Finally stumbled into some fish!

I am new to a boat and still trying to finger out how to really read a graph. I am honestly not even sure it's setup right. Last night I pulled up on something that may have been brush and fish. We sat there 2 hours and went through 4 dozen minnows. Went to a CC spoon after.

Oddly, on minnows we caught:
Catfish
Bass
Drum
Perch
Stripper- tons of 12-14" fish
Sand bass
Crappie- tons of 9.5" fish




Forgot to throw the cat back so he got thrown in with the bass. The bass was kept because it wasn't gonna make it after I dug the hook out of him.





This isn't the most fish I've put on the boat but it's the most with a rod/reel. We got board at Squaw Creek the other day and started cast netting Talapia. I put 43 of those puppies on and only stopped because I broke the net.

Pm sent...

> started cast netting Talapia.

Pretty sure you don't want to mention this on internet...

Why is that as it is completely legal.... This is a TPWD excerpt from a story about Fairfield which is another Talapia overrun lake.



The only illegal thing I can think of doing with a Talapia is throwing one back in the water.

my bad. thought cast netting is universally banned for recreational harvesting

not for invasive just have to be gutted before transport. I never understood why people would pay good money to eat trash fish that's often passed off to be catfish.
