Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Some of you have probably noticed the recently featured material in the form of a few blog posts from yesteryear......we love seeing your photos here at BBG, but traditionally, we have always had a soft spot for the nuts-and-bolts, how-to's, and tips and techniques that allowed you to catch that BG in the first place!

So, in the days and weeks to come I will be perusing the archives, looking for lost treasures.....the kinds of stuff that made BBG the GO TO place for bluegill content on the web, and I will be dusting these gems off, and letting them sparkle in the light of day once again.

If there's a piece you remember reading, or better yet one that helped improve your catching abilities, let me know and I'll see if I can find it.....lots of newer members may not have gotten to see it on the first go-round!

AND, if you have an idea, or technique, or methodology that works well for you, please consider sharing it with us right here on these pages!  I know we have the best group of Bluegill anglers in the country right here and now, so let's hear what you've got!

Definitely all for it. Since I much less time than the rest of the avid anglers in bring home the gills, I'll gladly humble myself and be called a "Rookie".

as its been said before;;  no ONE person;; can think of all the different ways; and techneics;;;;  to be able to fish..  but with a combination;; of all ;; we can let every one share; what we have learned; from different areas.  it might help you; as well as others in your areas

Great idea Tony! This place is a Library of fishing info!

thanks tony-i think new members should be encouraged to use the search feature.easy way to find any thing in the archives for anything discussed here
