Pickwick Gills.

[Alphahawk]

What do you do when you have had a slow summer fishing and you get on a pattern of bluegill but they are only at the 7-8 inch mark......you put up the 2# test...break out the Major Craft FineTail Banshee 6' 7" Area UL trout rod strung up with 1# test line and have a ball. Hit Pickwick today and found the Gills on a ledge. I had a Panfish jig head rigged with a Bison colored Trout Magnet and a size"BB" split shot..... had to keep it on the bottom or no fish. I would cast into 8 feet of water and very slowly retrieve to the edge of the ledge...which dropped to 27 feet.....then bam.....fish on every cast. They were all in the 7-8 inch range...very chunky hard fighting fish. I spent 5 hours spot locked in one location and boated around 150 Gills....and one very nice shell cracker....I did take about a 20 minute break for lunch and put the Bimini up for a little shade. It was a great day and I am going back tomorrow.....have a rod rigged up to drop shot the Trout Magnet in the 27 foot depth.....life is good!
