Well what do you know? Little brother Darryl asked me to go fishing, and I wasn’t babysitting, or working on “honey-do’s,” so I said yes. We kept these three nice bass, and ten sunfish/bluegills for my freezer. A purple rubber worm seemed to be the favorite today, but we actually caught fish on a number of different lures. A small spider looking fly was the “hot” panfish setup!
We didn’t have any live bait, but will next time we try it. We could of cleaned up on “big” bluegill, and crappie, if we would of had minnows and worms. We did catch one sheephead and some smaller fish that we threw back.
The only “fly” in the ointment was the “flies” biting my ankles. I just could not keep those hungry, bloodsucking, insects off me, even though I had spray on! My legs were literally bleeding, and whenever I was fast enough to “smash” one I felt a sense of revenge.
Just got a call from little brother, and were going again in the morning, so I will stop by the tackle shop for the necessary supplies, including a different insect spray! Blog at ya later.

Quite the catch there Mike. You might want to check into a thermacell. Those things are awesome for quite a few bugs.
Looks like some good eat’in. I’ve heard the thermacell works good also. Check out the new layout of our site when you get the chance. We put a link to your site on it.
Too much fun! I’m gonna have to settle for living vicariously through your blog for the moment. Hopefully we can get out and wet a line soon, though!
Yummy! Fish fry! I hate the mosquitos though. I’m very fair skinned and they all seem to like me very much. I always get more bites than whoever I’m with.
