    Default Shellcrackers on bed 5/13/2018


    Dr Phil and I hit the shellcracker beds this morning for a couple of hours or so and had a really good productive time. We kept 27 Red eared sunfish aka Shellcrackers, and 8 bluegills all over 8" and up to a little over 10" on the crackers. We used Bobby Garland Itty Bitty Slab Slayers on 1/48 oz jigs and the hot colors were Black, and Pink Lemonade. All fish that were under 8" were released to grow up and there were several.

    My wife, Wanda wants to hit them in the morning, but we won't keep any under 9". It wore me out cleaning 35 fish late this afternoon. Grin.

    I don't think there is much in life that beats a day on the water catching a mess of shellcrackers off the bed. I'm hoping to take my son in the morning here on Barkley and catch a few, too.

    Nice job!

    YOUR KILLING ME DK!!!

    The blind see and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed and deaf hear; dead are raised up and poor have the gospel preached to them.

    That's a very good day DK. Nice fish, and I sympathize on the cleaning. Somewhere around 10 for me and I have to step away for a bit.
