7/6/08...more nice gills & pics

Here I am at the “factory” again. This time with good buddy Keith (Wirebender on FAOL). After tiring of catching 9 to 9 1/2" gills, I put a larger popper on the Sage 6wt searching for bass. First cast, tight against “the bush” yielded a pretty decent 11 incher…not as impressive as the 2 hander of a few weeks ago, but still nice. We DID land 4 or 5 “runts” of 7 to 7 1/2", but then, they can’t ALL be big!..

Come see me in Ohio folks. With a little advance notice, I can get you into “Bluegill Paradise”…aka “The Factory”!

Very nice gills indeed!
I’d only come if you’d come here for bass. Since I’m not a trout guy anymore…it’s the best trade I have.

Hi Mike,

Super nice gills!

Nam,
I would love to set that up, although my next trip to schedule will be a canoe building adventure in Minnesota.Tell you what…come over here for those gills & we’ll work on my trip west.
Mike
