Do you love big bluegill?
Joe's Flies
Has anyone ever used any of the spinner baits from this company? If yes, how well do they work?

Dave,
I have used some of Joe's Flies. I picked them up for cheap money at Wal-Mart. I have an oragne, chartreuse and a "Joe's Favorite" stlye. They work well with ultra light spinning gear and a pinch-on weight attached to the shank of a snaplock.
Good Fishin'!

I was drawn to Joe's Flies by my interest for fishing trout in the North Carolina mountains. They were small but I could still cast them well enough on my 5' spinning gear set up (it was really a crappie rod). They are nice for a number of reasons, you can quick change the fly's on the spinners, you can use any fly on the spinner and of course it caught any kind of fish in the stream. I targeted trout but I caught plenty of b-gill and smallies on it as well. The only thing I recomend is to practice and see how it casts on the rod you plan to use. If you don't need to cast more than 10 yards for small stream situations then you should be fine, but if you need to cast farther some weight would need to be added. Also, you can fly fish with these but it takes some getting use too as they are not too friendly for the fly rod. Hope this helps and good luck!

Ditto, but they shut up after going with or eating the results.
Aw shucks there I go making a fool out of myself on line again. Sorry about the whole rooked thing, I saw that was on a different post of one of your pics Zach. I'm a little paranoid about Google, so thats where that came from. I've gotta work on my…

My stomach usually doesn't give the scales enough time to join in on the action though.
They are a very different fish I'll say that. The best I have figured so far is that they like the bottom and live bait, not to say that they wont strike an artificial, it takes some real skill though from what I can gather and I really admire those…
I was kind of worried about that, but I have seen some variations of Hybrids look this way, or at least that is what was posted on the internet.
We always called these black pearch.

I am still trying to figure out how to fish for Redear. I have not had much luck with them. The seem to be pretty smart.
Do you have tricks you would like to share on catching these guys?
Did you happen to get the weight of any of these fish?
They fight just like a big bluegill. I am told you can eat them but haven't tried yet. The ones we caught today went to a friend who has a pet shop. I wouldn't mind trying them though. They are local to south Texas and I would imagine that they eat…
Oops sorry Zach I forgot about need a trout stamp on your license.
Bank access has improved since they began stocking trout back in the late 90's. As of now State regs require a trout license to fish it during the season ($10). If you plan to launch a boat you will need a permit. Not sure about other options as far…
About the only time you can fish Pawhuska from the bank is when they drop the lake for trout season. There is no cost to fish it.
I know, I will have to try it out this fall when the temps drop a bit. Can you fish it from the bank at all, and is there a cost to fish it?
Oh brother, Zach living in Northeast Oklahoma and having not fished this lake before......Let me tell you.
A spring fed 90 Acres of Heaven.
The wildlife department comes in and stocks trout every other week from November until the end of March (bl…
Cedric you are truly gifted to be capable of putting things like this into the words they way that you do. I've been reading your posts, you have just gained a huge fan. Cant wait to hear more from you!
I have yet to fish lake Pawhuska, is it a nice lake? Did they stock everything in it?
So how do they fight and can you eat them?
