Comment by John Sheehan on September 22, 2011 at 7:32am: Lots of gills coming off wood cover and floating docks(anchored off shore)deeper shorelines are target areas.32nd oz. feather ,marabou or Bucktail Jigs tipped with crawler pieces or Twister tails are really banging them consistently.

Comment by John Sheehan on April 29, 2011 at 5:59am: 1/16 th oz Beetle Spin catching Gills,Bass up tp 14",White Perch and Yellow Perch here in NJ .Good lure ,thanks guys!

Comment by Mike on December 14, 2010 at 6:10pm: I'm pretty sure he caught that on a very small beetle spin, 1/32 oz. if I remember correctly.

Comment by chris on December 14, 2010 at 5:05pm: mike,

what did your son catch that on. that is a good looking fish.

Comment by Jim Gronaw on December 9, 2010 at 8:21pm: Wow! Those are sensational northern strain bluegills! Locally here in Maryland, I got maybe a dozen 10 inch gills this year, about a dozen 10 to 11 inch shellcrackers and perhaps 15 GSFXBG hybrids that ran from 10 to 11 3/4 inches.

Ten inch bluegills are high quality fish anywhere in the country. Those 10 inchers you are catching are comparable to 12 inches in the south.

Great job!

Comment by Mike on December 9, 2010 at 7:05pm: Here's a 10" CT Bluegill that my son caught a few years ago. It just made the 10" mark and he got a CT DEP Catch and Release pin for it.

Comment by chris on December 9, 2010 at 6:37pm: mike i completely agree i only got 1 10" gill last season and only an hand full in the 9 range. i catch all my big ones during the spawn.

Comment by Mike on December 9, 2010 at 6:25pm: In my experience, true 10" Bluegill in CT are pretty special fish. I have caught one that was pushing 11", but even 9.5" Bluegill are really nice fish here in CT.

Comment by chris on December 7, 2010 at 7:25pm: in the first pond i have heard of some real hogs like 11 or 12 inches. i caught some nice 10 inchers in there. the second lake does not have many gills but it has some big pumpkin seeds and jumbo perch.
