won't go into all the gory details , but to be sure they bit EVERY cast for several hours , most fish were out in deep water as far as you could sling it out there . about zero small ones involved as well , good day to be a sunfish ketcher person for sure :highfive
pretty even mix of boy girl boy girl situation ....:cheers2
love it when you get into the bedding bg and it is constant action till the end. WTG outlaw. did you have your daughter enjoying the action too? my kids always loved that.
Those are some very nice gills, quite a bit of variation in colors.
Wow! Those are some samwich material!

just me standing on a rock , hammering like a machine ,these were actively on bugs and fry and not on beds , the lil lake was just a hopping like wild fire , you would a thunk someone was pitching stones in the water all over the lake.....Quote:

Nice catch ! Nice rod too !

Beautiful pictures!
Those copper nose are pretty fish. Just found out the state of TN has finally decided to try stocking some. Will be interesting to see how it goes.

these are likely several generations , like 20 or so years worth of probably stocked back when coppernose hybridized up well with our native bluegill would be my best guess , I think that is what is causing such a huge diversity in the colorations of them , we have managed some out of that spot that are just purple as can be and yet others look just like a native fish , sure are eye ketchn fish no doubt about it :highfiveQuote:

never was sure if it was fry on the surface or actually insects are maybe even possibly some sort of small blooms , the surface was just totally covered from one end of the small lake to the other with tons of slurping , popping and swirls with some splashes mixed in as well. thought at one point it might have been cotton wood blooms they were eating ? seen carp eat them before ? not sure ....Quote:

that is one of the nicest 6 foot one pc. rods I ever used my friend , I am about to get a second one soon of the newer versions , slightly more expensive, but I am told it is even better than that rod......just sayingQuote:

I started with a large Berkly white gulp minnow and was actually chasing crappie , but the bream wouldn't leave me alone for even one cast , so after they destroyed it I went to a bare jig and a white crappie nibble for a good time for a good while .:highfiveQuote:
