The evening bite.
Headed for VFW Lake yesterday hoping to get in on some bluegill action. While the size was not there that I wanted the numbers were. Had dozens of fish with some at the 7-8 inch mark...had one decent shell cracker. Also caught my first ever green sunfish out of that lake. Been fishing it many years and never caught any. This could be a good thing....if they grow....or it could be bad if they overpopulate the lake. It is a small lake at only 22 acres. All fish caught on a Sow Bug colored Trout Magnet using a 1 gram Daiwa Gekkabijin jig head with a #10 hook. I used the Eradicator 6’ 7” Slow Taper Special and on that rod fish this size are a lot of fun. Even though it was late evening it was hot and humid down in that basin with nary a breeze blowing.....and horse-flies as big as marbles. Had the place to myself for 3 hours. Life is good!
Regards

That 1/20 oz jig should load and cast pretty far on that rod. Nice pics.

Evening is great. Late afternoon with an insect hatch and you got the sunnies. A little later yellow perch and then the last hour before dark and the first bit after are witching hours CRAPPIES! About the time the sun reaches the tree tops a white mini rattail shad fished right at the edge of visibiity (usually under the top layer of sunnies and watch for it to disappear.
I stayed too late Wednesday night and the vampires came out. The mosquitos drove me off the water and yesterday and more today my arms and hands itched like the devil. I just plain and simple lost count of the bites. Those are the only draw back for evening panfishing. I shoulda used a little Deet.
