We put in at Twin Bridges and headed toward the lake about a mile or so. Fished about an hour before the rain started in. No sooner than we got back to the ramp the thunder, lightning, and wind came in. We had a blast and caught some nice fish. Now i just need to buy me a boat! Here’s a few pics from our trip.


You were about 15 minutes from my house. Nice haul!

What does the meat look like?
Is it good to eat?

Sounds like the red meat isn't very palatable and gets chucked. Is the rest of the meat white like a panfish or dark like a bullhead?


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

It is a white meat after triming. This fish does not taste like most fish.

That red meat is nasty, eat any of that and you won't eat spoonbill again. Like Danny said great coon bait and full of oil. Put some in a pocket and create an oil slick.
