Set up a Bluegill Derby for the local Elementary School. Make it a Catch and Cook. That will thin out the ‘Gills and provide a Community Service. Win win.

Just a quick thought. I wear a pair of SPF 50 Flyfishing Pants. They are coated with Teflon so they don’t stain, dry quickly, and best of all are cooling and I guess they look enough like Waders that I’ve never been checked.

You went out in the High Heat Index and scored some Bass! Exactly what I intend to do tomorrow. One Caveat: My Buddy dropped his rod in the water when he flipped his Tube last trip and I marked the spot. So I’m going to “Stitch” a 10x10 foot area with an Egg sinker and Treble hook on straight 30 ...

Results of Rod Fishing…
Tons of Eelgrass in there. I kept loading up on it.

I’ve found that Perch don’t work so well for my crowd. Mackerel, Sardines/Anchovies, and Squid are my Top Baits for ShaRays.

This one was hooked on an AC Lure thrown with my Flipping Stick and a 6501c Ambassador Reel with 20 pound line. As it was ...
