Got out yesterday afternoon (glad i didn't stick around to watch the Browns) from 1:00-4:30 after my usual Sunday morning chores were done. Headed to the local 'fishbowl' with some fresh caught baby bluegill from my pond. Original intention was to find crappie suspending in the middle or maybe some yellow perch hugging the bottom. Not happening.
But...... saw pods of bluegill roaming near the surface. Left one rod with deep bobber set about 4' down with a tiny bluegill as bait and worked the rising fish with my other rod..... 1/64oz. black/orange kiptail jig and tiny float attached for casting.
Brought home 7 bluegill that all measured over 8" so worth cleaning and an appetizer on the grill one night. Candy would have liked to go but would not have made it down the rocks too gracefully. Did help me clean them tho.
Could not beat the weather - mid 60's with partly sunny skies. 80+ acres all to myself, not another single angler.
Did catch a nice dark colored smallmouth on the tiny jig and 2 channel cats on the bait/bobber. Not much of a report, but fun day and enough action to keep me busy.
