Quick Creek Report..PB Sucker

[MCTFisher9120]

So as part of my summer project I need to complete a fish collection both with specimens and 3 photographed fish. I'm 99% sure I caught 3 white suckers today at a local creek but I have a question for a smaller fish I caught that looked like a spawning common shiner but it's a toss up...not very sure on it.

 

My mom came out with me today and took some neat action shots and photo's haha. It was a first day back home after a year at fleming.

 

Here is the fish I'm not 100% sure about. Caught it(as well as the others) on corn this morning. Here is a picture of the fish.

 

Sucker time...enjoy

 

 

 

My favorite haha

 

 

The big 18"r

 

 

 

 

Not to sure why but this fish was bleeding a but from the anal...didn't look to healthy.

 

 

Thanks for viewing,

MTBF

 

Also, I got the coordinates from google maps but I need to include a photocopied UTM map of each location in this project...any idea where I can find something online that's free...google is my enemy lol

Great report Mike, your ma did a fine job with the camera too.

 

What did you use for bait for the suckers?

 

That 2nd pic got me going...that there is the perfect size sucker minnow for a big fat Lac seul walleye....

 

 

thanks for posting....looking forward to more.

Was using a #6 circle hook(small) with some split shot and corn.. usually 1 piece on the hook. Would pitch it out to the school and wait for the little guys to suck it in haha...good fun
