2013 Daily Doubles....North Carolina Style

[Jeffrey D. Abney]

My mom is an identical twin and when my cousins and I would fish as kids we would always put our two best fish together fro Janice and Donice and we called it the "Daily Double".....That family tradition lives on here in some of the quality Daily Doubles taken in 2013......Those were the good ole days when the same dollar could by you both your favorite soda pop and candy bar.........

Most of these will be Coppernose...my favorite species and our dominant sunfish around here.....

These fish were caught in heavy down pours in the middle of May.....

Gills caught during a mild period in early April....

Nice Mid April Gills...Bradford Pear Tree full and green in coastal N.C.

Some Late April Hybrids.....on my sister's birthday
