Last night I caught a couple of medium sized bluegill, I think. They had a rose colored blush on the bottom side. I haven't seen a rose colored blush before. Is this still a bluegill? The spines did not seem as pronounced either. ( I always use a fuzzy glove when I have to handle fish.) Also caught a 13' LBM. All on a yellow gertside gurgler because the algae was overgrowing the pond. I had to fish to the splash, to catch anything, was not able to pull anything out of lethargy because of the weeds. ( Float tubes are forbidden and I don't have one anyway. ) Any one have good suggestions as to how to fish from shore, and catch fish in very green, very algae'd, water?
