Late January 2022

Barely squeaked in a fishing trip before the end of January! A buddy introduced me to a new-to-me place, and a new-to-me species…Ozark Sculpins! Caught at least 10 sculpins…not sure if they are all Ozarks or not. The location we fished has Banded and Mottled Sculpins as well.

Also caught some Rainbow Trout, 3 Smallmouth Bass, 1 Striped Shiner, 1 bluegill, and one green sunfish.

As usual a nice variety Dave. The sculpins were cool to see.

Sounds like a great day of fishing. Those sculpins have a face that only a mother could love.:slight_smile:

Thanks, Dennis!

They look a bit like a cross between a Mudskipper and an Australian Flathead Fish.

Nice photos David - appears the micro jig works its magic!

Thanks, Dale! Sometimes I feel like…“if it doesn’t hit a microjig, I don’t wanna catch it.” But, everything hits them. :slight_smile:
