Do you love big bluegill?

Of all days to have camera trouble. I may salvage some solo photos if they can repair my Sony.....After 22,000 pictures, and being dropped in the boat over and over...the shutter mechanism quit and trapped most of today's pictures....Had my little Nikon as a back up so I could snap the catch.....32 total Coppernose this afternoon and I kept 20 between 8 to 10 inches.....Released some very pretty fish today as well....Very exciting bite today on Wigglers tight lined in the falling tidal creek......They were striking so hard they would set the hook....

If I could take a camera phone to work I probably would have considered that already Leo....I'll be shopping again if they can't repair the shutter.....I can't complain since it gave me so many memories........

I can always live my fishing dream through you Jeff. So many photos, so much memory. You know, you should invest in a phone that also take good photos, since most smartphones are capable in taking 8MP. Phone + additional camera = another million shots before any of them break down..right..right? LOL Keep those photos coming!

Thanks folks.....Again it has been several years since I fished this hard from the bank and there is a certain amount of satisfaction you get from catching a mess since you're restricted on where you can fish.......These fish were really nice and thick and I needed a nice meal to help with my countdown.........

Good eaters for the cornmeal and peanut oil......these would have been bait where Bruce and Jim were fishing......Water temperatures in the 76 to 78 range today......90s all week should hold those temperatures up there......
