We are all about Bluegill, Big Bluegills ( Bluegills, Sunfishes, Red Ears, Brim family) but not to stop there you will read about many different species of fish even some you may not have known even existed in the Blue Gill world and forums with many picture to share, but our main goal is catching that ultimate giant Gill so we can meet that special goal and maybe some braggin rights along the way.

Do people eat the Rio Grande cichlids

I hear you Mike....my dad was fishing in South Louisiana yesterday with air temperatures in the mid 70s.....our nation is diverse for sure......The mid-atlantic changes quickly and we'll be back in the 60s and 70s here in Northeast N.C. before the end of January...Go Figure! It's hard to predict the winter patterns here but one thing is for sure, spring and summer are on the way!

Nice going Mike....glad you were able to find a few gills......looking forward to Spring in my neck of the woods......

Thanks for the friend request Mike.

Looking forward to your artificial results Mike.....I normally tip with some live bait when  I fish them but the results are great....I like to hear how the different baits work in different regions of the country....

Sure Mike...let's talk fishin'!

Don't you just love technology, Mike? Just think years ago you had to wait days to get your negative exposures back from the lab. Now, you can see your screw up immediately. I like that you made something good of it.

What did Erma Bombeck say?..." When life hands you lemons - make lemonade."

I would be honored to be on your friends list. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I’m sure between me and the rest of the BBG site we will come up with some kind of answer or if you just want to chat that’s fine also. THANK YOU much Dick Tabbert

Mike I like you love to fish and that's for many species of fish. I say that only because while fishing for Gill I catch so many different varieties of fish and I love catching them all. So although I primarily fish for Gills, Crappies and Perch there is not limit to what you catch and I enjoy them all. Enjoy the site there is lots to take in and much to learn. Feel free to contact me any time I will get back with you and if your online and you see me give a shout we can chat in the main room or one on one. Enjoy and here's to spring since ice don't look like it's going to happen here.

Just remember as long as you're fishing Mike you've got a shot to top your best!

I'd be proud to be on your friends list Mike and stay in touch !!!!!!!!!!!
