Limited out with an unbaited hook
 

Went fishing in 76 degree Colonial Lake in the rain 🌧️ again this evening on a warm, cloudy day with a moderate west wind. Two fishermen were to the left of my spot and caught nothing with red worms. They gave me their bait when they left. I showed them how to catch fish 🎣 with a #14 gold treble hook on 2 lb test fluorocarbon line and no bait. After I threw out a can of corn 🌽 for chum, I caught and released my limit of 25 fish 🐟 consisting of 23 bluegills, a pumpkinseed sunfish and a golden shiner. The female bluegills were still gravid. The two intruders to my right caught nothing. After I limited out, I caught and released 2 painted turtles 🐢, and a 7 lb snapping turtle on my last cast of the day with whole kernel corn and red worms. Caught and released 19 turtles this year.
