Laurel Hill Trip.

Made my annual trip to Laurel Hill Lake this past Friday. While the quality was a little shy of what I had hoped for the numbers more than made up for it….150 bluegill in 5 hours of fishing….beds all over the place. Most were 7.5-8 inches…bull northern strain bluegill. The lure was a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a Daiwa Gekkabijinn 1.5 gram jig head with a #10 hook. Used the 6’ 2” Diplomat Extreme UL Area Trout rod spooled up with 1.8# test ester mono line….also used an 5’ 9” XUL Major Craft Fine Tail Banshee Area Trout Rod, and at times the Daiwa Iprimi 5’ 6” XXUL Area Trout Rod. While I would have loved to have been on Laurel Hill in May I just could not bring myself to pull off the shell cracker at Nickajack. Most of the beds were about 6 feet deep. Life is good…and getting better!

Very nice looking lake and those are through the roof numbers on some beautiful fish.

Definitely a trip we’d all like to make. Thanks for the ride along.

Well worth the trip, Randy, and those gills and the venue you were in is worth seeing as well. Congrats on a successful trip!
