Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

  As all of you know by reading my Christmas Poems  I thought the 2009 poem was the best, I usually save my poaching for Christmas Eve. You know big fat fresh bluegill will get all that Christmas taste right out of your mouth and they dont get any better than North Carolina  Bluegill from a particular spot , so double the guard at the backgate I'll be crossing into North Carolina thursday  morning , You have been warned. I  have to be  in NC  on family business so I decided What the Heck , if the fishing is that good on Christmas Eve  its got to be great in the spring.   LOFR

I hear the gills of NC have razor like teeth.....you may need steel leader material.....and crickets.

From my Christmas Eve experiences I remember they are just like regular bluegill ,just bigger, they must feed them like hogs at that place, and as for crickets , "Have cricket tube ,will travel" .  LOFR

Here in North Carolina  now, will do some recon, plot my plan of action, make sure gillie suit is ready , g3 night vision has fresh batteries, cricket tube filled. Just found out North Carolina dosent have a limit on bluegill , like that really matters when your poaching.    LOFR

  Well, guys I am stuffed, those 3 lb bluegill fileted out so big that you could only get two of them in the skillet at one time, and the flesh cooked up so delicate  that it was flaking so beautiful,and the flavor was so succulant, those guy at Richmond Mill's have got it going on. I will have to say those cultured bluegill impressed me over wild caught fish with their size and flavor.I would have taken some pic but I thought that might give away my position near the back gate. They hit the crickets real hard , I guess they were  ready for something other than fish food.  So I will have to give Richmond Mills two thumbs up, it was fun and I caught a lot of fish.       LOFR

I wanna go to the Mill Pond,     ,whhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyy!!!

I could send you a map of an unofficial  self guided tour at the back gate, Vic ,I know you would have lots of fun.   LOFR

Ive got 20 bucks thats about the most I have ever paid to fish..I could go a little higher...$600..I could buy a boat down here
