    I'm certainly gonna fish for some. I should have pretty good luck with them. One of the places I go is so full of huge bluegill that you can't put a hook in the water without catching one, completely crazy fishing sometimes. I just need to learn how to fish for them in the fall and winter. Growing up, I was always taught that when it was cold, the fish weren't biting. I think grandpa just didn't want to go out and freeze his butt off. Does sound like something he'd do though. LOL

    Default How to get the big ones?

    I have been fishing some on Tellico lake for crappie and bream. I am not having much luck with either. I dont know how to fish for them in the fall. I have caught a few but would like to know how to get in them good. Any tips on these? I have caught small bait stealing bream but no big ones. How do you locate the big fish? Bait? As far as crappie I have never fished for them at all. I could use some help. Thank you.

    I have caught pound plus bluegills a couple times while fishing on the bottom for shellcrackers with red wigglers. the average depth was 12-13 feet with good water clarity and sandy bottom in most places. tie on a size 4 aberdeen crappie hook or better yet a size 6 and put a large split shot 3 feet up the line, if it's windy add a little more weight, put a couple rods out. deep flats droppoffs and submerged humps. I still havent mastered the suspended bluegill thing, there is one lake I fish where you can see alot of that on the depthfinder, and I can't do squat with them.

    In florida in fall and winter fish the mussel beds with a beatle spin whenever you get the chance. About two to three feet where those mussel beds are and the bluegill will sit in groups on them. Once you find a group you can usualy pull 7 off em. Then it goes dry but just move down a bit and you will find another group. Where i am not many fisherman know how to fish mussel beds or how to find them well. They usualy are in the areas where its a flat bottom near the shore no vegetation over them. They are in those "barren" areas people never glance at. Last week i did this and got 17 bream, 1 bass, and 2 crappie. Of the bream about 14 of them were keepers.
