Monday shore fishing

I caught a few nice variety of fish from the shore today onan outgoing tide. Caught and released 7crappie, 18 yellow perch, 9 gills, and 2 pickerel. Fished a bobber 4 feet deep with a small silverice jig tipped with plastic. Hot color of the day was orange, my favoritecolor. Here are a few pics I took just to rub it in on a buddy that had towork.

looks alto like a trout or crappie "Magnet"

Way to go, nice fish. I've been trying the upper potomac at point of rocks and bellow the dam #4 for walleye and blue gill (never caught a crappie there yet) but nothing yet, I think for a successful day I will have to plan the arrival time a little better, since most times I show up after work.
Btw the pic looks like a trout magnet jig, but I'm crappie aren't aware of it in that river.:biggrin

Can't believe the perch did not go home for dinner. Down here they are too small to fool with, but the bigger ones are fine eating. Had some at a restaurant in Ohio and could not decide if walleye or perch were better, then found out they are first cousins.

The orange plastic lure is a crappie worm. It's a lot thinner than a trout magnet. I was using it on a small ice jig.

I didn't have enough time to clean any fish since I had toreplace the infighter on my oven. I can't make the wife mad.
