05-25-09 Tips and Tactics for Fighting and Landing Large Pickerel
Just because the Bluegill angler is going after Monster Gills doesn't mean that he or she may find themself fighting the trophy of a lifetime of another fish species (Bass, Catfish, Pike, Pickerel, etc). Since many Trophy Gills inhabit shallow, weedy lakes one may find a large or even trophy size pickerel on the end of their line as these hard fighting fish inhabit similar waters! Larger Pickerel often prefer baits of 3 inches +, subtle and more natural colors in bait selection tend to be the… Continue

Holy Smokes...I didn't see that you had sent me a message. Please forgive me, and I hope you are back in the saddle and catching fish! Hope you're feeling better!

Any chance I can convince you to come to the Forum next month? You would have a blast and meet some awesome dudes who could help you with your pond projects.
Anyhow, I sure can't wait until you DO get that piece of land...it's impossible to describe when you finally walk your land and know it's yours...amazing.
I will try to check out your pix ASAP - summer has me so busy trying to get my fish growing and working I will most likely not catch up with anything until Winter. Any chance you'll be looking for your place by then?
I sure am anxious to help you out...you let me know if you ever need any advice or guidance and I'm here for ya my bro.
