Learn Something New Every Day

Every time I go out I try to learn something new. Last night I was out catching panfish and little bass in water I have been fishing for more than 7 years. I just happened to shine my light in the rocks and I found this little guy:

7 years and I never new there were crayfish in this pond. Guess I should start throwing craws at the carp here more often.

Also, I was thinking about how many rock bass I've been catching in this watershed this year. t compares a lot to 2012. That year I was catching rock bass left and right every time I went out. Then they became kind of scarce. Just as I was thinking about that I nailed a nice one. Seems they are coming back!

      Fun, simple, beautiful... it's hard not to love panfish if you aren't stuck up on being all about big fish!

    I have yet to catch the rock bass.
    The others though--all fun! Too much fun in fact.

      No such thing as too much fun when it come to fishing!

    Rock bass love crayfish as all other bass do. Here I find rock bass in faster moving water on the Loyalhana. Nice bunch of panfish that hopefully will never make it to a pan.
    Tie, fish, write and photo on...

      I have to say, if there were any fish that I wouldn't be even slightly disappointed to see frying in grease, it's sunfish and crappies.
