HOT HOT HOT

[Vic Tankersley]

Couldn't stand it any longer, Put my Swamp People cover on my jon boat and launched it in the watershed yesterday after church. Wind was a little rough and the cover top acted like a sail on the Black Pearl, but we went into the old favorite shallow water hole and anchored down. Nothing!!!!..only caught a couple of stragglers so we had to revert to the hunt and seek method of fishing and went down the shaded side of the lake. With our floats at 3 feet deep and lively crickets we finally found a  small outcrop of bush in deeper water holding some nice Bull gills and before dark made us leave we had taken a good 75 Bluegill out from around that one single bush..I guess it is a where you find them in the hotter days of the summer. Did not think about a pic when we got home. But will next time..I begining to love bluegill and shellcracker fishing more and more with every time I go out after them. I am an crappie fisherman from way back and bluegill fishing is a second love but is becoming an obsession.
