A Couple of Good Days!

Been having to work pretty hard finding places to fish. Most of my spots are either flooded, creeks up to their banks, rivers have very fast currents, ponds are all overflowing, and yes there is plenty of muddy water to go around also. The good news I did manage to get a couple of GOOD DAYS and found some very good fish. I also made a couple of road trips and met up with my buddy Fred aka Rionator. We caught some BIG Bluegill ! The sunfish are in full spawn and are on nest. Catching fish in 3 to 16 feet of water depending on the type of waterbody. Beds were found in shallow coves three to five feet of water in grass beds, 12 feet of water on rock bottoms, and in 4 to 5 feet of water by reed beds. Had several Bluegill close to a pound and a half. Most fish were over a pound. A lake and a creek produced good numbers. Rivers, most creeks, and ponds were slow. All fish were caught on the "Bait of Champions" worms. All were released to fight again. Also had to dodge some down pours. Looks like a wet week ahead. Waterbodies should be in great shape for the long hot summer! Searching for new fishing spots and catching trophy Bluegill and Redear. It just don't get any better!

WTG Chuck...I think I know that 1st fish...his name is Charlie

Holy cow that first one is a big bluegill ! (And I'm not surprised that Vogey is on a first name basis with him)

WOW!!! What a trip you and Fred had. Those are some humongous toads right there. Congratulations.

Those are some big boys, I bet they put up a fun fight to bring in. Great job!

Very nice. Y’all two together have caught some giants over the years

Thanks Andrew! Yes Sir Fred aka Rionator is BIG FISH finding machine!

I need to get out there. Rain and high water in my area messing me up. Flooding has actually had the highway to one of my hotspots closed a few times lately.

Nice big bluegills!

Curtis: Good deal you will have a great trip!

Big Ones for sure. Good job guys. Where are you catching your bigger fish. Lakes, rivers, or creeks?

Thanks Gitter for the reply. Catching the bigger fish in the creeks 6 to 8 feet of water by thick grass beds.

Thanks Chuck. I figured during the hot days of summer those grass beds would provide some good cover.
