Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

My first bird dog, a Britt', would jump into the water and swim around with her head under water, snapping at the bluegills in the quarry ponds I fished then as a boy. My lastest, a Lab, fetches fish(steelhead). Their are a couple Golden Ret., here in N.E. Oh that are famous for fetching steelhead. An Orvis giuda outta Gates Mills has a Brittish Lab that goes fishing often, don't know if he fetches. steve b

i got a squirrel dog ,sure would like to have a fish dog though,that's cool.








gators eat dogs
There are 6-8 squirrels under my feeders in the backyard now, don't need a dog ! Kidding, no squirrel hintin' is close to a religion in some places. steve b
they shut the schools down here in Evangeline parish,Louisiana on opening weekend of squirrel season,it closes this Saturday.
i really would like a fish dog though ,all he would have to do is point.





that gator was good
There is an old episode of Lassie where she points trout for Timmy and another where she picks up Timmy's rod and pulls a trout out of the stream.
That Timmy needed all the help he could get, always falling down wells and such ! steve b
Had a black Lab named Buddy that loved to ride in the boat like he was a hood orniment,the faster the better,game warden wanted to check his fishing licence once,and if you were not paying attention he would play bobbing for bluegill out of the livewell .
i love dogs.






gators don't
I can't take my black lab serious fishing because he thinks that everything thrown (or cast) is for him and SPLASH! there he goes after it. So when we go to the pond together, it is vertical jigging only from the canoe. Then there's the challenge of not capsizing when I pull one up from the deep and he decides to go in after it. LOL we sure have some good times!
my yellow lab catches native trout out of stream that runs through our property and unlike me, she never gets skunked!
i have seen several hathery dogs fish and eat them whole, they must have one tough digestive tract, i also had a german shepard that loved diving to the bottom and retrieve rocks i had thrown in for her. i think labs are the best fisherdogs
