Labor Day 2024 - Catch a Bass and Put Her/Him/It back in the Water where they Belong.
Fishing And Talking
It was truly awesome to get outside and on the Lake today at Umstead Park in Raleigh, NC. I made it a quick trip with the goal of catching a nice sized Bass. Mission was accomplished. I will say this episode is an example of how important is is to be prepared when things go unexpectedly wrong. Unless I am fishing for food (only a few times in my life), I always catch and release (A River Monster Jeremy Wade lesson). However, sometimes when fishing the hook gets swallowed a bit by the fish into the deeper regions of their mouth. Thats what happened in today's episode, but thankfully I was...

First 2023 True Bass Catch on Mother's Day (Mother Nature Day)
Fishing And Talking
Made it a quick win today on Mother's day and finally caught that first Bass of the year while recording. Last week Dwayne and I received an assist by a large raptor who dropped the bass. I didn't get a chance to take a picture as I had to take my time removing the hook so as not to hurt his gills or stomach. Felt great to catch a bass on Happy Mother Nature day.

Buddies Dwayne and John Reunite to Fish and Talk
Fishing And Talking
Buddies John and Dwayne get together for the first time in about 1. 5 years. We are here for fishing and talking and decompressing, but of course we are going to talk some tech. We do catch a beautiful Bass together with 100% teamwork (including ourselves and either an Eagle, Hawk, Osprey, or Blue Heron). We sing a little Charlies Daniel's Band "Devil Went Down to Georgia" just as two southern folks remembering a legendary fittle player and song. Only unfortunate part of the trip was that we ran out of recording battery at the end, so our episode sputters out a little on a sad topic about a...

Part Duh!!!! Yes I captured this short 10 seconds after seeing a snake and about 10 minutes after exchanging my bats for my Rod and Real and Tackle Box.
Fishing And Talking
After taking my baseball bats onto the Big Lake at Umstead, and slowly after becoming self aware and returning them in exchange for my actual fishing rod and real, I go back out to UmStead to cast and real, cast and real. Eventually I couldn't even do that anymore (my line snapped), and will be sending the Ranger at Umstead a penalty for leaving a lure in the water unattended.

Today's Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Fin? No, but still trying to do too much
Fishing And Talking
Sometimes you just need a few more days to unwind. I tried and then realized my dang bat bag was on my shoulder. Saw a snake too, but didn't quite get audio or picture. I just went back to my car, and still grabbed the Johnny Morris Lews Combos and got back at it. This is uncut so will be restricted until edited. PG 13 is no longer an accepted assumption so Forgive the slight slip up.

Get out there and Go Fish
Fishing And Talking
First trip out Fishing n the new year. Cracked 50 degrees so had to get on the beavertail stealth sneakboat 2000 and try to catch a lunker. Had a tight Window and just made it out before the gates closed.

70 degrees on February 3rd 2022
Fishing And Talking
It was 70 degrees on Thursday February 3rd, 2022. Didn't have much luck catching bass, but I made it fun at the end as I jumped into the water for a cold bath (Water temperature was under 40 degrees - according to lakemonster.com)
info_outlineMy name is John Howard Sellers. My Brother-In-Law Bryan Gavin Ayers and I started our FishingAndTalking.com Broadcasting on November 25th, 2017. This is it - Episode 1 and my favorite yet.

On that great day after Thanksgiving in 2017, Bryan and I (Tisa was working at the mall) placed my Beaver Tail Stealth Sneakboat 2000 on top of my city slicker Toyota Matrix's Yakama Rack. Then we loaded the Matrix hatchback with my 55lb thrust Minkota electric motor, Bass Pro Power Series 1000 Battery, Fishing Tackle, Johnny Morris Titanium 8 Baitcaster and Rod, WhiteRiver Fly Rod and Reel, my Magical Disney Indiana Jones Hat (made in Kenya but bought at Disney World's Indian Jones Ride in Orlando), Daiwa Samurai Spinning Combo Reel, and drove our crazy knuckle heads to Raleigh's Umstead lake - A.K.A Big Lake. What a great day after Thanksgiving in 2017 it became.

Bryan still joins me from time to time, but he is out in Sandford, NC, so I don't always get him as a guest and often find myself fishing and talking alone on a lake somewhere in the Triangle.
I was raised to be quiet when goiong fishing. Some research shows that verbal sounds above the water don't actually impact your ability to catch fish. Perhaps my Grandmother just wanted me to shut my trap so she could enjoy nature as it was meant to be - Thank you Grandma Vera Weigelt for teaching me the greatest stress reliever in life - Go Fishing!
