[Hlleonard]

That is a great website, thanks Hlleonard

lol....who would have thought there were so many different kinds of "bluegill".

caught an 8 in chub was gonna turn it in for record it weighed 0.45 lbs but someone already got one that was 12 in long so there goes my record for a while. lol

They used to sell "sucker chubs" all the time but I'm pretty sure these are different from creek chubs. A lot of catfisherman catch creek chubs with rod and reel.

[jamesdenson]

yes they are different but the sucker minnows do come in very handy about december on cumberland.

No need to wait until Dec. a 8inch Sucker took a 44" striper last week on the main lake.

[jamesdenson]

So now that we are talking Suckers, who sells them around Cland? Seems like 4-5 years ago, you could get them at Bass Pro, or Lake Pointe Motel, or ADAMS BAIT & TACKLE, or LAKE CUMBERLAND COUNTRY STORE. But ehre lately seems like I can't find them. Just me, or have folks stop selling them?-

Bob my neighbor brought them over from E-town, I think somebody said that after Katrina they quit being shipped in to our area,not sure about that though.
James around thirty feet has been the norm, after all the rain and cooler temps. it may change.

Pro V:

Appreciate it . Yep, got the guy in Etown, just hoping to find a source at Cland to avoid buying the night before and hoofing them down there. I think they get car sick!

[jamesdenson]

lol yea they do seem to get a little car sick. if im going early in the morning i have one of the yard ponds for goldfish with a aieator in it i just catch them up the day before and stick them in there. then put fresh water in my minnow bucket with a 2liter bottle of ice and some stay alive. but theres a small creek in my backyard that makes this easy.
