Thread: Micro fishing Photos

I caught a few interesting little ones today in the mix .
Some , the color seemed to be washed out .

The first picture, I couldn’t decide how many different species are in its family tree .
Bluegill ? Redear ? Green Sunfish ?

Micro white crappie. I thought I had hooked a leaf it was so small. Fish was an egg 6 months or so ago.

I’ve gotten a few candidates for this thread lately. In fact, that’s about all I’ve been catching. The little smallies and spotted bass have kept me busy.

Played with the little guys yesterday for a little over an hour .
With the wind like it’s been lately , I need to sharpen my lure swimming skills .
I’m so use to twitching, it’s hard for me to just cast and retrieve.
I chose a 5’2” SeaSir UL rods paired up with a Soare bb500spg and j braid .
Tiny micro spinners was the lure of choice .
At the local docks , I fished the area from the docks towards the bank .
Having a strong wind to my back helped casting the tiny lures .
In just over an hour I caught 18 little gills between 3-5” .
Fun , quick trip .

My fishing partner caught this bass last summer on a lure twice the size of the fish

Back to the docks today with a micro spinners catching micro gills .
Caught twenty bluegills and redbreast youngins’ and a little largemouth.
Of course I was testing out gear . Different rods and reels with either 2# Floroclear or Daiwa J-braid .
Winner today was a 5’ St Croix Premier ULM paired with a Daiwa Fuego LT 1000d with 2# Floroclear .
The Fuego started out on a 5’2” SeaSir ULF , it did pretty good on it too.
I’m probably in the minority, but I could spend hours catching these little guys .
