Do you love big bluegill?
Hello, my name is Harry A. Lamey in Biloxi, Ms. and would like to join the Fl Panhandle Bream Busters. We are not that far away from each other and looks like we share the same type of fishing. I fish for bluegill only with a fly rod and am a avid…Continue

Hunted and hunted today but did not find a single gil 20 miles off shore from Destin. But we did find red and vermillion shapper, red grouper, triggers, and ruby lips (considered bait fish).
A glitch came up this evening that may require a night trip Friday to PineLog to be postponed a day or two. Hope I can work it out. Really want to try this night full moon thing.
Don't have a leech fly like that but do have a botton of black Berkley leeches like these. http://www.berkley-fishing.com/products/soft-bait/gulp/leech-gulp
They are one inch long. Mabe just a 6 or 8 hook in wide end would work.
Greg, thanks for the tip. I have never done this before so don't know a thing about it. I had better check with my friend a little more to see what time of night he goes. I do have some black poppers and dark blue.
J.B., Full moon fishing can be great, but you might want to take an afternoon nap!!! The fishing usually starts closer to midnight!!!!! Yes if you wern't so far away I would go with you!!!! Big Black flies, poppers fished at or below the surface can be EXPLOSIVE!!!! About 1400 miles west of you I will be doing the same thing!!!!!
But don't let Bruce know. He thinks NIGHT FLY FISHING is CRAZY!!!
I'm looking at the possibility of some night fly fishing this Thursday or Friday down at Pine Log near Ebro. Full moon time so if the sky is clear I'm sure tempted. Have been hearing about this technique down there for years. A friend has done this at Pine Log and claims to have had good luck on the full moon. One thing that is nice is you don't have to worry about the back cast, it's all open water.
Anyone here interested in meeting up to give this a shot?
I plan to get down there around 5 or 6 pm and fish a little before dark and up to may 10PM or so, depending on the bite.
