Yesterdays trip started out with a stop at Jessup Mill. Then I headed south to my favorite place to wade the Dan, since I left the Coosa at home.

The fishing was dead at first, then it started to pick up. The Redbreasts were the first to bite then the smallies started. The saddest part of my trip was getting hung up and watching a nice size small mouth swim right past me in ankle deep water.

Those bream pictured are redbreasts. Looks like a good flow.

I've caught a few from a creek not far from the house that were bright blood red. They are truly one of the most beautiful sunfish around.

Here is a few pics from the weekend before.

Nice photos, some real pretty fish! Have caught some of these myself and didn't know they were called "redbreasts".

I have recently retired and have purchased a kayak. I want to find some good places to fish. NOT your secret holes just some good locations and maybe a chance to fish with some fisherman. My email address is rjeffries@triad.rr.com
