Chinquapin/beds

[Sandman]

Anybody found any Chinquapin bedded yet? Going out this weekend with the whole family and will be looking for some. I hope to be baiting hooks and taking off fish!

Sandman I've been on duty for the last 19 days. Have not heard any reports but I will be making my own! Are you going to GB? I might ease that way Fri and/or Sat. I'll be in a gray Triton 176 Sport w/90hp Merc. If you are there with your kids and I know who you are, if I locate fish I will put you on them and then you will be busy! Send me a PM and let me know! HAPPY FISHING!:p

Sandman,
I was fishing the other day and made a cast to a shallow flat. Something hit the cork so I popped it a few inches. The cork took off like a bat out of H___!
That chiquapin was so big I could not put my hand around it. I just knew I had found the Honey Hole. Nope. That was the only one. I will be back later!

I found some huge beds on Toledo Bend a few years back with just Redears and had a ball with them! Haven't tried that spot in the last 5 years though...will hit it this mid-May. Found some fairly large areas holding just Red-breast sunfish (the ones w/long ear flaps) in about 3-4ft of water in a few downed Pine trees on sand/gravel. Actually we were trying to catch trotline bait by the downed trees and they happen to be there...lucky us. They we all about 3/4 lb. but right under a pound.

That spot was never again and I believe it to be from wave erosion.
