Next, I changed to the three weight and a prince nymph and fished a bluegill bed patch for all it's worth, which happened to be 13 fish. The color variations were interesting!

Special Time
The time has come for all warm water species to be watchable. I went out today for four things. First, carp. They were in tight to shore tailing. I had the perfect opportunity for a multi carp day, but the sun came out and the wind picked up almost immediately and screwed it up. I had other options. Bass are in the shallows spawning. In this pond they often cruise around feeding in the middle of the day, and it was standing on a rock that I spotted a very nice one. The cast was perfect and I hooked her. A few good jumps and a run later I was holding a nice female largemouth with clear battle scars.

Finally, same rod but a clouser minnow for walleye and perch:

ReplyDeleteI feel sort of left out reading all these blogs showing big bluegills and bass. I am still trying to navigate through a fertilized lake to land some bluegills. Congrats on a great outing
Thank you.
DeleteYou will get a chance eventually, and when you do I know you'll make the best of it. You are a bluegill master!
