Good to hear you got out fishing Dick, sounds like you did good!! What lake did you go to?.

Good for you!  I haven't been out in well over a month.  Just one thing or the other always getting in the way.

I hope to get out a couple more times this year before the snow flys but who knows.

That's pretty cool you have your own pond.  I sure wish I did!  I was always going to build one when I lived in the country but now being in town that'll never happen!  Oh well, could have, would have, should have.

I'll let you know if I get out anymore.  Stay safe!

Dick,

 I would agree...the Pumpkinseeds are a Beautiful little fish. They would make a fine addition to your pond. Bluegill, Pumpkinseeds and sunfish can cross breed to create hybrids as well.

 Glad to hear you had a good day fishing !!

Glad you had a good time. We drained the shrimp pond until we could see the bottom and there wasn't one shrimp left. Guess between the algae, lack of oxygen, turtles, snakes,  and lack of water, we lost them all. But, we learned a lot and will try again next year.

thank you dick for the great welcome. I have a question how do you post pictures and videos?

Thanks dick. I'm slowing reading all the attached literature whenever I can.

Thanks for the welcome Dick! I'm new to Bluegills but not to fishing. I'll be busy doing a bunch of reading and I'll post pictures as I learn!

Thanks for the welcome Dick.....

Just wanted to tell you our shrimp pond almost did a turnover due to the hot weather, and the amount of algae in it. I think we finally got it fixed before it was too late. Lost about 3 dozen big ones. Tomorrow morning I'll go down early and see if pumping water through all day helped.

Dick, thank you for the welcome. I am pretty excited to read, learn and then apply it to my fishing. Thank you for allowing me into this excellent community. I will indeed offer my questions and enjoy this community who LOVES to fish. Thank you again!

yes sir...your right....coppernose...some of the old salts here in fl call them copperheads..either way they are a thrill to catch..been catching them on grass shrimp next to road bridge pilings...

thanks for the greet...im glad i found this great site..wow loaded with great stuff..are there any copperhead people in florida in your membership...been here 40 plus years and bg's are my favorite fish to catch..thanks again... will be soaking up the great info on this site and will be happy to add if i can....ep out

Hi, wanna be carver,  Did not get to do much fishin' this year - windy weather, other dog-boarding duties, etc..  May still get out with my son, Pat, to a nice farm pond nearby.

If, like most beginning carvers, you have sharpening challenges, let me know (with mailing address) and I will send you a copy of my book, "On the Cutting Edge, a Wood Carvers Guide to Tool Sharpening".  Website is:  http://lwmose0.tripod.com/otceBOOK.htm .  Book is described within website.

Thanks dick I really love bluegill fishing this is a really good site I know iam going to love it, thanks for the welcome.

Thank you much for the welcome. I have just started back fishing for panfish after a 30 year haitus. Being I can only make it to saltwater once a month I realized how much fun I was missing out by not throwing in fresh water here by the house. Picked up a flyrod June 1st and have had as much fun catching these bluegills, Redears, and Greenies as a speckled trout or redfish. My wife has also started fly fishing for these lil monsters. Funny how a 12" Redear can change one's whole life.

Thanks for the welcome message Dick. I am assuming the 2 fish in my pic are hybrid gill/green sunfish? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks again!

the dynamic of this site only works when people like you carry such a consistently positive attitude. I hope you spend as much time here as possible. And when you get to feeling better perhaps you can come this way.
