Otay 5/28

Post by Dannicus »

I had so much fun catching that crappie this week I decided to panfish Otay. It'd been a while since I'd done it and man was it fun. I caught 12 sunfish/bluegill a long with a bunch of bass. All the fish fell victim to a Megabass Griffon crankbait.

The highlight was a massive 2 1/4 pounder. I believe it was a redear sunfish. What you can't see in the picture is how thick it was. It had to be close to 4 inches thick. By far my PB bluegill/panfish. Now off to Arizona for a month on vacation.

I hope you all have a great summer, and hopefully the lakes won't be closed when I get back!

Watching that cork go down, never gets old.
There’s many ways to fish for them big panfish. I find it very challenging.
Thanks for sharing
Put’em in the cooler!!!!
