Bluegill Bonanza

[gregsayers2000]

Went to a local pond today and fished redworms on the bottom in 4-8 fow. The bite was eratic but patience paid off. I took home 21 from 3 hours of fishing. Kept a few marginal gills because I gill hooked them and did not want them to go to waste. The 3 largest are just at 9 inches and really fat. This pond holds good numbers of fish but the algae is covering 3/4 of the water. Was tough fishing until the wind came up and moved most of it to one end of the 150 yd long pond. Here are a couple pics to show off the nice gills.

Congrats!

I had a similiar experience this evening. The gills started biting about 5:30pm and did not quit until 8:15pm. I must have caught over 30 of them and used up a whole carton of canadian nightcrawlers!
