I have looked all over Southern Il for a certain hook. I am looking for long shank, 16 and above hooks. I need long fine wire hooks, any help?

hello,

i was thinking about possibly getting into kayak fishing as an extra technique and was wondering if there are any bluegill fisherman on this site using that technique. i'm in south carolina and there seems to be some prime areas just waiting for a kayak to sneak up on the shallows for monster bluegill and shellcracker. lake moultrie is near me and there are areas on it that i would love to use a kayak.  i'd like to hear from anyone using a kayak to fish from and i would…

Hi everybody. I'm new to this site. Mike was the one who told me about it. I fish both fresh and saltwater but concentrate of freshwater mostly.

I also enjoy using the Ajusta Bubble with a fly whenever I'm just going for sunfish. The biggest bluegill I have ever caught was 10 inches long weighing 13 ounces. Caught it with a Rebel Teeny Wee…

Alan Warren, Big Bluegill, Richmond Mill video

would love to hear from others in the south carolina areas as well as across the country who love to fish fro bream. to me the ultimate…

I have an intereset in homemade baits and old time fishing methods. One of my favorite baits is hot dogs, I season up. I was wondering if anyone has any homemade bait or cheap bait they use? Also, as a kid I remember a guy calling up fish with a tuning fork. Would love to hear more ideas like this.

Thanks

Hello friends!
