THE HUNT FOR ALABAMA BLUEGILL day #1

     The official hunt for Bluegill here in Birmingham, AL starts in the morning. I will be getting up and going and trying a local pond that is a few blocks from my house.  I am going to be bank fishing for the rest of the summer most likely but I am currently looking to purchase a kayak that way I can go almost anywhere.

     This is the pond that I am going to fish in the morning before work.  I have already walked around it and see that there is bluegill and catfish in it.  The set up that I will be using is my Zebco 33 micro on a Zebco ultra light rod with Suffix Pro Mix clear 6 lb line.  I will be putting a #8 snell hook with red worms since that is what I have on hand because that is all my wife will put on a hook at this time. I will add to this post later tomorrow evening with the outcome of the morning, hopefully with a few pictures of some fish.

     Well I do not have any pictures of any fish since I stuck out at this pond.  I had a few nibbles and scene a few catfish but was not able to catch anything today.
