Got into some nice shellcrackers and Gills a week ago Friday.
4wt glass fly rod and Woolly Buggers, Pink Bugger late day and Orange & Chartreuse in the morning did the trick. Kept 6 for the table.

Bet those crackers were a hoot on the flyrod .
About time I got one of my flyrods out and put them to use .
Sounds enjoyable. Thanks for sharing
Oh yeah, had to put them on the reel and use the drag with the bigger ones. Definitely has me addicted to panfish on the fly.
Nice bro , one of my longtime buds tried to get me to join them on a new gig , chasing sunfish with fly rods , small world bro
KABOOM
Very vibrant colors for sure! Thanks for sharing
That's how I catch them for striper bait only with a sponge spider.
Some nice fish Nathan. I also love the buggy whip but hate the trees I always seem to find. Even better when a surprise fish takes a bite of your little offering. A 4wt is perfect for them. I landed a 5+ largemouth years back on a betts popper, and the rod was junk but all,I had at the time. So much fun and quite a challenge.
Been doing good with the fly rod on bluegills but catching chinquapin (shell crackers) on fly rod is a rarity for me.
Made it out to do lil hopper dropper fishing with 4wt glass rod. Didn’t catch anything of size but man are these little guys beautiful.

Are you using a sink tip line, or ???
I’m using a Weight forward 4wt floating line. I use nylon tapered leader, but I do have some sink tip leaders.
