Redbreast…Gills….Shell Cracker….Spots….Crappie….Large Mouth.
While none of the fish I caught today were really exceptional they more than made up for that fact in sheer numbers. And using the Diplomat Extreme 62 UL Area Trout rod made the day exceptional as far as fun factor. The rod was strung up with Varivas ES2 Lemoni Ester line in 2.3# test. Lure was a Bison Trout Magnet on a 1.5 gram Daiwa Gekkabijin jig head with a #8 hook. While no spawning activity is going on at Nickajack yet it may only be a day or two away. Water temps were 71 degrees. Of course the largemouth came out to play due to so many sunfish up shallow. They did give me an exceptional battle with many of them being at the 16 inch mark…and a couple of Spots at the 13 inch mark. The 7 inch redbreast, Gills, and shell crackers gave a good fight as well along with the crappie. This is the beauty of UL angling. After 6 hours on the water…which is unusual for me these days…175 fish were brought to hand. I will burn I24 up next week in search of bedding shell cracker…if the weather cooperates. It’s been like this for me down there the past 5 years. It happens fast and furious and I burn the roads up to get in on as much of it as I can. Have to admit though the driving is really wearing on me.

That water sure warmed up fast, I found 62 last week but not able to fish TN waters this weekend, hopefully next week I will check the status and cooperation of the Panfish up this way. Man that is a great but long day of fishing. Big numbers make for a bunch of good video catches. In VA at the daughters house this weekend and the Panfish are sure enough hungry here, report and pics to come later. Keep burning up that highway, strike while the iron is hot and the fish are biting.

Sounds like a great time. I was out on the water for about 7 hours yesterday, have to admit I was pretty worn out in the evening. I'm lucky that my drive time is only about 10 min.

Great shots of some beautiful panfish.

The hours melt away when you get into that type of action, Randy! Congrats on a really great session. Makes the drive worth it - break out your heating pad at night!
