Rainy Bluegill

Here's a few of the 14 bluegill I caught yesterday in the misty rain. I was lookin for some crappie, and stumbled into some nice gills suspended at 8', over 36 fow. They were flat up against a 30', nearly vertical bluff.

Casting accuracy was the key, as they were not moving an inch to take the bait. Had to bump em in the nose with either a Gulp minner, or a black and pink Slab Slayer on a 1/16 plain head, slung under a slip bobber.

Thanks for lookin.

Nice, we have a Full Moon now, but I doubt there are any spawning fish up on the beds as the water temps earlier in the week were over 90 degrees. Last time I caught some Gills they were over deep water also, thanks for report.

Very nice catch! Congrats

Nice accident!

some nice fish you got there. Thanks for sharing with us and telling where you found them.

Very nice

Very nice..... Paying attention to what you've got goin on is a very good thing to do to catch'um.....

Went back to the same spot this mornin, same time, same baits, no fish ! The pressure had come up, the sun came out, and the wind picked up. Back at it tonight with the full moon …..

Very pretty fish, and I bet they were fun. I’m beginning to believe that they are as finicky as crappie at times.

Pretty fish. Putting a pattern on bluegill in the summer time can many times be far tougher than putting a pattern on other fish.

I tend to agree with you. They can be tough to find when it gets hot.

yes sir they are driving us flat nuts over here suspended like crappie on bridges and brush as well .
the dang lil nippers will ruin a crappie plastic every time I swear and take the tail right off a nice plastic with a resounding thump .
glad you figured out how to make em stop that rascally rabbit thing
congrats brother

I enjoy a good bluegill report. Good Job! :ThumbsUp
