Much to my surprise.
It has been several months since I have been into quality bluegill.....mostly because of the recovery period of breaking in this new knee. Made a trip to VFW to fish the bank and while I caught plenty of bluegill nothing of real quality. I decided to drive over to Bedford Lake today and see what I could get into. It has been years since I have fished Bedford and I really did not expect much. Was just hoping for a few decent fish to put a bend into the Eradicator Slow Taper Special. Had the 2017 Daiwa Presso Limited 1025 on the rod spooled with the new Varivas BLue Moon Ajing FC 2# test line. Used a Sow Bug colored Trout Magnet on a Daiwa Gekkabijin 1.5 gram jig head with a #8 hook. I spent about 3 hours there and much to my surprise caught 20 Gills in the 8.5 inch range with a good girth. Had one 9.5 inch shell cracker. Caught a lot of Gills in the 7 inch range also. This will not be my last trip to Bedford.....and will for sure hit it up again come the spring spawn. These fish were a ton of fun on the Slow Taper Special and have nothing but good things to say about the Blue Moon FC line.

Those are some nice looking gills, great that you could get out for some good action.

Good catches, looks like Bedford Lake has a decent population of Panfish. Maybe pull the boat over there one Fall day and sore lip some more?

Glad to see Bedford Lake in good condition. Last time I was there many years ago they had closed the bait shop and no longer weighed and recorded catches. The boat ramp was in bad shape and could not launch my boat. Wonder how the crappie are doing?
