A few for Dinner!

Fish are still very active in area water bodies! Caught a few for dinner the other day. Fish are holding in water 4 to 6 feet deep next to overhanging tree limbs and docks. Worms was the bait of choice. Fish were caught using both float and bottom techniques with ultra light tackle. Fished from 9am till 1pm and caught about 50 fish. Kept 10. Catching a few nice sunnies for dinner on a local water body. It just don't get any better!

Nice catch

Thanks "Csantanna" for the reply! It has been a pretty good fall bite so far!

Good eats! Nice catching, Chuck.

Thanks Bob for the reply! Yes Sir they fried up real nice.




Side Note: Front coming in tomorrow morning. Looks like mid week may be pretty good.

Looks good and I know tastes good.

Nice catch, glad the fish are still biting

In a Creek, under a fallen tree..

Nice Bucket-O-Perch there Chuck !

Those will stink the pan real good !

Good job Banker...Modelo's on deck

Nice! How do you guys catch bream is such shallow water?

Nice catches

Thanks guys for the replies! Also nice fish "Chiprat" . "WillieRip": When I caught these they were in shallow water holding by structure such as docks and trees. Now that this cold front has passed through they have moved to deeper water 10 to 15 feet and are holding by ledges and drop offs. When fishing in shallow water I simply Texas Rig a half of a night crawler and bounce it off of the bottom. I pitch the worm at spots that look good.

been a while since i cleaned these type of guys, but friends kids are catching them like crazy from our dock and begging me to cook them - i can cook them but need some updating on cleaning them - any good YouTube references that you suggest?

Thank you for the reply! YouTube has plenty of very good videos you can watch on cleaning and cooking Bluegill. Google cleaning Bluegill and you will find some great information. As for me I clean my Bluegill by scaling em,gutting em,and then cutting the heads offs. I have friends who fillet them. There are many ways to cook them. As for me I love frying them. Fresh Bluegill are very hard to beat!.

Great post Chuck! Looks like winter is setting in! Are you going to be hitting the Crappie trail? Far east side has been good all year!



Side Note: PM sent!

Can't believe I missed this post. Well done and dinner looks great!

great looking plate.

Thanks Curtis,Andrew,and "chas1" for the replies. Love those sunnies!




Side Note: Thanks Curtis got the PM!

Nice eaters! Good job.

Thanks "Gitter"!

East side bite has slowed down a bit after this last rain! Water is very muddy! Will try it sometime during the holidays.

Me and Mike hit the west side and it was very slow. Water is clearing up some. Colder weather is on the way this upcoming weekend. Hopefully this will jump start some fish.
