MCTFisher9120 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) Finally I caught my first fish of 2009! I was down at the creek for a hour and a half today and caught 2 small suckers Nothing to amazing but hey it felt nice to have a fish on the line. Was using a small hook tipped with a worm and 2 split shot leaving it on bottom. Pictures: 1st Fish of 2009 And the second little guy, It could not of been a better day but I'll be sure to bring a bottle of water next time, was pretty hot walking up and down the river.

GoneFishin Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Good job, suckers can be quite fun to fish for. You should bring a bag with you next time and try to keep some smaller ones and freeze them for pike fishing witch I'm sure you'll be doing in the future lol.

I saw some smaller 5-10" sucker's, maybe I'll downsize some and try to get some. How should i freeze them, just in water say in a ziplock bag?

MJL Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Great report Mike! Suckers can be lots of fun to fish for when nothing else is hitting in spring. I can't believe how skinny and cigar-like those suckers are. WTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
