Sometimes I get tips, suggestions on where I might catch a new fish species. Of course the easiest way to do this is to launch a boat and range far and wide, but I'm trying to place a geocache near each new species catch site, so we are mostly talking bank fishing here.
I had a hot tip on a species called "Mooneye". I've been after this one for years.
On the way down to the site I passed a really old cemetery. Said to be haunted.
Old stones. Felled by time, but still trying to preserve memories.
And then on with the fishing. On about the second cast up came this guy!
Yes he does have weird eyes, but this is a Sauger. And is a new species for me. So of course I had to work it up for a Strange Fish geocache. This cache container is not fish shaped - this would be a tough one to do - but does contain a handy guide to help folks tell the difference between Sauger and their close cousin the Walleye.
