So this is what a Goby looks like....yuk

Hi everyone, i would like to share my little outing last night..

I started in Hastings at The lock caught a couple of walleyes (released)

when daybreak hit i decided to head home and stop by Scott's Mill Dam,

This is where i caught my first Goby ! When i lifted my rod i was surprised as

i was like what the is this.. After closer encounters with it i realized this is a Goby,

With my polarized glasses on i hook up a earthworm and dropped it back in..

Now this is the crazy thing i saw as i tossed the line back in, I noticed a bunch of fish that were

really hard to see, they within 3 seconds..decimated my worm it had nicks all over....

I caught no walleye there and would like to report and say holy cow the water level is very very low

and clear, as i was heading back to my vehicle i took a quick look in the channel and wow i probably

seen about 6 big smallies just cruising just outside of the weeds...i did not attempt to fish them i was tired

from my journey and started to head home....Father duties call......All in all it was nice to get out a dip the line... Here are some pics....

why did you put the goby back in ??? you are supposed to kill it and feed the seagulls...?????

The Goby was decimated on land by about 200 Ft Lbs Of Force ... was not released !

I put them in an empty Tims cup. Its always funny when i bring it back and ask them for a replacement coffee.

That's a nice idea, I really hate walking out on a pier and finding it littered with dried up gobies.

200ft pounds of brute force is cool !!!!

Hey guys those gobies are great fertilizer, as they decompose they do not stink all that much and feed plants like miracle grow!

Really ???

[Rich]

Yeah, for real.. unfortunately a couple dozen will feed your plants for a season so its not really a viable way to wipe gobies out.. but at least they're useful for something!

waiting for HH to chime in here about the great rose bush fertilizer
