Fishhound Fishing Report Froggy Waters Outdoors reports 5 Star Fishing in their November 28 report for the Eno River in North Carolina. Fishing is HOT right now for bass, crappie, white bass and catfish.  Nearly every stretch of the river has active fish, particularly the area below the Red Mill Rd launch. Captain Lain Goodwin says c’mon down to Key Largo, Florida. Redfish and trout are on the flats and the water is clear. Redfish from 20-26 inches are tailing all over, and they’re catching some big trout up to 28 inches. The bite should stay good until water temperatures start dropping below 70. On the Missouri River in Montana, Headhunters Guide Service says that the color pink has started to creep into their daily regimen. It is not required as of yet, but the writing is on the wall. The water temps are still falling about 1 degree every 4 days at a Saturday water temperature of 41F. We can still expect fish to travel to the fly for another couple degrees. We think and hope.

Salmon can use all the good news they can get. Tragic news from Washington – A fisheries worker died last week during a steelhead survey on the Wind River. Mark Snepp, died while walking the bank and recording fish data from his diving partner. Weather Alert: Hurricane Irene is storming toward the coast of Florida, and could have major impacts all the way up the eastern seaboard. Batten down the hatches and secure your boats. More from Washington state, the pink salmon run is awesome, but sockeye returns are dismal. No Lake Wenatchee Sockeye Fishery This Year. Go stick some pinks. In Kansas – 7 lakes are under a Blue-Green Algae warning, more are under advisory status. Blue-Green algae can be fatal, especially to pets, but tend to produce flu-like symptoms. Blue-Green Algae blooms are happening nationwide, it’s not just Kansas. The Fly Fishing industry moves its IFTD show from New Orleans to Reno next year. Back to the mountains for the fly guys.

The CCA and others are building a 4 acre, half million dollar reef near Grand Isle, restoring habitat lost to erosion. Construction is getting underway right now. Bad news in Maryland. Maryland DNR found whirling disease in 8,000 rainbow trout stocked in several Western Maryland streams. Sucky. In New York they’re getting ready for the 30th annual LCI Father's Day Derby on beautiful Lake Champlain, the nation's 6th largest freshwater lake. More than $750,000 is up for grabs in cash and prizes. Massachusetts! As part of a Year of the Turtle conservation campaign, Mary Griffin, Commissioner of the Department of Fish and Game, will help release over 100 endangered Northern Red-bellied Cooters this Friday, May 27 at the Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area in Hanson. Turtle Turtle. Oklahoma – in time for Memorial Day Weekend – don’t boat drunk. Governor Mary Fallin just signed Senate Bill 324, which went into effect immediately - lowering the legal blood alcohol content in Oklahoma from .10 to .08. Colorado – Aurora reservoir put out yet another record fish – this time a SUCKER, earlier this month. If you’re in Colorado and not fishing Aurora reservoir … why not? That place puts out a new state record of one species or another every few months. Amazing lake. In Pro Bass Fishing Dave Mansue of Texas has been elected President of the Professional Anglers Association by the PAA Board of Directors. This week’s Stewardship Tip: Don’t dump your bait. Colorado DNR checked bait shops to see what was in their tanks. Out of 60 shops, only TWO had a single species of fish in their tanks. That means over 95% had “other fish” mixed in with their bait, and it’s those “other fish” we don’t want introduced into our waters. Mem Day Weekend – all the crazies will be out. Be safe. Be smart.

Once a professional dancer, he now has a family who often travels with him to events like the Bassmaster Classic. His incredible rig turns more heads than any other on the Bassmaster Elite Tour, his bright yellow signature products have become breakthrough in the tackle industry, and he's a contender in every tournament he fishes.

Sure, the Bassmaster Classic is called the “Superbowl of Fishing,” but only the B.A.S.S. guys fish it. The FLW Tour and the PAA Tour, they have nothing to do with the Classic. At the Toyota Texas Bass Classic, the best anglers from the FLW, the best from BASS, and the best from the PAA come together to duke it out on Lake Conroe. And this year, Snowden came out on top.

Good news – in Indiana, they put up a giant fence to help keep Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes. Now if we could just get Illinois to follow suit. Bad news – in Maryland, juvenile striped bass counts are down for the third year in a row. Could it be the chicken farms? In Professional Fishing News – Mercury Marine signed on with FLW again. Seems like a flurry of activity over at FLW since T. Boone Pickens signed on. Across the Country – Anglers and organizations are being called out as this year’s inductees to the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. On the list, our friend Dave Genz, Kevin VanDam, the National Fish Habitat Action Plan and Angler’s Legacy. On the Gulf Coast – the Red Snapper bite is on, the season is open now on the weekends. In Kentucky – Lake Cumberland is in better shape than you’d imagine. Low water led to big fish kills earlier this year. People were worried. But a closer look this fall shows populations are as good as they’ve ever been, according to Kentucky Fish & Wildlife. In Arkansas – Ranger Boats is expanding, that means 115 jobs and more boats. Things might just be turning around. This week’s Stewardship Tip – Warm up slow. As the temperatures drop, we’re tempted to let our cars idle to warm up. The most toxic stuff comes out of your tailpipe when your rig is cold, so the less time you spend idling it before you drive it, the better.

