i kept one of them cuz i thought that the snout looked appropriate to a redfin. so i kept scooping and BOOM i saw something good sized...a banded sunfish. i was VERY happy. I currently only caught bandeds about an hour and 10 min away. so i wanted to have s spot closer to me. i had driven by this spot for months and never stopped.
so off i went to find the redfins....drove to another pond...
caught lots of lil pickerels that i couldnt ID...so i didnt take. also caught a very good sized chain pickerel.
he was about 5 or 6". i also caught bandeds there as well. so 2 new banded spots! caught some crayfish that seemed very red.
i went down the road to another pond....caught more lil pickerels....and a swamp darter with a pretty pinkish belly. let them all go.
here is a pic of the pickerel i kept
I keep catching the lil guys. Im looking for a 4". one that will eat crayfish and fish. and one that i can properly ID. I will be out tomorrow off again in search of redfins!
