    Default Put Away the Long Rods and Brought out the Ultralight


    Charles and I are in a bream tournament this coming Saturday, so we needed to get in a little practice. Put those 16' and 18' crappie rods in storage and brought out the ultralights. Ounce for ounce, these bull Coppernose bream fight about as good as any fish you can catch. Jim went with us and it was his first time ever catching a Coppernose. He lives on a small lake in Raleigh and he has never seen such fighting fish.

    We kept a few to eat, but am hoping to go back soon and fill up that cooler. With the spawn about to happen, it should be fun and tasty.

    Love me some bluegill, but I'd have to target the perch. YUM!
