Bruce, most all the state lakes and watersheds here are stocked with these tasty warhorses. I have caught them on crickets, jigs some crank baits and nightcrawler pieces. I tie a 1/100 Cabelas black or yellow head with squireltail and tip with nightcrawler ,but when they are really biting no tail tip is nessasary. I have also found that a bottom presentation with worms or crickets is best when worked like you are plastic worm fishing for bass. A pick up and move about a foot at a time will produce tons of bites, you just have to keep a tight line on your and be ready for that freight train hit.. Dangit I'm ready for spring..hahahaha
BlueGill Godzilla, Those are some nice shellcracker. I am only 65 miles from Guntersville but have only fished there for bass. I've been waiting on an invite from a buddy who does cracker fish it but he has been real busy and never has the time. I have heard that Guntersville is the best in the state for cracker fishing with big bulls which are over 2 lbs taken quite often. I am planning on a march or april visit 2012..may see you there
HaHa just givin you a hard time Doc. Keep me in mind I'll always be ready, were both just to busy and to far away.. Well bruce hope your house is moving along email me sometime...
Gotcha. Yes, I am very fortunate to live in such close proximity to Dr. Bluegill. Even more blessed to see him give my son pointers and my wife catch a nearly 10" HBG with him in attendance. Oh, and that crappie... Anyway, you're not too far away and if it's more CSBG you want, I'm sure Bruce and some of his friends could get them to you. But here we are hijacking a RES thread. Back on topic! :D
