Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

For some time now, I've pondered the possibility of starting a blog dedicated to those special instances when our favorite fish gets to spend a few moments in the limelight. My excuse for having not accomplished this task sooner is disturbingly familiar....not enough time. Well that situation has been remedied, at least temporarily, by my family and I enjoying a long overdue vacation.

So as I sit here surrounded by palm trees, nearly overwhelmed by the smell of sunscreen, with waves breaking on the beach and unfamiliar saltwater fishes swimming right offshore, I've decided the time is right to think about bluegills once again.

I don't have any format in mind for this blog whatsoever, and I welcome member input and participation. What I'm envisioning is a place where we can showcase articles, publications, television programs, etc. that deal with fishing for bluegills, raising bluegills, the science of bluegills, lures and tactics for catching bluegills......you get the idea.

If you read an article in print that deals with bluegills, let us know where you found it. If it was a webpage, share the location with the membership. Let's put together a database of bluegill information that will hopefully benefit all of us.

In the weeks to come I hope to post a great many times into this thread. I encourage all of you to do the same. If you read something about bluegills that speaks to you, give us a heads up on where you found it.

In light of the patriotic nature of this past weekend, I will kick things off with this: http://www.fieldandstream.com/articles/fishing/2013/07/red-white-an...

Our very own Nathanael Deloach had an article on BG fishing in the Duluth News Tribune a few weeks ago. The article is archived and not available online without a subscription, but Nathanael has a blog here: http://bigbluegill.com/profiles/blogs/the-death-of-something-grand
