Pumpkinseed
Went ultralight jigging in a 44 degrees NJ lake this afternoon on a cold, cloudy day with a moderate east wind. Air temp was only 41 degrees. I could see my breath. Got very cold. 12 other fishermen caught lots of fish. Another fisherman told me that a group of fishermen caught and removed more than 50 fish from my spot. I only caught and released 18 white perch including a double, 7 yellow perch and my first pumpkinseed sunfish for this year with Walmart red worm halves on two gold hooks and a 1/16 oz unpainted leadhead jig on 4 lb test line. Landed 275 fish in 7 NJ freshwater fishing trips this year from the same spot. Will catch less fish from now onwards because the fish killers discovered my spot.
