What type of bait where they using? Small worms and red worms. Some of them were bending the lightweight rod’s really nice. The grandkids were having a blast. |

No. They were caught during the day. Those are some solar lights I just picked up at an auction that we haven’t gotten to putting up correctly yet.
The little channel is thick with fish. Next the largemouth will move in There were several 5# + largemouth under our pontoon boat last summer.
Stocked lakes. They even have some good size Muskie in there.
There are some channel cats and several albino cat fish. It is way overpopulated with bluegills. They want people to take out what they can catch right now.

Muskie is on my bucket list. I’ve known people that have tried for years to get a keeper Muskie. Must be a tough fish to catch. I’ve never tried. |

That brings back alot of good memories as a kid. A nice size bluegill will give you a tussle on a light rod. Keeps the kids busy. Might want to take one of those small bluegill and put him under a bobber....... some bass or channel cat will pick that up.

Might want to take one of those small bluegill and put him under a bobber....... some bass or channel cat will pick that up. I figured out that the fish are coming up this little channel to feed and spawn. They pretty much hit anything they throw in the water. One of the girls didn’t like touching worms or minnows so she was using Niblets Brand Steamed corn. She was catching everything on it. Even a largemouth. |
