The Hunt for Alabama Bluegill

[Jason Martin]

     Hey guys I have just gotten back into fishing about two weeks ago because a friend had invited me to go with him one day.  My wife said that might have been a big mistake because since then I have bought four rod and reals and a lot of tackle and go fishing almost every morning before work.  I have always loved to fish for bluegill and crappie because they are so much fun to catch and my mom and now my wife love to eat them.  That being said I have never fished in Alabama before two weeks ago so I have no clue what lakes and ponds have the good fish in them.  So I have decided to start fishing every lake or pond that I can find and get on starting closest to my house since I go most before work,

     This blog will contain a log of all of the fishing spots that I find along with all of the fish that was caught and what lures.  The way that I a trying to find the lakes to fish is with google earth. I will be trying to stay away from the larger public lakes that generally get over fished and the fish learn to stay away from the hooks until I get a little better at fishing again.
