Do you love big bluegill?
LP BG 3-21-19
Finally got out to fish! Been a while. Broke in my new rod (JDM Mebaru 7' 6") with this nice 1 1/4 pounder. Caught slow trolling on Sonny's 1/48 oz chub belly spinner and 2 lb Izorline xxx. I forgot just how hard these big fish fight, especially on this long sensitive rod, when you have 70 feet of line out!

Yeah John, it was 58-59 degrees, a little cold for our Southern California Bluegill to be active. Fishing was slow, we only got a couple of fish. But there was a cold front coming, plus a full moon. Fishing should really pick up in the next few weeks, if we ever get some sunshine for a few days.
