Got to spend the whole day on the water Friday. A thin skim of ice in the morning of about 1/4"thick. A lot of sights today, a pair of bald eagle, herons starting to nest, large flocks of migratory ducks, and thisAttachment 150309ive heard it called a sundog but I'm sure that it has other names as well. Ended up with a limit, 1@13",11@12"&13@11".A lot of them came at last light which worked out perfect because the sunset was AWESOME!!!
Looks like an eyeball. WTG Mark glad your on the fish!

The amount of rain can be anything but it will rain. I check the sky every day for those and see them a lot nowadays with all the rain systems we have been getting. When the weather forecast is calling for a chance of afternoon thunderstorms in the summer, I don't pay it much mind unless I see a sun dog. Very good natural forecaster.CF
Sounds like another awesome day on the chick. So, I hate asking this question on the internet because typing doesn't convey curiosity (true intention) it may mask as passive aggressiveness (not my intention). But you have probably tucked away 6-7 limits in '14. That is roughly 300-350 fillets. Do you eat that much fish, give away, freeze etc?...I am just wondering because I love eating theses guys, but not sure I could eat at that clip. Again, nice job on the catching and another good report.
I supply the fish at a fish fry on the third Wednesday of every month. A good friend who passed used to take me rockfishing and supplied for years. Now that he's gone there are a lot of happy people that can continue this event thanks in part to my efforts. This event will need 50-60 filets per. There are also some elderly friends that cannot go fishing that appreciate fresh fish. I also stock up in the winter because I don't have much opportunity to fish during the warm season. I also eat a bunch myself, nothing goes to waste. I actually ran out before my season started this year.Quote:
