Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Hope I'm doing this right, a bit unfamiliar with the forum layout. I'm in Anderson (IN) and live in an RV (have family here). Love to panfish and catfish (converted Basser), though don't get out as much as I'd like (and really don't have any excuse). I enjoy going out with my dad (who's 88) any chance I can. We laid into about 50 nice ones (between 8-10") a couple weeks ago (Friend of a friends pond) on crickets and waxworms under floats. Really enjoyed watching pops, we had a good time.

Also new to Kayak fishing, been rigging my Future Beach Angler 144

Hoping to get the Kayak out later this week (waiting on cricket delivery Wednesday).

Not sure what else to add at the moment, but if anyone's close (I've several Indiana folks here), hit me up and maybe we can get together sometime and fish.

No offense, but this is the most confusing site I've ever been on. Just tried posting on the Kayak Group, and messaged all the members instead. Is there some sort of manual explaining how to navigate here? Or am I just an idiot?

Brian you have to be a member in to group to post or you can post it in the Forum if you wish also need to make sure your logged in to BBG.

Nice outfit for sure. Nice fish with your 3 Bucks and the single Hen nice looking.

Thanks Dick, logged-in and joined Group(s), site is entirely too difficult to navigate (sorry).

Hi Brian Im new here to Im from Bourbon Indiana. I love to gill and crappie fish mainly, but like you dont get out as much as I would like to and really dont have any excuses why I dont.
