Limit of brown fish for RCC

I was busy this morning taking care of getting new tags for my boats and driver licence. Tried the Bluegill for a change . Anchored on first spot and kept a limit without moving. RCC they are stacked on the bank. I finally finished fillet'n them durn things and wound up with a little over 6 lbs of fillets.

In these tough trying times, its nice to know that crickets are still $2.37 a 100. Good job.

Not up here. I stopped in a bait store up here to buy crickets the first time in eight years since moving up. $1.50/dozen... yep... didn't buy any. Laughed all the way to the ice box and got some worms.

Where can I catch gills like that!

Just about any body of water this time of year. It takes time to find the spawning beds, then it is easy pickins. If you find one and they are hitting and stop, leave the bed alone for a few minutes, go look for another, then come back.

Looks like a serious fish kill to me!!!! ;-)

There are lots of places. I just happen to live close to Nimrod Lake.

Fish your home waters and learn them. Saves you a lot of time and money

Poinsett - Hogue - Wapanacca And if you live in NEA. Go to Reelfoot for the time of your life.

nice

I've asked this before...but if you knew nothing about a lake as far as where to fish for the brims, what would you look for? Do you hit the same flats you caught crappie off of during the spawn and fan cast on the 3'-4' flats and drift for a bite or just idle around the banks looking for beds? Or go along the banks like bass fishermen casting and dragging baits back to the boat on the bottom? Clear water or stained water? etc.

BTW Nimrod, congrats on a great catch.Thumbs Up

Depends on the lake . Here water stained and fish in 3' of water on leaf beds or sand or gravel banks. Some clear deep lakes they maybe in 10' or more on humps.
