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.

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.
