Fall Gill spot at Pickwick.

The Gills are moving into my spot at Pickwick right on schedule. I have been catching them in the same spot for the last 4 years from 1st October up to and into December. They stack up at this spot and many times I will get a 100 a day there. I release them all though. Got one decent shell cracker today along with 67 Gills all of them at the 8 inch mark or a little over. They were caught using a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a Phenix Elixir Trout Rod using 2# test line. The fish were caught out of 15 feet of water off a rock bottom.

Thanks guys. I'll pick a day and bring home about 60 and then it will just be catch and release probably until spring.

nice gills:ThumbsUp

Used to catch lots of those off the rocks along the hwy at the dam. Throwing small spin jigs. But these days I fish the small cuts about 1.4 miles above the dam. Those hold shell crackers but there out about 5 ft deeper then the rest.

Man that looks great!

Nice for sure!

Dandy bluegill! A good bluegill/shellcracker bed is some of the most fun fishing you can have. Hope I never get tired of it. Going to have to give that Bison color a try.

Nice

Thanks guys...these Gills have moved onto that spot for the past 3 years and stayed there mid September through November....but not this year. They have been hit and miss. Maybe anyday they will move in there and stay.


Regards

Nice gills! Nothing more fun than a good spot with nice fish like that ... Enjoy!
