Low Water For Today’s Fishing Trip..2/28/2026
Never the best conditions when the water is dropping a half of foot overnight, throw in muddy, cold…
Do you love big bluegill?
My agony continues...
So I got a call today from one of my clients...He fished his pond for a couple hours yesterday morning, caught eight largemouth, one of which weighed 1.5 pounds and the rest of which went between three and four pounds each (he's already caught two bass this year just under six pounds each, and several five-pounders)...He also caught five bluegill, while fishing for bass with a plastic worm. The biggest one weighed between one and a half and one and three-quarters pounds on his digital fishing scale.
This guy always, always takes photos of his big fish. And, he said he tried to photograph this bluegill - but he said that every now and then the camera feature on his phone locks up for whatever reason, and it decided to do so today, and he didn't want to keep the fish out of the water so he let it go.
There are no hybrid bluegill in the pond so it had to be a pure-strain northern bluegill. I suppose one of these days I'll actually get a photo of one of the bigger bluegill being caught from ponds I manage...
