Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Went on down to the Edisto River today, my usual haunt and hangout. I havent been out there in awhile, and so I was interested in seeing what had changed.

As is normal with rivers of any size, something is ALWAYS different. Familiar brush piles had washed away, while new snags have cropped up else where. The water is always at work. But one thing never seems to change along the banks - this:

TRASH!

In several spots, I found the remains of former "fish camps." People sit along the banks fishing, often late into the night. They build fires, cook out and get liquored up while catfishing.  As far as Im concerned, that is part of the fun of fishing.

Sadly, they sometimes leave their junk behind, scattered around the banks. I did have a trash bag handy, and I filled both it and cardboard beer box with this sort of crap. It grates my stones to see this, but I know some people are just slobs. On the plus side - most are not.

Oh, by the way... I didnt even get a nibble from the fish.

I reckon that, eventually, I'll get it cleaned up to my liking. In the meantime, I'll carry a camera....
