Do you love big bluegill?
Fishing Campout
Had the pleasure this weekend to host a friend and his son on a fishing weekend camp out. They drove seven hours to get get here so Friday I ferried them upriver 10 miles and let them chase the smallmouth all the way back in an isolated river with hardley any fishing pressure,they had a ball in the 103 degree heat index, they caught lots of smallies and kentuckies out of my canoe ,they released all of them. They wanted to eat some fish while they were here so the next day I took them to an near by oxbow lake that is flooded six times a year by the river, We worked the banks fishing the cypress trees and knobs and caught lots of large free range bluegill, enought in two hours to have a good mess for dinner Sat night .This was the first time they had ever gone bream fishing but they caught on quick. After fish cooked in peanut oil , with fries and hushpuppies they said I was spoiling them,and the bream better watch out when they get home. They are already talking about coming back in Oct. I'll be ready

Thank you very much for that info, BC! My usual spot out there (and they only one I know, really) is Bethany Reservoir, up near the wind farms, a mile or 2 west of Clifton Court Forebay. It has loads of bluegill and I caught a 9" redear last time I…
Is this a rock bass or a type of bream?
My nephew asked me a question are goldfish edidable? I could not say.

Beautiful fish! A Gillzilla!
Hey , I'm a flyroder and use crickets all the time , about the only time I use artificial flys is when I run out of crickets or I'm fishing for smallmouths. The only limitation is it's harder to fish deeper than your flyrod is long but it is possibl…
Yes they are Jim. The lower fish wasn't near the work of the top one.
Will somebody get me some distilled water! I just licked my screen! Thats one awsume lookin fly! Like boggie man said it must be a labor of love because just like his other suggestion. I just use live crickets on a fly rod! HAHA! I wish I coulda see…
Ive got a tackle box full! I love the bitsy minnow. There awsume. I was fishing with my dad and he was casting a bitsy minow while I was draggin crickets. I was embarresed when he was over 20 gills ahead. I had to swallow my pride and ask to borrow…
Cool you fly fish?
Although I usually fish for bass, the most fun I've ever had fishing was when I found myself casting Strike King Bitsy Minnows and Rapala CD1's into a school of bull blue gills suspending under a creek bridge. The action was nonstop.
Since then, I'…
AWESOME question! Pop-up is the main bite early and I call that a "lift".
If you have proper gear- your float will (( lift )) slightly up in the water.
The reason I talk about sensitivity in a setup is that fish eject their food all day long. Somet…

The catfish in my pond are awake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which of those work for you Dale?
Is that cricket PINK?????? Greg, the lengths you have gone to fashion a cricket for a flyrod. I must apologize. I should have told you you could use REAL crickets on a flyrod. # 10 hook, single "B" sinker, small float, rollcast. I've read Shooter's…
Are they skin mounts? If they are, they are very good! Trophy natives!
