Makes sense…..I like fish out of colder water but never “hard” in these woods….

Favorites for me are taken through the Ice, Jeff!

Understand John……I’m just waiting for cooler weather and we’ll taste some fresh fish…..

I don’t enjoy cleaning fish in triple digit heat index……..I told my coanglers we would be back soon to ice some dinner.

There's a Catch and Release Policy I honor at this Community Lake Jeff. I need to get on them at a local cleaner State Park Lake. I'd like to keep some 7-8".

Thanks John…….I actually search out 5 to 7 inch bluegills to eat…….we went today and these larger gills were hard to come by in our hot water…….caught plenty smaller gills today on wood……

Great Fish Jeff! The best I get at my bank spot at my Local Lake are 6-7.5" Bluegills these Days . I keep in touch with them with the Ultra Lite often though .
