I ordinarily try to go fishing once a week, but because the long flood is finally over I have gone several times in a row. The fish are still biting. I caught dozens of fish all four days - Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. All of the fish are fat and healthy, with the biggest running just under 8 inches. As a bonus I caught several small channel catfish before daylight. Most of the fish were released, but I kept the ones I deep hooked plus several I gave to fellow fishermen who wanted a fish fry.

The bigger fish were suspended at about four feet.

Now I will go back to my Wednesday schedule.

Awesome stringer of fish! Good job Sir!




Side Note: Been catching a bunch suspended also in my neck of the woods. Looks like the Gills are getting in their fall mode to eat up before the cold of winter sets in.

I have to call BS on smithaven. He caught at least one over 8 inches. I was the benefactor of taking home some of his keepers and I'm 90% sure he caught the one shown in the pic and I had already cleaned a bigger fish. He had about 30 good fish in the basket when I left compared to my 8, so he was nice enough to give me some. Big thanks to smithaven, he let me use one of his floats, gave me #8 hook and even set my rig up for me as I was unprepared for the situation. I didn't realize it was him but found out afterwards. Great guy with a wealth of knowledge and very generous. They don't make too many like him anymore!

I totally agree with ya. "Smithaven" has shared some super knowledge on the Sunfish over the years that I have been on this forum! He also knows how to catch his fare share of Rainbow Trout!

Nice stringer of fish "Smithaven"! Also nice gills "JigandJeep"! Good job guys.

Nice Gills!
