It's warming up, but I haven't had a chance to get out and really fish yet. In a couple weeks I'm heading to the Detroit River for a shot at some big walleyes. Until then I hope to make a quick run to a pond or creek to wet a line. The crappie are starting to wake up from what I hear, and hopefully the sunnies and gills will not be far behind.

I've added a couple pictures of an ice fishing trip a month or so ago with by Bluegill Buddy - Brett. It was his first ice fishing adventure and after hanging in there for almost 3 hours and catching a couple nice gills and one redear he asked, "When are we going again?" That was music to my ears!!

I just joined up. It is great to see a website for the thousands of people who grew up to appreciate the mightiest of all gamefish!
Like many anglers I cut my teeth catching little gills with a bobber, hook, and self-dug worm at a small farm pond. Now I like to use any technique possible to entice the bite and the fight of a big bull!
