So where did you get your 6" BG and what does a fish that size cost?

I am sure they would be more up here anyway.

I just learned of this website. I love to fish for big gills, especially, through the ice. Sometimes we catch two at a time. I fish an 18 acre church camp lake. Stay in one of their heated/air conditioned cabins for $10 a night. Hunting deer right now.

thanks Rick my pond is about 80 years old , its still 18 ft deep , I bought this property about 4 years ago we where in a drought then and the pond still had about 8 ft of water in it .
the pond no oxgen and the only thing in it was bull heads well not knowing better I beguin to aerate and stock with 400 blue gill and 100 channel , I am loaded with blue gill and channel cats now I did introduce a have dozen bass this year .
I have fond out how much fun and work a pond is , the second year duck weed took over and it has taken us the 4 years to get it some what back to where its should be . aeration has been the best tool yet. I have taken out over 3000. yes 3000.
bullheads by trapping and catching them .

Thanks for the welcome. I've just started back into panfishing since my kids are getting of an age to go fishing. The ice fishing is starting here in Wisconsin, but I know how Texans feel about ice fishing. I had been after trout for many years but with the Mississippi River about a block from our house I've started retooling my tackle. I've fished this water my whole life. Thanks again, Texans.

Thanks for the welcome. Rick, do you know any fishman who can supply thousand LB of blue gill and crappies in a week?

Mike Burro

Many thanks. Was out today for the first time since December 5th. Got skunked, but did have a small bass in tow until he wiggled off my tiny panfish targeted wide mouth hooks. Still, I'm landing a few in December, and to today it was down to 38. The Gills are in there, but their metabolisms are so slow, it's touch to get a strike. If you do, you gotta be faster than I was today when setting the hook...

Thanks Rick for the welcome. I live in St Cloud Florida. I can fish both lake Tohos and fish all 5 lakes on the alligator chain and there are more lakes with in 15 miles. I sometimes can't make up my mind which lakes I want to fish. I usually fish for crappie dabbling around the kissimmee grass and pick up nice copper nose bluegills. I got a nice 5 lb bass in one of the lakes on the alligator chain. I fish mostly with jigs and beetle spin baits. Green is the best color for gills here. I caught a 9 lb bass on a popeye and 6 lb line a few years ago. 9 in copper nose are common here. Just can't find them real often. Thats why I joined this forum, to pick up pointers. Thanks again for the welcome. Jim

sorry it took me over a year to get back to you. I have a 3/4 acre pond which the grandkids fish and through the fish back. My pond has Bluegills, Sunfish, Bass and catfish. There is also a few crappies a few perch and a couple walleye. Last year I put in 12 hybred strippers, i wanted to see what they would do. I buy 6 gallons of fathead minnows a year to feed the fish. I also have 8 white amers to control the vegatation and they do a great job. I have been trying to get some info on coppernose bluegills wondering if they would make it through our winters. Thanks for your interest. Keep in touch.

Are those oversized fish breaking your line?

10.5" RES Sharon

That's why I got a trotline and I'm removing all the catfish from my pond. The bass don't ever bite, I must not have the right technic for bass. Would like to see one, and see how big it's grown.

Mar 30, 2011
10.5" RES Sharon

If the pond is full of minnows, why would they bite the one on the hook? Are there no minnows in the middle of the pond? Is that where the bass stay? I know nothing about bass
