Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

here is my first of many hopefully this year!
With the warmer weather comes some good fishin' I met Casey on the lake , he already had a bunch of fish when I got out there and Jack went out too in caseys canoe
The crappies were on the bite, I had good action on the "float and fly" rig, a small float one foot above a 1/80th hair jig. I sweetened it with a couple of red spikes to tempt the occasional big sunfish that would also be in the shallow dark bottomed bays looking for bugs. I caught more fish than I could count. nice crappies and bluegills
Lots of pictures here:

Nice! I've been out twice in my tube so far, fishing has been still slow for me. Water temps have not yet hit 50.
the bite should be picking up with the warm weather!
Alex, are you fishing with neoprene waders or are you risking hypothermia?
I dont use neoprene waders even in ice water, they are just to hard for me to get on!
I use regular uninsulated waders and put layers on underneath depending on the water temp, works great for me, though in the "cat" style tubes the water is only up to below the knees

"I made these up for crappie in mind. They might be a little big for gills unless it a bigger gill."
