When I am at Mingo/Duck, I feel like a P51 Pilot. I spent all my time getting to the target rich environment, and now I have no time to enjoy it

I stayed over in Poplar bluff the last two times I was down there and will do the same when (if) we get out to  MO in June.

  Would we need 50000 grain full sink line to get to depth?

Yes!  Or a submersible with robotic arms designed for deep-water roll-casting. 😅

Just a big 'ol gob of worms will catch one 🤣

59) Northern Starhead Topminnow 

these guys really frustrated me earlier in the year. I guess the water was too cold or something, but they did not react to a bait at all.

this time around they were very spooky even with the 9 foot pole. You can't bring the bait to them. You have to let them swim into the bait.

size 26 Tanago gets them though. I think I caught 5 of them and I could have caught more. I wanted a bigger one, but they evaded me and time was at a premium.

Livie #56 Micro Black Sea bass. Little but she clicked this seven times today.

JF #60 Male Tautog (1 of two fish caught 🙄. Other was a micro sea bass)

60) Black Striped Top Minnow

Livie #57 Yellow bass, Morone mississippiensis

This was a Lifer.

61) Orange Spotted Sunfish ; Lifer,  long time coming, but it made me so Happy to have one in hand. I caught a probable hybrid Orange Spot right before this fish and another OSSF right after. I left them alone to pursue other species. Now to get one on the flyrod.

62) Black Bullhead  there were about 20 of these guys in a ditch by a road. Some were 6 inches long some were 2 inches. They wouldn't bite, I drop a Tanago for a mystery minnow and this guy eats it.

I caught one of the bigger ones but it wiggled away prior to getting his pic taken.

bigger ones to come, I hope.
