Most who regularly respond to my fishing posts know that I prefer to use artificials. However this morning I went out and took a bunch of leftover mealies with me. Well I decided to fish them with a bobber. Something that I have not done in a long time.
Well I have got to tell ya I had a blast. I ended up catching nothiong more than sunnies but was using my ulta lite so they all felt nice ( ya know for a sunny ). I know that for most of us sunnies are kind of the training grounds.
I must have cought 50 of them in about 2.5 hours. And wanted to take a moment to remind all of my fellow fisher'ers how much fun they can be.
And by the way. If ya haven't fished a bobber in years jive it a shot. There is still something magic about watching it being pulled under.

Afraid I've always preferred a good old worm and a bobber. One of the best days we ever had was we went on a road trip not planning on fishing but as always had the poles in the trunk. We didn't however have any bait so opted for pieces of cold hotdogs - we got a nice batch of bass and a couple pike out of this little stream we found on the drive.
I love watching the bobber when the little ones are playing with it - wishing they could get the whole thing and nibbling away until I have to rebait.

No open season here for spoonbill. therefore It's illegal.

Fishing panfish with an ultralight is a blast...and often overlooked, but every spring I always try to get one good weekend in on bluegills and sunnies. After that though its time for artificials and bass.
