<p>I'm new here, but have been chacing blue and catfish all my life. I had gotten away from fishing, but when dad died in 2007 I took it up again. Since then I've designed a new float and started a YouTube channel.<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2059854235?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2059854235?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p>Hello everyone just wanted to get your opinions on the best slip bobber for bluegill. I consider myself an experienced fisherman and have never had good luck with slip bobbers. They always get tangled and end up not sliding up my line properly. Any information on which ones and how you set them up would be great. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks and tight lines :) </p>

Ive gotten so busy lately with my job and recently moving out on my own. I really want to stay focused on fishing again. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I am really interested in starting to pour my own soft plastics for crappie and bluegill baits. Also I wanted to start making my own jigs as well. I have never done this before but have a huge interest in it and would love to get started. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I was hoping I could get some useful tips on starting to make both. Whats the cheapest best way to start? Good things to buy? Etc. </p>

<p>Hi everyone let me start off by telling you that I love this website and all its members. It brings me a lot of joy when I cant actually be on the water. So thank you guys! </p>

<p>Okay so I am 18 years old and just moved out on my own. Im working full time and haven't been able to do what I truly love very often. My passion is fishing I absolutely love it.

<p>Okay so I am 18 years old and just moved out on my own. Im working full time and haven't been able to do what I truly love very often. My passion is fishing I absolutely love it. Growing up I really had no one in my life who was into fishing so how i got into it is beyond me but somehow i got my self obsessed. All I do in the summer months (when im free) is fish. Im talking almost every day I would wake up at 5am to be on the water. If im not actually on the water im watching YouTube videos or reading as many articles and books that I can find on the subject. </p>
<p></p>
<p>If I had to pick a specific target it would have to be bluegill but pan fish in general are what im really into. To be honest though all fish interest me and I hope to one day catch every type of freshwater fish in america. </p>
<p></p>
<p>So what im reaching out to you guys for is some ideas of careers based around fishing. I'm talking anything as long as it has to do with something with fishing. I want to one day do what i truly love as a career. I have thought about trying to become a guide but I'm not in the state where i want to be for that and do not have the experience yet. I also have thought about going the other route and going to school to further help my goal of having a career in fishing. Maybe a fisheries biologist? </p>
<p></p>
<p>I am open to any ideas. College or no college it doesn't matter. I am willing to work very very hard. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I appreciate any feedback and thank you guys so much! </p>

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I was wondering if any of you fly fisher's out there had a go to pattern for big bluegill. Somethat that seems to attrach big bluegill better than the little guys. A lot of times while fishing for bluegill with small ant patterns I will see a big fish but have 20 little fish on my fly before the big fish even gets a chance to see it. And I know there will probably still be little guys chasing just about fly but I figured I would ask and see.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also do you guys…</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Also do you guys have an out of the box pattern that you use for tricky fish? I have a little pond near my house with some pretty nice pumpkinseeds, warmouth and bluegill but I have not been able to catch any of them on the fly. They have chased afew and hit afew but the few times they did hit I missed them, they seem to just sit in the sun. However, my friend who fishes with worms catches them left and right. The fish seems to be pretty picky to flies as I have tried just about everything I have from woolly buggers to small ants, dries, nymphs and all that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any help is appreciated! Pictures are always good too. :)</p>

<p>My favorite ways to cook bluegill are beer battered and your basic cornmeal and flour combo.</p>

<p>Wanted to get some responses back on this.... If you had to throw everything out but one what would it be. Strictly for bluegills and also just assume that you could have unlimited number of that bait but only one bait/type/size/color forever. </p>
