Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Hi there guys I hope all is well and spring fishing has begun for most of you. Being up in the pacific northwest I still have a while till the bluegill start spawning. 

A few months ago i had all my fishing gear stolen out of my car. Ive recently started stocking up again and am slowly building it. Last year i bought some custom jigs from a member on here and really really enjoyed them.

So If you guys make or know anyone on here who makes nice jigs for bluegill and crappie I would love to get my hands on some. Im not trying to see whos is better or anything like that. If you would prefer you can Personal message me anytime.

Thanks everyone and tight lines!

Brandon, I sent you a message, but you have to approve it first, it's a friend request.  Drop me a line, I can help.

thank you! i did approve it i thought 

Hey Brandon, I tie jigs and am from the PNW as well, happy to help if you cannot find another person to do it. Or if you would like to meet up and fish depending on where you live hit me up. I'm in Portland, OR. You don't have to do too much waiting either. I got to fish last week and I was mainly just testing out some of my new jig patterns and had lots of bluegill interested. They're definitely more active than they have been.

Hi Nathan thank you for the response? Oh really? That's great to hear! I'm all the way up in Bellingham, Wa so the waters pretty cold. But I'm gonna try to get out soon and see what I can do. Defiantly interested in any jigs you make. Maybe you could send me a message and well talk more.

Will do!

I've been aiming to get some myself, need to get ahold of some of you gents to help stock my new box.

Had a local fellow gave me some fly's he tied, its like look'n at art, just love stuff like that.
