Fishing for panfish with a willow branch

I caught a few bass and catfish using my trusty roadruner in small creek but I could not get the bluegills to hookup. Thew will usually hit my roadrunner if I reel it in over or near there round gravel beds. Today so such luck so I changed tactics. I had some corn in my car as always because I am more of a Carp angler. I tossed a single kernal in the water and two blue gills fought over it and swallowed the corn in no time. So I got a small gold panfish hook and tied some cheap line onto a willow branch I broke off nearby. Casting was a bit like fly fishing but it worked great. I knew this would pretty much get instant results so I filmed with my phone. This was alot of fun and made me feel like a little kid again. All fish were released. Check out the video of action below.

You'll never go hungry Mike. That was cool.

Cool video. Simple fishing is hard to beat. Good job.




Side Note: Longear and Bluegill were two species of the sunfish caught.

Love it! Beautiful spot and gorgeous sunnies! Every lil' kid oughta see that video... Very well done!

Cool. Thanks for sharing it.

Looks like how most of us started in this sport. I like the distinct spawning bowls in that creek.

Cool video!
