Thread: Panfish 1-16

MT Bucket: Saturday panfishin' 1-16

I got out for some panfish chasing and found some in 7 ft in the weeds. I could see them come up through the weeds on my flasher on the low power setting. One inch Gulp! alive fishfry got my fish for me. it was a tough bite, you really had to tease em up a bit to get them to bite.
in the afternoon me and Jack looked for some deep water to get some crappies. We found a few out in 30 ft close to the bottom. they would be slow to come up, but was able to nab a few, nothing of any size though.

First fish for me, a nice 9 inch gill. it was the biggest of the day though.


Pretty perch


Future slab?

Herr Baron- Nice catch of fish. I am especially impressed with your photography skills and clarity and the colors in your pictures... what kind of camera do you use?

Hi Jethro, thanks!
I dont use a great camera, just a cheap point and shoot digital. the main two tricks I use to get nice pics, is
1. take lots of pics! most of my pics are junk, but if I take enough of them, I can pick out a dozen or so to work with.

2. Use photo editing software. I use olympus master, it is freeware you can find on their website.
I do things like sharpen, brighten, crop, enhance colors, contrast, etc...

good luck
