Flat Fish Fishing ShellCracker Adventure and Some

Panfishing refers to the recreational activity of fishing for small, freshwater fish species collectively known as "panfish." These fish are typically smaller in size and are commonly found in ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams throughout North America. The term "panfish" is derived from the fact that these fish are often small enough to fit in a standard cooking pan.
Panfish are popular targets for anglers, both beginners and experienced, due to their abundance, accessibility, and the relatively simple and enjoyable nature of panfishing. While many types of fish can fall into the panfish category, some of the most common species sought after by panfish anglers include:
Bluegill: Bluegills are one of the most well-known panfish species. They are small, colorful fish with a distinctive blue or greenish hue on their gill covers.
Crappie: Crappies come in two main species, black crappie and white crappie. They are often targeted for their tasty meat and can grow to a decent size, making them a popular choice among panfish anglers.
Sunfish: Sunfish is a broad term that includes various species like pumpkinseed, longear sunfish, and redear sunfish. These fish are characterized by their vibrant colors and roundish bodies.
Perch: Yellow perch and white perch are common targets for panfish anglers. They are known for their delicious flavor and are often found in schools.
Rock Bass: Rock bass have a similar appearance to largemouth bass, but they are smaller in size. They have a strong fighting spirit, making them a fun catch for anglers.
Panfishing is typically done using lightweight tackle, including small fishing rods, reels, and lines. Techniques like bait fishing, using live bait such as worms, crickets, or minnows, as well as artificial lures like jigs, soft plastics, and spinners, are commonly employed. Anglers might fish from the shore or from small boats like kayaks or canoes. Panfishing is often seen as a family-friendly activity, as it provides a relatively easy entry point for newcomers to fishing and offers a relaxing way to spend time outdoors.
Overall, panfishing offers a laid-back and enjoyable fishing experience, allowing anglers to catch a variety of smaller fish species that can be cooked up for a delicious meal or released to swim another day.#ShellcrackerFishing #RedearSunfish #SunfishFishing #PanfishAngler

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

It is the perfect rod for them kids an it’s grown on me quick. acccrappiestix.com The 2 piece crappie stix 5 footers are like 22.00 You can’t beat that. I’ve bought 10 for myself an my clients to start using an they have had no complaints. Great action they light an hold up to the test. Real easy for the kids to throw. I like it in them tight places are where them trees are hanging over. You can just pitch it anywhere you want to.

Yea man. Thank you. That’s what it’s all about.

[@napoleonarmstrong3648]

Great job as usual. I think im finally about ready to schedule a trip. I contacted you over a year ago and told you about my experiences with other guides there and wanted to give you a try. My dad fell sick and over the last year or so I've been back and forth to south Ga from Atl area looking after him. He has transitioned and I've taken my time to heal and now its time to get back to what I love most fishing. My anniversary is next month and wanted to check your availability. You may still have our txts or my number but then again it has been awhile. Look fwd to hearing from you

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

Thanks appreciate you. Head high brother shoot me another text so we can get something lined up

[@jessiebelle9061]

Bro once again great video, prayers sent for your pastor and his family. Next time I come i definitely want to spend some time in the real swamp 🎣

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

Thanks brother. Appreciate you

[@jasonmoore3845]

So how many do you normally keep? Definitely probably the best I've seen at finding them, but do you ever release any nice ones?

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

If they don’t go in that cooler. They get turnt back loose. I’ve probably eat shellcrackers 5 times in my life. I have no desire to keep them. If I have someone wanting some. I’ll keep them but my clients keep the ones they catch but again. If you don’t see them in the cooler on ice. I’m not keeping them. Appreciate you watching. Thanks

[@gatorsoutdooradventures]

I like putting them in the live well taking pics for reels on fb instagram TikTok I got to start putting the fish in the videos but when I do it with phone it messes up the regular video an doesn’t look like.

[@frogmartin]
