What's up Gentlemen, I'll have to try BlueBerry Lake one day. For about the last two weeks I've been fishing Lk Samammish and having a ball. We've pulled a lot of Slabs out of there. This weekend I'm heading down to Silver Lake and try my hand at some Bass fishing. I'll keep you guys posted and try and upload some pics.......
Good luck out on Silver Lake. If you have a hard time finding the bass, try fishing the main channel edges with a 3" Senko. That will get'em everytime.
I looked up lakes on the net that listed bluegills and Im going to try and fish them for crappie in hopes of finding some bluegills.I was gona fish for them the same way as I do crappie,will that work or is there a better way than jig and bobber fishin.
Ill be hitting cassidy tomorrow evening for catfish,its my first try for cats.I ordered these liver baits from basspro shops along with catfish scent formula.Ill let you know how I do.
well tomorrow is the big day,im gona hit blueberry lk. for my 1st time.I made it out to cassidy and caught 7 crappie in about 30 miniutes,it was amazing watching them surface right before dark,it was sort of like casting to rising trout.had no luck though on the catfish. chris,definately go with the 3" sinko,I like to douse it it craw scent.Ill have to try sammammish also.Im having a hard time trying to juggle my time between my girlfriend and fishing and work.....do you guys know of any hot spots for crawdads?
If you wanna fish for bluegills, use small pcs. of nightcrawler on a small hook with splitshot.Ill bottom fish these rigs.Find a likely spot , theyre easy to spot,and cast beyond the fish so as not to spook them.Let it rest to the bottom and then slowly start to reel it back accross the fish.They will fight for the right to take your bait.If you are in clear water you can see them.Bluegills are a curious fish by nature,and do not spook easily.If you get into a bunch of small ones ,then move on as they like to school by size.I use small pcs of worm because they will pick it clean otherwise.These fish are accomplished thieves,the small pcs. make them take the hook farther to get the bait. :cool:Quote:

Dont know your neck of the woods.I do know that they are stocked in just about every lake in the country as food source for bigger fish.You shouldnt have any problems finding gills.This time of year go on a new or full moon and they will be spawning in as little as 6 inches of water.The bigger ones tend to spawn a little deeper.Bluegills will spawn 4 or 5 times in a season,always following the moon patterns.Early in the morning or late in the evening before dusk are the best times.Good luck!Eric.Quote:

Sounds like you did good on the gills.I live in south carolina , so I dont know anything about the areas your'e naming , but I know bluegills and they are fuf fun fun to catch and eat.The ponds here in sc routinely put out gills in the 1 1/2 lb. to 2lb. range.Ive personally got a 3 1/2 lb. that my father caught and mounted when I was a wee lad on my wall at home.Youve got to come south sometime and try the fishing.Look on the crappie killer's website at the big fish category and he has a 5lb. plus bluegill on there that is mounted , its the freakiest thing you'll ever see.This fish is huge no matter where you are in the country. Eric. :cool:
Big "E",I couldnt find crappie killers website,I wanted to check out those pics.I landed some more gills today but again they were only little midgets,2-4 inches.they were fun though..
