Do you love big bluegill?

After I was done fishing for the day, I paddled a "sweep" around the shoreline and picked all of these out of the weeds. There's a few in here I'll actually use. They rest I'll give out to kids.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on November 20, 2012 at 3:23pm: I do the same thing, Allen. I rarely turn away from a bobber in the weeds. I also have a large collection of 'donated' soft plastic worms and other tidbits Last season I was given an entire rod/reel combo that had been pulled from the depths. I cleaned it up, lubed it and now tote it along as my "bass stick."

Comment by Allen Morgan on November 16, 2012 at 6:41pm: I found a Night Bobby last year. Still have and use it.

Half of the lures I have are "rescues". Some of them are my most productive lures.

Comment by Vince Fusco on November 16, 2012 at 4:00pm: Good "catch", Allan. For quite a few years now, I make it a point to look for floats whenever I fished a new spot for the first time. I use to display them on mono line that I had strung across my basement ceiling joists. I wish I would have labeled them as to where and when each one was found. (my memory was good back then, and I could recall where most of them came from) Since we moved 3 years ago, they are now in a 5 gallon bucket. I found some unusual ones over the years, and even found one of the lighted Night Bobby's. I may one day hang them in my fishing shed, as they make for some good memories of fishing trips to new waters.

Comment by Allen Morgan on November 16, 2012 at 3:28pm: LOL, no, that's not a float. It's one of my probe thermometers that I got from work. I don't trust my Sonar; the temp reading starts out about right, then within minutes, the indicated temp plunges to about 3 degrees F. I was using my probe therm to monitor water temp. 52 degrees F in the shallow end of the lake (which is where the prevailing wind blows as well, so it warms up nicely), and 46 degrees F up the creek that feeds the lake. I never did take a temp reading in the deep part of the lake when I paddled there.
