goin to my bream hole today will post pics later

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

Can't wait to see them..these were caught in 10 feet of water on red worms.
6 pound test , Garcia 101 , Lightening rod light
Also caught 12 bass on the red worms...only 2 bluegills needed to be thrown back..and they were 8 inchers. These average between 9 and 11 1/2 inches.
Best bluegill day I've ever had .:)
The reason this lake is so hot is because it's been closed ot the puiblic for about 30 years. It was reopened last June.
Lake Fish Hook again.
God is wonderful and His mercy endureth forever.

mabey ill get to go the person might have cancelled earlier and i cant go there by my self ( cant drive there ) but a 1 lb fish is average and have caught some 14 inchers out of there and carppie up to 2.5 lbs. The bass are average though about three lbs is a big un considering the pond size but a ton of 1 lbers.;)

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

Took a little over 1 1/2 hours to fillet them all. I raise the red worms under my rabbit cages.They are about 5 inches long and very hearty.
My new depth finder worked very nicely...I still need to reread the manual..lot's of different settings. We are having bluegills tomorrow for dinner. I got 6 meals of them,
Take care.

LOL ...the trash man comes Tues. and Fridays. I hate to say this but I try and put honesty first...if it smells bad..I find a local dumpster that empties daily.:(Sorry ,
Just being honest.

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

was one options i was thiinking of to while asking the q- dumpsters:D

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

WOW...!!... Those are some AWESOME bluegills, Chuck...Nice catch...

I don't know of anyplace locally where I can get bluegills of THAT size on a regular basis, although one of the Finger Lakes, Honeyoye, comes close with limit catches of 9-10 inchers being routine during the spawn...

I always make sure to make a few trips for bluegills during may and early June to stock my freezer.. They are favorite eating fish...Little buggers FIGHT like demons, too, for thier size...

"although one of the Finger Lakes"

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

That looks as though you had some great fishing Cuck, congrats!

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

I took a fellow teacher with me..He caught 23 himself. We only threw back two 8 inchers..the rest were between 9 and 11 1/2 inchers. It was my best bluegill fishing ever . I tried some out this evening. The fillets were mite and worm free and very good eatting. I'm going back Sat. morning with Matt.
have a nice evening Phil

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

sounds like another good outing and eatin;)

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

Not blue gills but we had a blast catching these crappies, this is the biggest one I have ever caught. We caught alot of thirteen inchers but this one was fifteen. We were using ultra light rods with 4lb test and pinky jigs. They all went back in the water too. We don't have alot of crappies in this lake that size. We do have alot of 10 inch males and those are the ones we will keep if we need a mess of fish.

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

Well poop the picture didn't load...

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

Trying again, I'm still new at this!;)

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
 

Wow thats a good haul of fish you got there. Your tummy must be full.

RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
