Bow To Your Gills
Yes i have said it Bow to Your Gills. What is this all about? The gills of winter can be finicky and all be it jsut hard for many to catch. With many new ice rods on the market the lite bite is now easier detected. There are now new spring bobbers that are ultra sensitive, there are ones that are fixed to your rod and even ones that are adjustable that help you fine tune your presentation. These may help detect the bites, but it is at a loss to many to seal the deal with a successful hookup.… Continue

Wrong way retirement
Never heard of anyone retiring from the South to the North? Well, I did it, but don't tell anyone, because it is a high crime and a sure sign of insanity. They're still looking for me, and it won't be long now.... I retired from the University of West Florida and moved to Kalamazoo to join my wife in her news and book store. My one compensation is that we are amply supplied with big bluegills! My best was almost 11", caught just down the road in one of the ponds we keep secret and where we hide… Continue

My bluegill poem
The water, calm, clear and blue
Mesmerizes me as I search for you.
A gently laid fly, only to lure
A beautiful vibration will be the cure.
I grip the rod when I feel it jerk
Swiftly I pull, as I watch my hand work.
As my prize begins to surface and grow
I feel all tingly, my face aglow.
At last I’m able to pull it in
A big beautiful bluegill is my win.
Mesmerizes me as I search for you.

A beautiful vibration will be the cure.
I grip the rod when I feel it jerk
Swiftly I pull, as I watch my hand work.
As my prize begins to surface and grow
I feel all tingly, my face aglow.
At last I’m able to pull it in
A big beautiful bluegill is my win.

Amazing
Imagine my surprise to open my email this morning and see a friend request from Scott Hudson, son of T.S. Hudson. I can tell the two of us have created quite the stir on the Big Blue Gill page. I never thought we'd find out about Mr. Hudson's fish! I'm excited and thrilled as all of you are. Maybe between Scott and I we can piece together where some of the fiction starts and the facts end.
And thank you all for your comments and encouragement. I just wish I had time to get out…