He’s been fishing competitively since he was just a little kid, kind of a bass prodigy. As an adult he guides and fishes competitively, he’s a spokesperson for a number of brands like Berkley and Bass Pro Shops, and has even held a tournament director title. But the reason we wanted to have him on the show more than anything is that he’s a great guy who loves to fish and has a million good stories. Plus I just like the way he talks.

In other Good News: Louisiana has re-opened all waters to fishing following the BP Oil Spill. Across the Country: National Hunting and Fishing day is coming up September 25th. The goal? To equip every hunter, angler and sport shooter to more effectively communicate the conservation benefits of traditional outdoor sports. Did you know? License sales and special taxes on fishing and hunting gear generate $100,000 … every 30 minutes. That’s over $1.75 billion a year-for fish, wildlife and habitat? It’s true. On the Gulf Coast the Redfish and Kayak fishing tours are relocating their events within Louisiana due to “logistical issues” presented by the oil spill. In Minnesota – It’s state fair time and August 28 is Sportsman Day. Wish every State Fair had a day like that. This week’s Stewardship Tip – Aerate Your Lawn.

Guest Intro / Interview The first time I went really fast in a bass boat was with Darren Gallaher. I had been in plenty of bass boats, and I had been in plenty of fat boats, but I had never been in a bass boat going really fast, and it was an experience I will not forget. It was terrifying. My butt puckered so tight that it nearly swallowed my cheeks.

You told me a story about fishing some of these local tournaments once – how’d that go? Who have you gone fishing with that we know? I know that you like Deadliest Catch better than Orange County Choppers… You’re actually going to be on MTV’s “Teen Mom” or “16 and Pregnant,” aren’t you? You’ve been at the fishing game a long time, tell us about that. Ever had an animal try to get in the boat with you? Ever fallen out of the boat? You do some work with a bunch of brands and products, I know you do some stuff with our friends at Pure Fishing. Anything new or cool happening over there? Where’s your next fishing tournament?

They’re being over-exploited in many areas because they’re rich in Omega 3 fatty acids. They’re an important link in the food chain, so from the paint you buy to the supplements you take, your choices could be leading to their decimation.

Guest Intro / Interview Bluegills are often looked upon around the country as the fish that got us started, but for many, they’re considered a kid’s fish, not challenging enough. We move on to the predators – bass, muskies, walleye, trout – or the trophies – wild steelhead, monster lake trout. However, there is a contingent among anglers who pursue panfish primarily, and their quest is as challenging as any trophy: the two pound bluegill. Bruce Condello has caught his share, he’s our guest on today’s Fish Schtick – from his vacation spot in Las Vegas, Nevada!

Talk about some of those. > When you’re on the water, you’re battling the elements – ever had any sketchy times? > Your office is a boat and your co-workers are not just other anglers, they’re all sorts of critters. Had any animal encounters out there? > You have roomed with Mike Iaconelli and Ish Monroe – how does that work? > Any good stories for us on living with those guys? > You’ve got a ton of stuff on YouTube.

He goes far beyond catch and release and exposes pollution issues, the front lines of invasive species, and a host of other issues. His current book, Better Bass Fishing (http://www.countrymanpress.com/titles/BetterBassi1.html) provides a more holistic look at the "big picture" of bass fishing. In addition to how-to information, it reveals secrets for becoming a better bass angler through scientific knowledge on bass biology and the effects of weather. Better Bass Fishing encourages a thoughtful approach to fishing and the realization that success is tied to more than just using the right bait. Robert, welcome to The Fish Schtick. First off, how’s fishing? We want to talk about your book, bass fishing, all these conservation issues, but first give us a snapshot of who you are – give us your life story in a few minutes. You know a lot about catching fish, but more often than not, your writing leans toward fisheries and conservation. In magazines full of how-to and where-to articles, yours spotlight issues. Why is that, and why is it important? You’ve been at this game for a while now – how long have you been writing, and what are some of your favorite things to have done? The book – Better Bass Fishing (http://www.countrymanpress.com/titles/BetterBassi1.html) – covers more than what lure to tie on, it mixes science and nature with a more holistic approach, talk about that a little.
