Thread: Sunfish to the rescue

I was truckless 2 days this week and depended on where I could get to the water in this heat without not making it back
I tried without success to ketch crappie at a spot I normally find crappie this time of year but to be sure I cant get one to bite in that spot so far this year .
So I thought well I am pretty sure I can put on a small jig and work it along the shore and at least ketch something .
Sure enough sunfish to the rescue it was and for sure they pulled well .
I did have a nice black bass roll on my float right by my feet as well and I think I saw a smaller one take a swipe at my jig one time .
about 16 inches deep along a rocky shore line in about 2 to 3 foot of water was where I managed to ketch them .
I used the creep it along back to me after long parallel to the shore casts presentation .
I wasn't totally alone in the shade under the bridge though and an old mud turtle hung around with me while I was there.
Yes I noticed the native bluegill looks like it missed being some other fishes dinner by a whisper …..
have a great weekend and stay cool and safe

Nice green sunfish and the rest! Love it when they bend my rod.
