Thread: Trip fell through...

Well i woke up and got ready to go to the pier, but the little bit was feeling sick so we stayed home. I slipped up to my pond for about a half hour of catching then came back to clean a mess.

Also my wife bought me a new Penn for my bday. It's a Spinfisher 8500LL, I know its a bit oversized, but are they pretty good reels? and what type rod should i put it on?

You caught all those bream on a 8500!?

Kidding, those are still one of my favorite fish to catch.

Nice catch Mr. C! It's great to have a dependable go-to spot!

Scales, gut, flour and fry!

id take the reel to J&M and have them set it up with a rod for bull reds, jacks and cobia.

Had a family fish fry Sunday with the whiting I caught a couple a weeks ago and they were really good. My favorite fish to eat from here in Indiana is a toss up between bluegill and crappie. That's a cooler full of fine eating and they are fun to catch. Some people get above fishing for pan fish.....I don't see that ever happening to me.

I'm from north ms and agree on the blue gill and crappie!! Both are really fun to catch also.

Crappie are my favorite freshwater fish to eat. It's about that time to start fishing for those too. I have connections to fish a gravel pit around where I live, all those ledges and debris make it perfect. So many species, so little time.

Snake, my family has a lot on lake Weiss.. There are some serious crappie to be caught there.

Locally though we are on the pearl river in columbia ms, and you can FILL a 50qt ice chest with crappie from the dead lakes when the river is up.(if you ever get ready to fish your welcome to come up and fish with me lol)
