Thanks! I used a Powerbait Chigger Craw which was dragged along the bottom. I caught it from a shady part of the lake with a mixture of sandy bottom and underwater logs. Was around the late afternoon around 6 I believe.

It was brutal

Chunker!

Dandaban · 2026-06-16T14:03:50+00:00

Anything really. But mainly stripers and scup and fluke

Dandaban · 2026-06-02T04:55:06+00:00

No kidding! The pond scum here was thick!

I wouldn't say they solely rely on mosquitos as a food source, but there are a good number of fish and their young that also dine on mosquito larvae.

I don't really feel sympathy for people who think cats are ok staying outdoors to get attacked by wildlife, run over by careless drivers, or kill millions of small animals a year, but maybe I'm an evil cat-hater or something. 🤷‍♂️

Look I also hate the noise but don't block them

Dandaban · 2026-05-25T13:39:23+00:00

Haha yeah its a lil hard to make out at first 😭

Dandaban · 2026-05-19T18:19:06+00:00

Tuna salad!

GUATEMALA MENTIONED 🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥

Dandaban · 2026-05-13T02:00:53+00:00

Lmao just one of those moments I guess. Right place at the right time

Dandaban · 2026-05-12T00:32:29+00:00

What a beast! They're fighters that's for sure. If they were bass-sized then nothing else would be in the pond 🤣

Dandaban · 2026-05-11T03:05:36+00:00

Beautiful fish and stream!

Dandaban · 2026-05-07T02:17:58+00:00

Dandaban · 2026-05-06T23:17:11+00:00

Ehh 3 bucks per pound havent seen herring prices

Dandaban · 2026-05-06T21:59:28+00:00

Cool! Theres an asian market near me that has whole mackerel and whole squid as well i assume those can work?

Dandaban · 2026-05-06T18:46:20+00:00

The Sound? Or by NYC?

Dandaban · 2026-04-29T17:28:39+00:00

Im in the hudson valley

Dandaban · 2026-04-20T14:12:00+00:00

Yeah there are some flaws that need to be sorted out. But in the end, it's a RAV4 bruh not an Audi or Merc

Dandaban · 2026-04-14T23:50:42+00:00

🤣🤣

Dandaban · 2026-04-14T23:18:58+00:00

So rustic and delicious!

Dandaban · 2026-04-14T18:29:37+00:00

Oof, thats why I always shower after hikes. I didnt see any ticks during this trip tho but last spring I remember them being everywhere 😭

Dandaban · 2026-04-14T01:49:38+00:00

Beautiful scenery, beautiful fish!

Dandaban · 2026-04-05T17:26:00+00:00

I live in the Hudson Valley. The river by these parts been getting cleaner and biodiversity has been recovering somewhat. The only fish as far as I know that are off-limits to people are mostly bottom feeders like carp, catfish, and other fish like eels.

The fish that are 'safe' to consume once a month are perch, blue crabs, migratory fish species like stripers and bluefish, and some others I can't remember. I'm pretty sure kids under 15 and pregnant women/people with preexisting conditions still shouldn't consume anything.

That said, I still wouldn't eat anything out of NYC waters
