Went fishing 🎣 in 48 degrees Carnegie Lake this evening on a warm, sunny day with a west wind 💨 small craft advisory. Caught and released a 13” black crappie on my first cast of the day with Walmart Canadian night crawlers. Two members of the bucket 🪣 brigade came over and asked me to give them my fish 🐟. I said no. Caught and released 7 black crappies, 6 yellow perch to 11”, 4 bluegills, 2 white crappies, a pumpkinseed sunfish and a gizzard shad. Landed my third double for this year, a bluegill and a yellow perch. Caught 100 fish 🐠 in 6 trips in the same spot with worms 🪱 this year. Fishing 🎣 while surrounded by the bucket 🪣 brigade was not fun. Saw Canada geese, double crested cormorants, common mergansers, great blue heron, an adult bald eagle 🦅, squirrels 🐿️ and too many people. Took pictures.
