Wheeler help! Bluegill, shellcracker

[Scubaguy5]

Don't know anything about wheeler but have been catching lots of shell cracker the last week on Guntersville several big blue gill is starting to show up have found several males still cleaning off beds been catching most in 4 fow Saturday evening they had moved a little closer to the banks . Mostly catching them on the bottom if they don't hit it on the fall pick it up move it toward ya just a little at a time.

Thanks for that info slabprowler.So you don't use a bobber when fishing the beds? That may be my issue, I don't think my bait is getting down to the fish. It's been many years since I've targeted crackers and bluegill. I do remember how fun it is to get on a bed, catching one after another. There's not many fish better tasting than bluegill IMO.

Not looking to fill up the freezer, but I do hope to catch enough for a fish fry! My wife has never had whole fried bream before, gotta change that!
