Hoping for some of these this weekend but Mother Nature may have other ideas.....Trying to get in a little more fishing on the home waters before heading south for work......

As I have shown and Mark suggests.....young Warmouth are very aggressive and will pound a bug or jig if it lands in their wheel house......They are harder to find than their Bluegill cousin, but one thing is for sure...you'll probably be in some heavy cover and submerged wood when you do the best on these guys......

No Warmouth this afternoon, just bruiser Coppernose and one Hybrid.......

They bite when nothing else will all you have to do is get it by them and they'll do the rest.

I've got a couple nearby lakes that have some Warmouth in them.  I never catch many, one, maybe two on an outing.  Usually on worms, or cut bait for catfish.  Caught one on a Bitsy Minnow this year.  I usually catch them about 6" away from the weedline at the water's edge.

I usually catch a few when fishing live bait, but figure most of them are mostly head and little body and throw them back unless its some pretty good sized ones like Jeff's!

Thanks for the tips Federico. I will gingerly place the line near the structures to catch them. I was keeping my eyes out for Jeffrey's outings and reeling in these fighters to get some hints an secrets revealed their habits. I'll be using all the knowledge that I've collected this far to hunt them.

Leo we catch this warmouths here in texas in creeks and rivers and they like to hold very tight to cover, almost right inside the roots on trees and log piles. they are good fighters and look very impressive, a 10" warmouth would look twice it size

I ove the looks of these fish and the green sunfish the look like fat 10# bass

Yep. Don't hold me to the fire, but the old timer who fish and live at the lake front said he caught a few warmouth. I was jumping up and down in hysteria when I heard him. Surely enough, he proved it to me that it was a warmouth among his photos. My mouth dropped to the floor when I saw it. He told me the secret is to hunt for warmouth where the crappies were. Which is along the north side near the observatory, the southside near Metcafe area, and the shallow area during late fall near the treatment plant. I'm so stoked for the past year to get up there to hit the sites. His wisdom was, using fly rods for the best effective hits during warm mornings and late days during summer time. My ears tingled with joy.
