THE RICH!
THE SMOOTH]
Pennsylvania has been lauded as
a state with varied fishing opportun-
ities. Anglers can fish for the
mighty musky, the finicky trout,
and the acrobatic bass. But we tend
to lose sight of the creatures that
more people fish for than anything
else - the panfish.
The term panfish is used to
describe a group of freshwater fish,
which, although they are scrappy,
are too small to be considered in the
gamefish category. Most of them, in
fact, are ‘pan size.” In Pennsyl-
vania we generally refer to the
bluegill, black and white crappie,
yellow perch, white perch, builhead
and rock bass as ‘“‘panfish.”
The Pennsylvania Fish Commis-
sion has placed a liberal creel limit
of 50 (combined species) per day on
these prolific fish. A half-pound
female black crappie may produce
from 20,000 to 25,000 eggs; a bluegill
up to 60,000 eggs; and a one-pound
white perch as many as 150,000.
Many of the young will survive and
water possibly stunting their
growth. This is the reason that
fishing pressure and harvest can
actually improve panfishing.
But what's the attraction? Why
fish for panfish? First of all, they
are a heck of a lot of fun to catch.
On the end of light tackle, ounce for
ounce, a seven or eight-inch sunfish
is a joy for the whole family to
catch. Everyone can get in on the
act - dad, mom and even the pre-
schoolers. The whole family can
spend time together outdoors enjoy-
ing the fishing and perhaps the
contents of a picnic basket at a
state park lake.
The best panfishing occurs in
spring and early summer during the
pre-spawning periods when the fish
are congregated near the shallows.
During this period panfish will take
almost any lure you throw their
way, just make sure it’s small
enough to get in their mouths, hook
sizes should range from 10 to 14.
The same holds true when the fish
are on their spawning beds. Small
jigs are deadly, as are small spin-
ners an foam spiders. Wet flies and
nymphs tied to resemble aquatic
insects will also produce fish.
When fishing with a spinning or
baitcasting rod, use a bobber to
provide enough weight for casting
these featherlight lures. After cast-

irg: your lure, allow it to settle
before beginning a very slow
retrieve. An occasional pause
during the retrieve will often cause
a fish to strike. Try fishing your
lure at various depths by reposition-
ing the bobber on your line. When
the fish are located, the bobber will
suspend your lureat proper depth.
The wave action on the bobber
provides ‘‘action’ to your lure,
making it even more attractive to
the fish. If you don’t get any action
in 10 to 15 minutes, move to a new
area. Most panfish school according
to size and when you do get action
there can be hundreds of fish just
waiting for you to offer their favor-
ite bait. Worms are almost always a
good bait for panfish, especially for
sunfish and white perch.
Panfish are not only fun to catch,
they are good to eat. Many families
have found panfishing to be a good
way to cut down on their weekly
food bills and provide a nutritious
addition to the family diet as well.
Properly prepared and cooked,
these fish provide a tasty meal.
With the proper equipment (a good
sharp, thin-bladed knife and a cut-
ting board) they can be easily
filleted. Dipped in milk, rolled in
bread crumbs and fried in shorten-
ing or cooking oil, these fillets are
hard to beat.
Where to go to catch a mess of
these tasty critters? Generally pan-
fish can be caught statewide. There
isn’t a county in the state that does
not have a population of one species
or another - and in most waters,
several species. Most rivers or
streams will have sunfish of one
kind or another. Lakes produce
good catches of crappies, yellow
perch and bluegills.
The Pennsylvania Fish Commis-
sion’s Office of Information has
prepared a new publication, “The
Pleasures of Panfishing in Pennsyl-
vania.” The publication will assist
anglers with panfish identification,
filleting, and includes a listing of
some of the more productive waters
for several panfish species. Anglers
may obtain copies of the free publi-
cation by sending a stamped, self-
addressed legal-sized envelope to
Panfish, Pennsylvania Fish Com-
mission, P.O. Box 1673, Harrisburg,
PA 17105-1673.
Try panfishing - it’s a family
fishing fun at its best!
