We called those paddlefish when we caught them up in Montana. They are delicious.

When it said spoonbill, I was thinking cranes

[watab kid]

ive heard them called both , they are not easy to catch as they are bottom feeders that sift the sediment for their food , most use a big treble and snag , kinda like sturgeon up in ND/MT

Looks good. My end of the Lake still looks a little muddy from all the rain.

I'll have to see if I can scare up a few crappie this week.

You're cooking them better than I.  I quit fishing for them because I thought they tasted terrible.

Heavy lead weights are used to hold the hooks at snagging depth.  Several years ago I found a good buy on some weights at a tackle store going out of business.  They melted down into casting ingots and I’m still shooting them.
