Not much of a panfisherman during the summer months (kinda small and kinda boring for my taste)….but grandma wanted fresh fish for her 80th birthday, so off to the river I went with a can of worms and a little dinky rod.
I headed to a spot I haven’t fished since my college days …..it consisted of main channel rip rap and some man-made structure. Over the course of 1 1/2hrs I was able to boat just over 1 million sunfish (estimate) and 2 crappies around 11″…..also caught 3 decent smallies, a largie, and a sheepie. I quit when I had more little fish in the bucket than I wanted to clean by myself.
The secret technique was an itty bitty jig tipped with a small piece of crawler…..no bobber, because bobbers are for childern and old people
That’s my report and I’m stickin to it.
