tjhunt2 Report post Posted January 18, 2011 I'll keep it short. Picked Dad up at 7am and was on the water around 8:30. Fishing was slow until we switched to worms and Dad catches a bluegill at 10am. Now Dad is a lover of bluegills and I love to eat them as well so we targeted the bluegills and called it a day by 1pm. We had boated over 90 in 3 hrs and only brought home what we could filet. The count was 72 at home and after 1&1/2 hrs we were ready for a fish fry. We called over some friends and had a feast fitting for king. Here's a few pics. One of Dad's smaller ones Dad with a filet My mess in the kitchen sink. How many wifes would allow this in your house? A bowl of bite size fish Ready for the grease. 144 pieces Peg doing the cooking The near end of a good meal and a good day fishing with Dad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deercrazy Report post Posted January 19, 2011 Blue gill and crappie are some of the best eating fish! +1 on the Keystone Light... May make good beer batter, but tough to drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
