I hit the water at just before 5 PM this afternoon, started out with my ultralight gear targeting panfish. They were biting well on casts made well back into the shade under boathouses. This one? He was just so pretty! Not all that long, I have caught them much longer than this one. But, this one really had some shoulders, very thick. Cheers!

Good times. Nice Slab! Plus #1. Side Note: Over the years following the Bluegill section of the TFF I do not recall reading a bad post about Athens. It is truly a great fishery.

That Gill is a "FATTY"! Nice slab.  Side Note: Are the sunnies getting ready to spawn on Athens?

Really Big ones on the brush in 20--32 ft of water. Catching them while crappie fishing. But you all know NO CRAPPIE IN ATHENS!
