Great looking gills there. Congrats!
I thought I would come contribute a little report to this forum after a good 2 hours of fishing yesterday afternoon. Fished a spot from the bank on Wheeler Reservoir in Decatur, AL that has produced in years past. I found some nice sized males on the bed in a stretch of shallow water against some rip rap. Caught these fish on a squirrel tail jig and Berkley Honey Worms under a bobber about 2 FT deep in 3-4 FOW. Fished from 6 PM until just before dark and caught somewhere around 50 fish total, kept these 21 for the freezer. The cooler weather we've had the previous 2 weeks of May had kept the fish off the bed in this spot, but the timing was just right yesterday. We've had some nice warm weather since the weekend and I believe things are getting really nice for the bluegill spawn heading into the full moon next week around our area.

Good catch and even better eating. Thanks for the pics and report!
A great short trip! That’s going to be one really good meal when those fillets get cooked.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
I couldn’t help myself, had to go back this afternoon but for about 5 hours this time. Caught at least 75 fish and kept around 30-40 fish as best I kept count. I found another few beds down the shoreline from where I fished 2 days ago. I did it old school today with the bream buster and a tube of crickets. Was a warm afternoon, but was such a blast pulling fish after fish out of the water on that long, limber pole! One of the better sized fish I caught below. I’ll try to remember to come back and update with the full haul when I clean fish tomorrow morning.
