Steelcat Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Thanks for the report. Nice photo~~~ The last one makes me really really hungry~!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Looks like you had a nice dinner!. Though you don't get much meat off those guys. I've never seen Bluegills that colour - they seem a reddish colour (unless its just the lighting) Nice catch all the same. Thanks for sharing. 007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmaster Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 They are more purpleish then red ..and big blue gills have lots of back meat ..and very tastey alote like perch if not better .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondorfish Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Looks like you had a nice evening out there Steve - might give it a try on the weekend - what else might one expect to catch in the lower river ( in season ) ? Don Looks like lake ontario might be a wash this weekend ( winds ) so I am looking for another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerie Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Nice fish, nice pics , good report . I think i might have to try for crappie's and bluegills one of these days looks like they can be very productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Nice report and pics there Steve, right down to the fillets!!! Pan fishing with a light action rod and a float is one of my favourite ways to fish. Always takes me back to the simpler way of fishing when I was younger. Not to mention the great eating! I wish there were more panfishing reports. Thanks for yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
