Do you love big bluegill?
Gills out of Puddingstone
Hit up Puddingstone last weekend and had a great day in my tube slaying the gills. I had a 20+ day and there half were palm size or better. On ultralight tackle it was a blast and worth heading back to soon.

Nice fish, Jeff.
I want to try Puddingstone soon and I do not have a tube or boat.
Are the gills showing off the shore also?

Ya James I found all of the just off shore in about 2 to 5 ft of water from 8am to noon, an hitting just about anything you but in the water. Location was Sailboat Cove

Okay.
If they are still hanging on the shallow water, I can have some chance from the shore fishing. Thanks for the good information.

never fished the pudd but heard the fishing for panfish is good. Not the largest fish but good fishing

Yes it can be good there, I always fish sil boat cove from my tube and have had some good days, I heard last summer that someone had a caught a 2 or 3 lb. black crappie out of the same area.
I did not see it but, I asume it is possible.
