Checked in, sat around for a bit and decided to go fishin for lil while. First cast and



Youre not a sunfish! (except he is)

Caught a few nice bassgills and a bunch of these





All fish released. Caught on grubs, spider jigs and gulp alive minnows fished on 1/64 oz jigheads 18" under floats.

That second blugill is the first fish ever for my wife! She ended a 2 hour session with 6 bluegill, 2 catgills and a bassgill. I had a few bass and 8 or so gills. Awesome start to the weekend.

The wind did a 180 rendering yesterdays spot unfishable. Took me a while to find them this morning. But I did! Released maybe 15-20 in 90minutes. All fish were caught on a lunker life brim buster in olive/brown.

I caught a shellcracker first cast, but never found another one. Caught a hand full of half pound bream, but could not find them in bunches. I was fishing in 3-4 feet of water w/ crickets. Anyone else having any luck?
