Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Well, it was a pretty hard winter in Ohio on the shore of Lake Erie. So far I have counted 35 9 inch bluegills that I planted in my garden due to freeze kill. There is probably twice that number as the crawdads eat them up when they sink. One thing that caused it was my areator shut down from a power outage and didn't restart. Alas, but I was in Chicago working and when I came home the pond was a solid chunk of ice. Sooo, I get to start over again. I intend to dredge the pond this summer to get more depth. Perhaps this will help. If not I will contact Al Gore and ask him for advice!

I live in Bula county Ohio, waaayyy up to the N.E.. Wouldn't be safe for Al Gore around here ! Lots of below zero weather, and snow fall totals rivaling some historically BAD winters ! I remember lots of fish kills in smaller ponds and lakes during mid to late 70's here. steve b
