Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Late December open water slab gill fishing

I live in northern Ill. and I have and was looking for an open water opportunity to hire a guide for 2-3 days of open water gill fishing. I plan on driving to the southern destination Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to Big BlueGill Mark. Come on down South, the fishing is fine. If I had the chance, I would go to Jeffery D. Abney's part of the world. He has a beautiful area to fish. See if you can  contact him.

Kentucky Lake is a great place to fish for bluegill and crappie in early winter. I know the area really well if you need suggestions on where to stay, what to do, etc.
