Spent the last three evenings fishing Warinanco Park Pond. The plan each day was the same, catch some type of small sunfish and liveline it out for a big channel catfish or bullhead. The first part of that plan went very smoothly. Usually the sunfish would be livelined within 5 or 10 minutes of setting up. The second part, not so much. After a total of about 12 hours spaced out over 3 days, the only thing that was interested in my sunfish were crayfish. Still managed to have fun messing around with the light tackle stuff. Caught many fish of a bunch of different species. Lots of green sunfish, a few bluegills, and one or two pumpkinseeds. The colors on the green sunfish and bluegills were great, but the pumpkinseeds were very dull and didn't really even look like pumpkinseeds. Also caught some hybrids between the three. The best one was probably the green sunfish x pumpkinseed which is the first picture. Might just be the most beautiful fish I ever caught. Besides the sunfish, a few crappies also made it onto the end of my hook. As far as the catfish go, I caught a few small bullheads, a small channel catfish, and one very nice sized channel at 19". Everything was caught on a little 1/2 inch pink twisty tail worm or a piece of pizza crust. The large channel catfish took a tiny piece of pizza crust, go figure. Sometimes you can target large fish and end up catching the large ones on something small.
