2014 TROPHY BLUEGILL QUEST

[Slip Sinker]

My Master Angler quest for a 10 inch plus northern strain gill in Michigan continues in 2014...

thanks David for the compliment

I'm not out for a record, of course. Any day I haven't fallen in, or put a hook in my finger, well... That's a good day.
I'd take your JUST GOOD fish anytime.
PS Something I'm sensing here is just how elusive a truly record-class fish really is.

McScruff... i have a feeling this is going to be tougher than the pumpkinseed master angler. now im beginning to question my lake picks.

[Slip Sinker]

only decent gill of yesterdays outing... 1.5" short

[David, aka, "McScruff"]

If you don't, it won't be for lack of trying!

[Slip Sinker]

well... just looked at the forecast good stable weather here for the next week or so. gives me a decent shot at getting that fish!

[David, aka, "McScruff"]

Fat fish, Ken.

Now for the million dollar question: Location or bait?

[Slip Sinker]

20140909-just short of a nine in class gill vertically jigging in 15ft of water ice jig and gulp pink maggot.

thanks Led Head ...

just looked at your map on Havasu... great looking map and precision... i guess alot of maps need some serious updating. are these maps tied in with your gps?

thanx David...

i can also use these maps i create and then use them on my elite 4 for ice fishing.
