We went to the in-laws for the weekend so I brought the boat along. Hit Dogwood Lake this morning and had a ball. Found gills on the beds and man did they slam the jigs I have been making... hit three sets of beds and then chased the redear. Found them in 16-18 fow and caught 30+ears... kept a total of 16 fish for a nice fish fry this evening.
Released most of the big redear (caught several between 10 - 11 inches). Here is a picture of my best redear to date right at 12 inches. She was gut hooked so I kept her... full of eggs.
