Rio-Columbus Day

We decided to fish Columbus Day and we found the Rios extra active and thumping our jigs really hard. Actually all fish were pretty aggressive and full of energy. Most of the Rios were along the edge about a fow. Some Rios were along trees in the water. Sizes ranged from 7 to 10+ inches.













These two are a pair, first I caught the female then I caught her partner.



We also caught redear, lmb, coppernose, and crappie.










We caught all fish on 1/32 JIGLYF jigs dark colors worked best. We released everyone except 3 crappie that we fried up for dinner with a side of Mac and cheese.

We had a great Columbus Day we hope yall did too!🙂
I'll put up a video later today.

Side Note: Fall is the best time to catch Rios.

Thank you Chuck! It seems the Rios are a month behind. We were catching them like this in September last year.

Never thought of Mac n cheese with crappie! May have to try it out!

I looove mac and cheese!

Love those fall Rios. Been a tough year for me as far as catching Rios. Nice post and fish. Love your post.

Thank you Laker One. Our last few trips have been very successful with the Rios. It's just that time of the year.

Love those Rio Slabs! Good post.
