05-25-09 Tips and Tactics for Fighting and Landing Large Pickerel
Just because the Bluegill angler is going after Monster Gills doesn't mean that he or she may find themself fighting the trophy of a lifetime of another fish species (Bass, Catfish, Pike, Pickerel, etc). Since many Trophy Gills inhabit shallow, weedy lakes one may find a large or even trophy size pickerel on the end of their line as these hard fighting fish inhabit similar waters! Larger Pickerel often prefer baits of 3 inches +, subtle and more natural colors in bait selection tend to be the ke… Continue

Any chance I can convince you to come to the Forum next month? You would have a blast and meet some awesome dudes who could help you with your pond projects.
Anyhow, I sure can't wait until you DO get that piece of land...it's impossible to describe when you finally walk your land and know it's yours...amazing.
I will try to check out your pix ASAP - summer has me so busy trying to get my fish growing and working I will most likely not catch up with anything until Winter. Any chance you'll be looking for your place by then?
I sure am anxious to help you out...you let me know if you ever need any advice or guidance and I'm here for ya my bro.

- Yo bro!
LONG time...had a crazy last year plus in business swimming to keep everything floating. Sorry I've been away nearly three months...how is the fishing coming for you?
I have tons to relate, but most of it is pond related and sadly not fishing related!

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.
I have seen one goldfish about the size of a small carp around 17 inches.
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…
good one Josh
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!
