Fall Bluegills

[NYHellbender]

My son and I went pond fishing for some fall bluegills. Air temps where around 60F, the wind was around 10mph and cloudy.
We had our poles rigged up with weighted bobbers and half of a redworm. We tipped the redworm off with a crappie nibble, just to add a little color. We caught 40+ but only kept 35 nice fat ones. Most were around 8 to 9 inches. These gills hit the hook like a freight train. Plus I love the color change in fall fish. We ended up with ton of bluegill fillets. We fried them up the other night. I used corn meal and ground flax seed, seasoned with Aunt Jane's Crazy Salt and Some Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. Yum Yum

Hey, looks like you got right into them. Bet your Son loved that...

We both had a good time. I know there are crappie in that pond, but the last few trips we couldn't find them.
The farmer says he stocked the pond with 300 channel cats too. That should be fun in the spring.
I tried catching some about a month ago on some cut bait I had left out in the yard in a jar.
We only had one taker, and didn't even hook up.
