Bedding Bluegills

Here are some fish we caught on the beds with crickets. These fish were very aggressive, to the point they were even hitting our corks.

Here is a baby owl my Brother and Niece found up by the road. I believe it may be a barn owl. The owl was taken down to the creek about a 100 yds from the road and released.

Sweet pics where did you catch them gills? I'll be heading down to
barkley tomorrow hope to find some like that!!!

Good bunch of big bluegill Huck, when they get good and dark like that they are aggressive and mean. Need to stick with water and granola bars for the net man, hes got the crazy eyes. Thats pretty owl, good sized for a young one too, man those talons look like they could do serious damage already. Glad your brother spared him from being roadkill. Cool pics.

Good looking bunch of gills!!!

We caught these fish in a small 150 acre lake. I have been wanting to fish Ky Lake for some big redear, but the high water and strong winds have not been favorable when I have been off work. A friend of mine at work went this past week to Ky Lake and caught a bunch of bluegill, catfish, bass, and redear in 10-12 ft of water on plastic bluegill lures tipped with minnows.

Great lookin bunch of gills--nothing better eatin

Huck .....you doing it man !!!!

Fine bunch of gills....it don't get any better than that!

Did The Misqutoes Hit As Hard As The Gils?

I've "heard" that, if you have a Thermacell or two, the Mosquito's aren't as big a problem. Walmart.com: Thermacell Portable Mosquito Repellent Appliance, OD Green MRG: Hunting

They're a bit pricey, especially the refills, but seem to get more positive reviews, all the same.

I've not purchased one, nor used one, so I can't give a personal account. The "skeeters" don't seem to like me :p ... so I've never had a problem with them while fishing at night. But, maybe some of the other members can chime in about them.

... cp :cool:

CP,
I have been using the ThermaCell on the boat and for the most part it works. The biggest problem is the wind. In the woods it works better but on the lake the wind blows a little more in one direction. Been trying to keep the ThermaCell upwind and that works. One of my biggest problems is I wear shorts and the biting flies have been wearing the back of my legs out. Hoping the ThermaCell can help out there. Deet gives me a headache as soon as I put it on so hoping to find something that works.

I havent had real bad trouble with the mosquitos yet, gonna find out tonight if theyre out in full force on Cave Run. I spray on a little backwoods OFF and they dont' bother me too bad at night(knock on wood.....). I have heard the thermacells are the kittys butt, lil'John has one if i remember right.
