Winter Time Bluegill & Redear!

Fished the Guadalupe River and found a bunch of nice Bluegill and Redear stacked up by a dock in 14 feet of water. There was also a brush pile very close by. Caught over fifty and if I was going to take some home I would have had a mess to clean. They were lucky that sunfish was not on the distant menu. Fish were on the bottom and worms were used. All were released to fight again! Getting in some good Bluegill and Redear winter time action. It just don't get any better!

Nice going Chuck

Thanks Andrew! Love those ACTIVE wintertime fish.

WTG Chuck!

Nice slabs!!

Those red ears are good eating and they have some meat on them. We used to fish for them on Palestine during the spawn. Those beds looked like a honeycomb.

Thanks Yesenia,Alan,and Champion Fish for the replies. Champion Fish: Yes Sir those are some good eats! Love finding those winter time sunnies.

Nice Fish!

Thanks BendaRod(WC) for the reply!

Nice fish Chuck. It's always a good thing we you can some winter sunnies! You finding any Crappie? Also have you fished any creeks this winter?

Thanks Gitter for the reply. I fished my first creek of the year the other day and the sunnies were active. Caught some nice ones! As for the Crappie bite it has been slow for me. None of my spots are holding any numbers.

Thanks Chuck for the update! Hopefully the Crappie will start showing up at some of your docks! Looking forward to seeing more creek post this year!

As I always say. "Keep Fishing and Good Things Will Happen"!

Nice fish Chuck. Looks like a pretty good sunfish year ahead. Love it when you can find some nice winter sunnies.



Side Note: I am finding some eggs in some of the Bluegill. How about you?

Get those gills.

Thanks Curtis and Don for the replies! Curtis: I am finding eggs in some of the Bluegills I have recently caught! Looks like an early Spring spawn for sure!

I totally agree!
