Catching the scraps

The areas I fish , are so heavily fished that I consider myself catching the scraps .
What’s left after the “white bucket crews” have been pounding away and keeping everything and anything that winds up on their hook .
They would have kept the little juvenile gills I caught today .
But , I’m happy to get out for an hour or so and catch something. Especially since it’s so close to home and I had to fish in between showers today .

I took a couple of older rods today , both St Croix UL’s , a 5’ Avid ULF and a 5’ ULM Original Panfish series .
The Avid wore a Soare bb500 and the Panfish an old Sahara 500 fe . Both had Ande Tournament 2# line.
Both cast a 4mm tungsten jig far enough and I really couldn’t tell the difference in the fast action Avid and the Moderate action Panfish .
They both had a nice bend even with the seven 4-5” gills I caught .

That’s ok, it’s all about the tug. Good job

It’s such a shame when folks clean out an area of everything.

It’s better than getting skunked

It's certainly harder finding some decent fish since Covid hit in 2020. Lot more people found out fishing is a lot of fun and they taste good too. Still nice to get out and catch a few, hopefully next trip is better.

Good to see there’s enough to keep you happy and fishing regular. I’ll be glad when things get back to something close to normal.

I love your posts. I’m envious at your frequency with which you fish.

it is about getting a bite in the end ...for me anyway ....
size has never been something I worry about .....
ketchn fish is what I intend to do when I wet a hook .....
keep after them bro ....
