the willingness to try something else. For example, I’ll fish a spot for so long (probably longer than most) but if I don’t catch something within a certain amount of time, I’m on to the next spot. Rob will stay there and end up catching something. I’m also partial to sticking with what’s worked in the past at each particular body of water and I know for a fact that’s cost me a few fish. Rob will try different lures and different colors, and by doing so, usually catches more bass than the other people around him.
I’ve never had a lot of luck with the chartreuse-colored spinner baits either except on that small lake on 82 where I think those small bass will hit about anything you throw at them.

Rob,

Looks like you’ve been tearing them up lately. I never had much luck with the chartreuse colored stuff in Korea except for plastic centipede worms in the Nakdong river in Pusan. Are you catching them all in the early early hours before the sun or even light comes up?

If the lake stays low like this through next weekend, I may pull out the long rods, lantern, get some cut bait, and try some nightfishing for some cats or what other types of bottom predators they have here.
I brought three 11′ surf rods here with me each with about 330 yds of 30# mono. Plus I have a couple of the Korean 3.0m telescopic carp spinning rods.
Been meaning to try to fish the surf at Janggyeongri Beach or Simnipo Beach on Yeongheungdo Island (top left corner page 27 of the atlas). With that new bridge built a few years ago, we can now drive all the way out there without taking the ferry.
May have to check it out soon, especially if the freshwater fishing comes to a halt.
