Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I'm hanging my rods up until gill's spawning season. Not even bother with the trouts this year..after the fiasco yesterday:

Day started out, with me half asleep because our little girl decided to keep us up half of the night kicking us in our bed rather than sleeping in her own. Left for Lake Perris at 5:30am. Got there, ultra dark, and wait in a long long line of boaters. 6am, unloaded the inflatable pontoon, with every part of my body screaming "IT'S FREAKING COLD!" Fingers were frozen even with high dexterity sport gloves on at 35°F. Yeah..I see some ice along them hills.

In the water by 6:25am, loaded up the rods, dipping the first line with homemade corns to entice possible holdover trouts. Pull out the new Blue Fox gold rattler with frozen fingers..*OPPS!* dropped one into the water. That's okay..pulled out another blue one..*OPPS!* in the water..ARGG! Pulled out the third one, while keeping the line over the rear platform..successfully put on the line. Cast time! Water temp, 49°F. Dang. Fishes are not chewing. Out of 15 bass boat chaser, only 1 manage to land a 6lbs, while others, 1 to 2lbs. No panfish, no cats, no carps. Way too slow.

Wife called, at 10am, and need to be somewhere for a family outing at 1pm. There goes the day of fun on the water. Pack up at 11am, put rods on top of minivan, load up the heavy equipment, and head home..errr..rods..Drove for 2 miles, forgot the rods on the top. Heavy side wind knocked the rods over. *CRAP!* I saw all my still new rods flew off. Stopped the car, ran to the rods, and a few cars already drove over the rods. Drove home, with a mindset stating, "Oh well..fishing season is official over."

Worst fishing day ever.

LOL. My brain was half gone since my little girl kept me up half of the night..

Leo...I hope she sleeps soon. When my son was born, he did not sleep through the night for two years. Now, his daughter sleeps 10 hours, straight through the night, and did so when she was 3 weeks old! Elena is 19 months old!

My little girl is 2 years old. She sleeps well if we tired her out with activities. But, she likes to crawl into our bed, sleep sideway on top of us both, and I get the legs end, where I'm her stomping ground during her dreams. No matter how many times I toss her back to her bed, she comes back. If I sleep in her bed, her mom will come over and drag me back to our bed..so..the night continues like that. Three kids..and 10 years of the same thing..

Leo you can go with me anytime.

Thanks Dick, and would love to. But you may have to wear some weird looking helmet, because I want to suck years of knowledge out of you and plant it into my brain. LOL

Yea and on top of that I think you have some new equipment you have to replace from your last fishing  episode.
