Crappie Or Catfish

[LEBHUNTFISH]

Hey Pat,

I took my wife to Fellows Lake today and we caught our limit on BlueGill. We kept all the ones that were bigger than my hands. I also caught a two and half pound channel cat. All on worms from our garden. Of the BlueGills, one was a female with eggs and the other 38 were males full of sperm. We just rigged a small hook on the end of the line with a spitshot weight a foot up on 6lb test line. We found the fish off the reddish points on the sandgravel beds. Those spots may look merky red. However that is where the males are making the beds. This whole next week should be real nice. I dont know what the water temp was. We got there at 1:30pm and left at 4:30. I stuffed 2 quart ziplock bags with nice fillets.

My wife loves to fish and she usually brings a book with her to read when the fishing is slow. She did not have time to pick up her book today. The action was a fish every other cast.

My son and I will be there in the morning. Good luck every one.

Thanks Charles, I like a good blue gill supper every now and then.
