Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on June 21, 2012 at 9:34am: This little Warmouth hit almost as hard as some of the nicer ones last week.....What a predator!

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on June 16, 2012 at 2:58pm: Caught some awesome Warmouth today on the Pasquotank River.....my dad and I each caught a goggle-eye in the 1 pound class....really fun times!

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on June 10, 2012 at 5:50pm: Starting to pick up some really nice Warmouth shallow in Carolina....These guys are hitting pink jigs and pink hair jigs as well....These are a few that I have caught on a few recent trips...The jigs I used are pictured as well.....

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on May 20, 2012 at 9:28am: Had several nice Warmouth in my Perquimans River creel today....They hit the honey hole pink/white curly tail grub tipped with live crickets...Water was down several feet from the winds so these fish had pulled back off shore some....Water temps have dropped almost ten degrees from last weekend down to 68. As the water continues to warm we'll start catching more chunky Warmouth....Good time!

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on May 18, 2012 at 7:04pm: This beauty attacked a soft plastic bubble-gum colored grub with a live cricket added.....This guy really popped when he got out of the water....The water temperatures are getting in a range that big Warmouth love....Can't wait to find a cluster......

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on April 22, 2012 at 8:15am: The Warmouth are a species that like a little warmer conditions but they are starting to move a little bit down in South Carolina where most of the water temperatures in the Low Country exceed 70 degrees......I caught these fish in tight to wood in rather shallow water on Live crickets.....Always a good time to add a few Goggle-eye Perch to your creel....

Comment by jim cosgrove on April 5, 2012 at 6:30pm: thanks jeffrey,the ones around here seem to be more solitary and very territorial.seem to like really rocky areas.they hit hard and i am always amazed when i catch one as they fight hard and i always think it is a much larger fish.i like the way they tremble in your hand when you are unhooking them.i catch them on large top water plugs like zara spooks and the tiniest flies.never catch more than 1 or 2 at a time.we have rock bas up here and i think they inbreed some with wramouths as i have caught some strange looking fish at times.
