I'm not usually at a loss for words, but I really don't know what to say about this. Could I buy a vowel?
Matt is apparently unavailable for comment and has gone fishing for Bluegills.
Now I know what to say. Matt, I found your post about bedding gills and high water. I don't know the answer but I also saw that you had been lurking for 2 years without biting on any bait or lure we tossed out. I'm glad you finally got hungry! I know this Untitled post of yours was probably unintentional, but I found it and followed it to your first question in 2 years. Someone on here probably knows the answer. If you do, click on Matts name under the title UNTITLED up there. Then when you get to his home page, find his discussion about nesting gills and clue me and him both in. Please!
My answer is "absolutely yes".
Hi guys, yes I am still out here. I have only checked in here every month or so since the original post. I did very little fishing this year and never hit the right time when the gills were on the beds at my favorite place. I had surgery in May and didn't get back to the wter till the end of July and it was 97 degrees around here most days. Managed to do an annual fishing day with my wifes grandsons, and caught some small gills and a few small bass on a watermelon worm, but that has been it so far. If it ever cools off, I will be back out. We have 90's this week and next. It may not cool off till October!
I missed something here, what is the post by bluegillboogieman in reply to? I could only find the two original posts above his and don't see how it continues the thread.
Matt, I found this totally blank discussion that you posted and asked to buy a vowel. I like to kid around. Then I went to your home page and found the one question you had posted about Where are the nesting gills or something like that. That is when I came back and started asking for a real answer from the forum. Tom Beauchamp of course already gave a real answer but I still want to hear more opinions or even FACTS. This untitled and formerly no description post is now getting a life. I didn't know how to put a link to the real post this was all about, but now I do. Here it is below. I love this site, I'm always finding out stuff I never knew I needed to know.

OK, yeah, I have lurked here for a couple years, just to read what other guys are doing and what they are catching. I don't have much to ad to what these guys say. I just set on the bank with crickets or worms and try to catch enough to eat! Best fishin' I ever had was fishin' this place with my Dad in the evenings after work. No fried fish ever is as good as Mom's was!
Since I got a small boat and got off the bank, I have to say I fish more and enjoy it more. I still want to stay pretty simple, crickets and maybe a worm or two suits me fine. I don't want to work at it. I do want to know all I can about the bedding ins and outs and since joining this site, the ways I can make my fishing future better. I'll admit I am a motor mouth, but some of these people you have to poke with a stick to get an answer. (Crimson sticks are response provoking). I guess you wouldn't be around for two years if you weren't interested. I've often wondered why so few of us actually make posts over time here. I assumed people signed up in passing, asked a question or two, then forgot about us. Looks like some just like to listen! Maybe they look at pictures and we never know? Glad to know you are looking in regular. Did you even know you created this Untitled, no description and formerly empty post back in June?
I started the thread on purpose, but didn't realize I left the subject/header blank.

I have been fishing the same small (4 acre) lake for 40 years. There are about 6 areas the fish nest in. You can generally see them easily from the bank. Last year I watched them spawning for a full afternoon. This past year, there were no beds to watch and no fish in the shallows. We had high water and lots of rain in the spring.
Matt, I knew you started the other blog about the nesting gills on purpose, but this one is not that one. I'm not picking on you, I just got started on this one that was blank in every way it could be for fun with the buy a vowel comment. Then John Sheehan said you must be out fishing, then I came back and said I now knew what to say. The discussion you started about the bedding gills was done right. I don't know why high water affected the spawning. I asked someone who knew to put in their two cents worth. BUT, I did that in this No Name discussion, which was obviously not meant by you to have been actually posted. The other one is the one you wanted an answer to, and because of this mistake and blank discussion, I clicked on your page and looked at your discussion list and found the real one. Once I did that, I wanted to know the same thing you did. Meanwhile, John Sheehan replied to my buy a vowel comment on this blank discussion and it just went from there. A blank, no question, no description discussion is now a real discussion. This is probably going to blow up in my face because the real discussion about what we both want to know about, bedding gills, is on another discussion which is not being discussed by those with the answers. 120 replies is the current record in open discussions for one discussion. If we keep this up, this blank, no title, no question, no description discussion could catch it.

But the real story here is I would never have found your other discussion if not for this formerly blank one. You just never know when nothing will turn into something, or vice versus.
