Got out last night for a few to see if the bite was on!
I got the fly rod and a small popper out, caught 9 in short order! Lost on small bass I guess it's time to get the grease hot.

Dang them are fun looking critters.

JohnP · April 29, 2019, 06:31:01 PM

Looks like fun, as kids we use to catch them by the bucket load.

Bluegills on flyrod poppers is just about one of my favorite types of fishing

Very nice!!
I'M JEALOUS! We are humping record flood stages down here.
Wouldnt be so bad if the sun would at least shine I could catch some fish in the flood water.

They are a blast to catch on the fly rod!
I have cleaned my share over the yrs, usually it was by the bucket full at a time.

Jim I sure hope things improve on your fishing grounds.
I bet your a basket case over it.

Love those gills on an ultralight and 4
pound or lighter test line.

Still trying to learn the fly rod thing

Looks like a fun time and the meal would be a bonus.

I buy the flip-flops from the dollar store for foam bluegill poppers:

nastygunz walking home from a fishing trip with one barefoot

nastygunz · May 01, 2019, 10:25:02 PM

I fish barefoot just like Huck finn, plus my claws I mean toenails dig in to the bottom for good gripping power

FinsnFur · May 02, 2019, 09:21:46 PM

ewwwww!

Reminds me of an old Country Western song "Cut Your Toenails Nelly There Ripping The Bed Sheets."

Those toenails saved my life once when I dove onto a water bed covered with silk sheets one night in Subic Bay in the Philippines

Ever been there Mr. JohnP ?

riverboss · May 04, 2019, 07:17:44 AM

I wish it would dry up enough to get the wife down the hill so she could catch some!
She loves to fish but doesn't look like the weather is going to ever let up.

Spent a little time in the Philippines, it was mainly used by my unit as a jumping off point for other exotic places. When there we were primarily in a seclusion mode waiting for further "instructions". Good beer San Miguel.
