Hey David, and welcome to Big Blue Gill. I hope you will find this to be a fun and informative site. We have a great bunch of members that are always willing to share information on catching our favorite fish, Big Gills. There are many areas here that cover a wide array of ways to persue not only gills, but other panfish as well. Make yourself at home, and take a good look around this great site. We hope to hear more from you soon, and again David, welcome to BBG.

What you personally may add my be that little extra something that we can put in our own little bag of tricks something we can use to make us better fisher people ourselves.

We are all about Bluegill, Big Bluegills ( Bluegills, Sunfishes, Red Ears, Brim family) but not to stop there you will read about many different species of fish even some you may not have known even existed in the Blue Gill world and forums with many picture to share, but our main goal is catching that ultimate giant Gill so we can meet that special goal and maybe some braggin rights along the way.
