Welcome Robbie....I hope you can share some of the images of those Richmond Mill Giants......Big Fliers that is......I've seen some great pictures that indicate the Fliers are taking advantage of the healthy waters in Richmond Mill....look forward to your input.....

There is only ONE place i've seen Fliers down in our river in south Georgia. They only bite the small red wigglers , think I'll start going after them. what's the record size???

Starting to see a few Fliers now....getting pumped up as May approaches, the month that I traditionally catch the largest Fliers of the year...

Put it on your bucket list and if you make it over to the eastern part of the state I'll put you on a few......

Welcome Jason.....I've never heard of Fliers coming west of the coastal plains in North Carolina......I feel very lucky to have such a heavy concentration of this sunfish species around the Albemarle/Pamlico Sound Estuary......

I guess this is why I never see them. Seem to be distributed around the coastal plains more than toward the mountains. I'll find them some day!!

Fliers will begin to push shallow next month in the tidal waters of North Carolina and Virginia.......They traditionally arrive ahead of the bluegills in this region and are often caught right in the middle of a big Coppernose bed come late Spring and early Summer........

Bluegill have slowed way down in recent weeks with the in flux of colder air temperatures and falling water temperatures but our Friends the Fliers, have continued to bite and were pretty active this weekend on the black water rivers of Northeast N.C and Southeastern Virginia....Caught 32 today on Veteran's Day on the Northwest River....near bottom and very light bites on minnows and grass shrimp.....Water temperatures on the surface were 47 at first light and had risen to 53 by midday.......

Smaller the bait the better with these colder temperatures.....
