Hey John...I wish I knew of a really accurate scale for panfish that would not break the bank.
At Richmond Mill, Bruce and I used the smallest Boga Grip scale that weighed in quarter pound increments. I don't know how accurate it was, but my gut feeling is that it could have weighed our biggest bluegills a couple of ounces light. You know how fishermen are! Might be a good subject to blog or discuss.
Dear John, don't know about your area but here blue jays are a protected songbird in Ok. Possession of the feathers is illegal.So use at your own risk.I would hate it if a friend had problems with possession of illegal feathers..
Hi John, Glad to your friend. Yes like the acoustics I am hearing . You are very talented and have a fish in your area I would love to catch and that is the yellow pearch. Must be terrible to have to live on a lake and have to fish everyday.
Hey John, I was indeed using a 1/32 oz jighead with 4 lbs test line (my #1 go-to rig for Crappies and Large Panfish). I completely agree with you in the choice of a big spoon or crank if I were specifically targeting large Chains (just happened to accidentally hook into him). From what I can tell, the larger specimens seem to be attracted to the feeding activity of the smaller panfish--and just like the "Bully on the Block" after awhile they just can't stand it and have to get in on the action themselves!!! I've been very lucky to have most of my hooksets on these critters either get'em in the corner of their mouths or in the lip region (just outside the teeth zone in the soft tissue)! I played this monster for about 10 minutes in my Kayak--didn't have an anchor out so just played him on light drag and let him pull me around a bit till he tired out!!!
You got some great pics on your page. I like your music too!. Let's see, you can fish, you can play strings. Can you sing and dance? Wait! Don't! Let's leave well enough alone.
when your on turn up your chat volume. this is what you do, go to the top of the page, click chat on the right (its on the menue bar) then when you get there put up the volume which is next to the smilie face, and the computer volume because the beep is very soft. this is because if someone trys to talk to you the chat volume is on mute. if you want to talk to someon just copy and paste this message.
Hey John,
I love the Rainbow too (nice solid fish--very pretty colored fish)!!! Haven't done any exclusive trout fishing this year although ended up catching several Rainbow and Brown Trout in a New Hampshire pond this past April while fishing for sunfish. Keep those trout photos coming (and of course those Huge Sunfish photos!!!!) Tight Lines!!!
