First Sunfish!!!

Featured Replies

Today was a great day! it was cloudy, saw some sunfish spawning and some bass. I was using a fluke in smoking shad for bass. I caught 3 bass. including a 4 lber! After that the bass stopped biting. There were a bunch of kids fishing, and they were catching sunfish. I got bored so i changed out my bass hook to a smaller size 4 hook and wacky rig about an inch of trout worm on it. I fished sunfish's beds and they are probably the most aggressive nesting fish ever! Some of them dont hesitate on eating the worm again and again! They are my first sunfish too. I think i might even get 1 of them for my aquarium the next time i go out.

That big bass is a really healthy looking fish. Bluegills are super aggressive when they're spawning as long as they don't get spooked. The males like the ones you caught will usually hit about anything you put close to them.
