Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on February 5, 2012 at 5:27pm: Hey Dick thanks and that cooler was full but only those little ones would fit on the top of the lid.

Comment by dick tabbert on February 5, 2012 at 5:20pm: Nice mess of gills, great job and continued GOOD FISHIN..

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on February 5, 2012 at 5:17pm: THANKS TROY and what does IMO mean?

Comment by Troy Dorman on February 5, 2012 at 3:14pm: Yeah, I've fished and camped out down there many times. I used to think it was the best lake in Indiana for panfishing because it was, but it's getting a lot of pressure. The fishing has suffered IMO, we're not catching the big 10-12inch redears anymore and they were quite common just five years ago. The bluegill/redear have really taken a hit IMO.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on February 4, 2012 at 1:06pm: HEY TROY,

YOU EVER HEARD OF A LAKE IN SOUTHERN INDIANA CALLED DOGWOOD? It seems they get some nice gills there and not to far from were I currently fish in S. Illinois.

TOOTY

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on February 3, 2012 at 9:30am: HEY TROY,
No I got these a few years ago and do fish sometimes in Southern Illinois. These were caught at a Lake called East Fork which is the city water lake for Olney Ill. I actually live in Northcentral Illinois.

THANKS TOOTY

Comment by Troy Dorman on February 2, 2012 at 10:14pm: You're in Southern Illinois? I'm in Southern Indiana, did you catch these this week? We're having 65 degree weather here in S. Ind. I might have to get out if this is the case. Nice looking mess.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on February 2, 2012 at 7:57pm: I CATCH MOST OF MY FISH on my own designs. The gills redears and crappies were all caught on my bugs and the go to bug that I use first is the Purple Bead Head. My son caught a nice cat on one fishing a sea wall on a lake in Southern Illinois and it went over 15 pounds . what a battle that was on a Ultra Light!!!

Any time you want to come for a fish fry let me know!!!!!! You are more than welcome here.
