a few from the recent full moon...

Got out earlier in the week around the full moon, and found a few beds holding some nice bream. I released around 20-30 and kept some big males for supper. I fished wigglers on a 1/32 oz jig head, and also "root beer float" color Trout Magnet, tipped with a piece of wiggler. Used my new Abu Garcia Slow Taper Special rod with 1000S MGX Theta reel, spooled with 5 lb test Twitch Master to get them out from the trees.

Not this time... the last shellcracker I weighed was 1.6 lbs during the May new moon, and I didn't catch any that big this time.

Those are some beast

Beautiful native bluegill !!

Don’t have wonder why they are called bluegill when you look at those. :)

Great trip and thanks for the ride along! Yes, those are some very nice BGs. Good colors too.

Those are some great fish! Betting dinner was also good. I haven’t kept enough of my pet bluegill for dinner in a while.

You can say that again. Today I made salt-and-pepper fried bream: fried bream nuggets seasoned with salt, pepper (white and black), cayenne, and a touch of 5-spice. Then stir fried with onions, bell pepper, fresh hot chiles, and fresh garlic. Served with white rice and cold beer. Just like Chinese take-out, only WAY better - according to my daughter.

Beautiful fish…..the Slow Taper is a hoot to fish with.
