Wingsdlc,

Yes, you better get out there and start bluegill fishing. This is not the frozen North! The small lake I caught those in had a water temperature of about 52 degrees. I went there again today but the wind got up to about 15mph and this small lake has no wind protection. I did manage to catch about 3-4 smaller gills and one small bass before I decided I was tired of fighting the wind. Maybe tomorrow if the wind lets up. I did observe one other guy there fishing for crappie and he was doing pretty good.
