Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Hi everyone that shares the same passion I do about fishing for Bluegill. I am new to the site and I'd just like to say, Bluegills, Bream, Sunfish ROCK!  I am looking forward to posting some catches from my local lakes: Perris Lake and Diamond Valley Lake.

Hello and Welcome! am also new here. I also fish Lake Perris live pretty close by. Ive only been reading stuff on this site maybe for a month now and there is a lot of good info.
Thanks for the welcome Anthony, looking forward to crossing paths.
You got a face photo? might be kinda hard to cross paths if all I got to go by is your hand and wrist watch :) but I could try might be awkward for a lot of people though just kidding.
I will post some pics in my pics section as soon as work and life slows a little.  I am still learning how to use this website. See you at Perris!

Not another gill chaser from Riverside... Welcome.

 

 

 

 

 

Yes and thank you! I can't live as a closet gill chaser any longer :o)

Welcome to the group, John!

Hi Bruce, 

Great website!  Thanks for allowing me to participate.

WEecome, Desert Giller.
Welcome John from an ex-patriot Californian. Glad you are here. Maybe one day soon I'll get back home and get up with all you guys from Riverside County.

I'd add the same - born and raised in Oxnard California. And like Steve, I'm thinking about going out to see my brother....
