    Details: Bluegill Sunfish with a Used large red worms, with no bobber

    Fished close to the pier with no bobber and red worms. Everyone using a bobber got nothing. I have no idea what the little guy was, but he got hooked under the eye. ...more First catches of the year. I caught that juicy Capri sun on Friday at a different lake, and that was my only catch that day. It sure felt good to actually catch fish today!
