A few people on here have expressed interest in booking a trip with me at some point, so I thought I'd share a few pics of fish caught earlier this week by a couple guys who drove down from Illinois: [img:center]  bluegill-7-may-1-2013 by tnpondmanager, on Flickr[/img] [img:center]  bluegill-5-may-1-2013 by tnpondmanager, on Flickr[/img] [img:center]  big-double-may-1-2013 by tnpondmanager, on Flickr[/img] [img:center]  shellcracker-3-may-1-2013 by tnpondmanager, on Flickr[/img] [img:center]  pond-2-shellcracker-may-1-2 by tnpondmanager, on Flickr[/img] [img:center]  17-oz.-may-2-2013 by tnpondmanager, on Flickr[/img] [img:center]  20-oz.-may-2-2013 by tnpondmanager, on Flickr[/img] [img:center]  bluegill-may-1-2013 by tnpondmanager, on Flickr[/img] [img:center]  1-lb.-10-oz.-may-1-2013 by tnpondmanager, on Flickr[/img]

My rates are pretty cheap as private water guides go - $300 per day for one or two people.
Thanks for the compliments, guys!

Thanks for the compliments, guys! How many gills can each angler keep for the table?

Thanks for the compliments, guys! How many gills can each angler keep for the table? Normally I allow five bluegill under 9" per day per angler. But at the moment I have two ponds I am wanting to thin out some of the 7-8" northern-strain bluegill in so I can transplant some coppernose into them, and I would allow twenty or so in that size range per day per angler, from one of those two ponds. Although we might have to work for those smaller ones, as they average well over 9" in one of those ponds and may be averaging close to 9" in the other pond (haven't fished it yet this year). They average over 10" in my best pond but we don't keep any out of that pond.
