Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I tried....gathered all my gear and went to the ponds...knew I couldn't walk out on it, but thought I might sit in a jonboat....Wrong! Only 1" of ice, wouldn't even support my weight when distributed by the boat.

Fortunately, I'm an old hand at fishing skinny ice, and had tied a rope to a tree and payed out line as I kicked the boat out. Once in the middle I hadn't sat still for 30 seconds when the ice just collapsed beneath the boat.

I just used the rope to pull myself back to shore and climbed out. Never got to wet a line, but never got myself wet either!!
