Do you love big bluegill?
Bluegills in Illinois/ Indiana
Anybody within this group that has found Bluegills or Redears in the 8-10 inch class in IL or Ind? I live in the Chicago metro area and have fished statewide everywhere from natural, man made lakes, and farm ponds. No consistent success with the exception of Willow Slough in NW Ind until the state drained lake. Looking for a new spot..
