Filling the cooler with gills

Went to go see if I could catch some gills an didnt disappoint, started at 830am and finished at 12 ended trip with some good solid fish, biggest right at 9inch or so, all males except 1 female full of eggs caught 2ft an less water off lay down piles off edge of bank in shade. BAIT red worms under float and small jig under float kept some for a fish fry. I have been really getting into gill fishing an man it's fun. Ready for the big ones to move in.

Nice haul Ricky87! Good job.



Side Note: Seeing any nest?

Starting to see some not alot I think they are starting, The water temp was 69 degrees pushing 70 I side scanned for 30.mins around reeds an rght off the grass line an didnt see alot of beds I think in next week it will change

Way to go. Nice haul

Nice catch...but that there looks like a lot of work !

Give it another week! Things should change. I think we are going to see three or possibly four spawns this year! Again nice haul!

Thanks guys it was alot of work but well worth it for sure

Nice mess of fish. Those will fry up good!

Nice haul. Good job.



Side Note: What part of Texas are you fishing?

I'm about 40 miles from Dallas just south east.

Thanks. Again nice haul!

Give it another week or two and you should start seeing plenty of Bluegill Nest!

Thanks guys

You fishing Cedar Creek?

Nice catch! Youu fishing Cedar Creek?
I need to get back into bream fishing, so relaxing. That and crappie.
Crickets are great just a little tricky to find around dfw.

No not cedar creek mill creek canton using red worms an jigs under a float waiting to start catching them on beds

Gotcha. Fun watching the Bobber bounce!

Yes very fun I love mill no pleasure boaters all fishing only allowed

When I was a kid we use to kill the gills on Lake Palestine with crickets. Looks like I need to breakout the 3wt flyrod and have some fun.

I regret not getting my pole out earlier. Couldn't take my off the pond during my jog. I'm sure bluegills are biting everywhere considering the weather.

I see those nice crappie in there too.....

Well I did catch those to SK I guess I missed one in the cooler.

Nice catch Ricky!

Thanks Pop R
