First attempt at Gill fishing at night.

Diddnt load the boat but caught 15-20 between 11-12". All released. They love a glow in the dark poppin bug.............http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/02/6yze6eme.jpg

Now that's a bull!

nice gill

That is great.

Nice Gill SYG. Were you using a fly rod, or a casting bubble?

I was using a bream buster

Pretty cool - and a very nice fish. I didn't even know they were very active at night. Around here they don't seem to wake up until 9:00AM. Maybe they just been up partying all night and are slow to get going in the morning.

Nice fish!

What a neat catch. I and my son got on to some scattered big females on shallows (4-5') up till 9:00 pm and it was dark by then. That was on a south Iowa public city Lake.
I sure appreciate your post as I would have bet against success chasing any size bluegill in the deep night hours. Did you stay out long?? Thanks again

I actually had to be at work at 12 so I only fished from about 9-11pm. I am off tonight and plan on taking a buddy and fish a little later. When they hit it in the pitch black dark, it sounds like a cannon going off. It was really fun, I'm ready to go back tonight. I will post another report tomorrow.
