Welcome to the site!!

Welcome to Big Bluegill!!
Hope you enjoy this great site.

I mostly fish Hardy because I'm only a couple of miles away. Fish patoka some to. Other places I fish are mostly farm ponds around my area. The last couple of years Hardy has been good for redears. Been catching some warmouths also but they have been on the small side. Crappie have been coming on also. The striper and wipers they stocked a few years ago are starting to get some size to them also. Hardy is becoming a pretty good little fishing lake. Hope it stays that way.

The last couple of years fishing Patoka at least for me, has not been very good. We catch crappie but most have been 6 to 8 inches long. I would think this year or next should really turn on. Want to try Hovey lake this year. Heard a lot of good things about it.

Hi Ken, for bottom fishing have you ever tried a porcupine quill?

LOL...yes I agree...I dig worms, bait my hook, take the fish off, clean, filet (when we keep em) and fry up the fish....so by your standards I am a true FISHERWOMAN....LOL...oh and I also raise the kids and keep em quiet when they come along...thanks for noticing
