Thread: Redbreast.

Best part of today is I got to spend it fishing with my son. We hit Nickajack in search of panfish......any specie. The shellcracker appear to be gone. Only one bluegill today but we did find a redbreast bed and we pulled about 24 fish off of it. The redbreast sure have an attitude. They were doing some fighting. Very surprised I am not finding more redbreast and bluegill. Water temps were 77 when we left. I fished with a Palms XUL Area Trout Rod today. While it is a lot of fun......and it is a quality rod......it leaves a lot to be desired in the sensitivity department......especially after fishing with the Fine Tail Banshee.....Finezza Prototype......Tict Ice Cube....up until today. All fish caught on a Sow Bug Trout Magnet using either a 1 or 1.5 gram Daiwa Gekkabijin jig head. My son and I both were using 2.1# test ester mono. My son was fishing a Major Craft Basspara UL I gave him 6 years ago. He was also using the Daiwa Gekkabijin jig heads and he too was deep hooking fish......nothing to bring blood but several fish had the jig deep. This bed was at edge of swimming area. Had they not been doing maintenance and had the area marker pulled back we could not have fished the bed. Turned out to be a great day.
