My brother taught me apple blossom time is time to catch rockies. I don't like them as much if caught in the summer.

rock bass are the greatest fish God made you don't go fishing you go catching them they have big firm fillets that taste great and most people never target them ....easy to catch easy to clean taste great .....

good to eat and easy to catch. Exactly!

gills have got to be No 1 not sure who comes next but maybe spring time bull heads then it's crappie , wally and yes don't forget rocky I started keeping them one day when the gill bite was tough and was pleasantly surprised . They really are good when caught thru the ice

i caught some this year color was washed right out of them had to look close to know what they were

oneida1 · « **Reply #6427 on:** Mar 15, 2021, 10:19 AM »

1perch 2 blue gill/sunfish, 3 walleye,,,,, dont keep anything else never tried rockies might this year and bullheads use to but just dont care for them.... normally stock freezer with perch during ice, and CR for the most part come open water

trapper2000 · « **Reply #6428 on:** Mar 15, 2021, 10:38 AM »

oneida lets go bullhead fishing i have extra buckets

i love catching walleyes but i rate them 4th place myself

filetandrelease · « **Reply #6429 on:** Mar 15, 2021, 12:51 PM »

Frogger your right they aren’t harmful to eat , but are unappealing in appearance
I don’t keep peppered fish either

62&done · « **Reply #6430 on:** Mar 15, 2021, 05:02 PM »

I can't identify those little black dots or the ugly beyge ones or even those red string like creatures but I do know that the more the fish relates to weed beds the more parasites you find. For instance same body of water, sunfish caught in the weeds are peppered but blue gills that spend more time in the deeper water ,not so much. Perch in Onieda not so many. Perch in Vermonts Bomoseen which are caught in the weeds are a mess I try to pick some out but if they're too many they go in the gut bucket. Hope the eagle doesn't mind

Shallow water usually has slot to do with the black dots .... However I have never seen them.in crappies .....

Well done Bruce
I’m still chasing perch and maybe lakers for a bit longer , first winter I have never fished for eyes on Oneida , just couldn’t leave those perch alone

reeleyz · « **Reply #6438 on:** Mar 15, 2021, 08:02 PM »

Thanks guys. I still had 10.5” of ice but it won’t take much to break it up. Looks like a big warm up next week.

Good Luck Fred.

By the way.... I was thinking about a fish I’d add to my list today. I’d have to add perch, again to that list!!😁

they ain't that good KP you'd be better off fishing for sheephead and white perch

reeleyz · « **Reply #6443 on:** Mar 16, 2021, 05:05 AM »

Anybody ever try sheephead? I know it sounds nasty eating those slimy things but it might be worth a try once.

Also, did anybody catch a burbot this winter? I did not.

reeleyz · « **Reply #6444 on:** Mar 16, 2021, 05:20 AM »

Satellite image showing where the open water was earlier this year. It will be interesting to see if that opens up first.

First winter in some time I didn’t catch one.

Oldtimer · « **Reply #6447 on:** Mar 16, 2021, 06:37 AM »

I may try one this spring. Here in Fl. The Drum are spitting images of them, maybe not looked upon as favorably as a Pompano but above a Whiting.

greensider · « **Reply #6448 on:** Mar 16, 2021, 06:40 AM »

Our fresh water drum are very good eating but for their size you don’t get much meat I have eaten some smaller ones under 5 pounds that compared to eyes

Salt water sheep’s head taste great. A couple from the Gulf of Mexico..
