Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Of the four fish I caught, this was the only keeper, about 8" long. It took my buddy and I awhile to realize the fish wanted waxies on a deadstick rod.

We saw a few Jumbos come through on the camera, one Walleye, and my buddy said he saw a Musky following some of the Jumbos.

Thanks gents.  Slip, no ATV.  We walked out.  First stop was about 1/4 mile out, roughly 8 FOW, 9 1/2" of ice.  Noticeable current pushing things to the south-west.  Second stop was about 1/2 mile out.  Wind was at out back walking out, then switched to out of the south, so when we walked back, it was still at our back.  Good thing, as I left my balaclava in my truck, along with my ice cleats.  I really could have used my ice cleats, as that ice was slick!  I'm definitely feeling it today.  Walking out was more of a sliding shuffle than a walk for me.


I'm thinking about heading out today, to a nearby lake that gets stocked with Trout.
