Thread: Blacknose Brad

Squirrel Hunter stopped by this afternoon to pick up some vegetable plants, and we decided to shoot over to the Nottoway for a while.
We went back to the area that I did good on Thu. Stayed there for about an hour or so and caught...15-20? Many small, but several good keepers. Maybe Brad can chime in on the numbers, I usually just estimate.
The bite slowed there so we moved to a couple of new areas, slow trolling minnows under bobbers. The fish seemed scattered, with a few pockets of hot action. I wasn't keeping fish since I was going to cook crappie for supper.
We put a good number in the well for Brad to have a fry. Not sure how many it was exactly. I do know we threw back several solid keepers towards the end.
At any rate, Brad told me he wanted to catch a blacknose, and here it is. I should have taken a picture of him with it when he first caught it, cause it darkened up so much in the livewell, it's hard to see the stripe. It also appears to be a very funny fish.
Nice fish Brad! (did you measure it?)



We took a head on picture to try to show the stripe. You can see the spot on the lip anyway.

Hey Shellcracker, thanks for the plants and the fishing trip.
Forget AC, I won't tell anyone where we were Your secret is safe with me. I wish, however, I could tell the guys how deep the fish were. They would be surprised.
