Thread: Red Breast and Rock Bass 5/18/18

I took my friend, Gary Fomby, aka Biofisher, to the Riverpark in search of Red Breast sunfish on beds. We caught 13 of those on one small bed that I have fished for years.

We we also caught several Rock Bass aka Goggle eyes, in addition to 5 small crappie and a few Spotted Bass.

The Sunfish were caught on Itty Bitty slab slayers in black, pink lemonade, and blue ice colors on tiny jig heads with a B.B. shot about 12” above the jig. We were fishing 2-3 feet of water.

When end we switched to bass fishing, Gary used one of my pearl 2.5” swimming minnows and I used a 2” Southern Pro natural colors bait. I forget the name of the color. We were fishing in the downtown area of Chattanooga. We could see the Aquarium from the boat. Grin.

Those red breast sunnies are a nice looking fish. You have a good diversity in that river system.
