    Default Another one ?


    I find it odd that for some many years I have managed to ketch here close to DFW just a small handful of red ear sunfish ,maybe 3 or 4 total .
    Then all of the sudden I am having one come up in spots I have never seen one ?
    This is the third or fourth one in just the last few months in a spot I never seen one before .
    anyway here is another golden red gill specimen flying some pretty colors .
    pecked my jig and pulled right hard when I hooked it .
    Thunk it was small black crappie till it came up .
    go figure

    They don't reproduce as fast as other bream. Might throw some back. Might not help but surely won't hurt.

    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

    They are great eating and fearless fighters . I target them almost as many days a year as crappie . Name:  9750a9d6-803f-4e2f-ad47-7cc57252f59c.jpg

    Makes you wonder how they spread to different lakes. Only thing I think of is someone put them there. Good fighting fish is good fun.

    An invasion of shellcrackers should be a good thing as long as they aren't disrupting some rare local native fish. I don't target the red ears, but I catch enough of them here in north MS and absolutely love them. They have a good average size and possibly taste even better than bluegill.
