Those other 2 fish are called pumpkinseeds. Very pretty fish that hardly reach 1 pound with average sizes ranging from 6 to 8 inches. Big bluegills are also called bullgills.

Yes it was out my back door The water is so clear here due to the Zebra Mussel that when its calm you can see bottom in 50 feet of water.No Joke!!! We went trolling for salmon this morning and you could see a dipsy diver 86 feet down.We were fishing in 60 to 90 feet of water until the sun came up and the fish scattered to deeper water. |

That probably explains why the sea fishing here in Israel is non-existent after the sun gets up. Our coastal waters are very clear and, apart from the smaller fish living in and around the rocks and reefs, there just doesn't seem to be anything around during the day. I suppose they too must head out to deeper water when the sun comes up. |

Yea. Clear water is really cool when it allows you too see fish and whatnot down deep, but it definitely can make fishing a little tougher at times.
Wanna trade properties for a couple years? Don't know if I can keep up with your mortgage payments, but I'm sure that won't matter. lol

Don't know if I can keep up with your mortgage payments, but I'm sure that won't matter. lol You nailed it when you said the fishing gets tougher.We were in a tournament a few weeks ago and we could see the Smallies on their beds in about 17 feet of water and they had lockjaw.We tried everything even went to the local sport shop and bought ultra-lites and used 4lb flourocarbon with 1 1/2 tubes used for panfish and they wouldn't even touch that  .They would just stare at them.Talk about frustrating.    If you're ever in this neck of the woods catfreak your more then welcome to stay at my house. |

How do those 'Gills/Pumpkin seed fish taste? I am not fond of the taste trout have.
