John Sheehan's Christmas CD

I'm going to break one of my personal rules today.

Even though this really isn't about bluegill, I'd like to give a big "shout out" to John Sheehan's Christmas guitar instrumental CD. I've been listening to it for hours, and it's absolutely awesome.

I thought it would be appropriate on this forum to mention, because John is an avid member of www.bigbluegill.com , and this music is custom made for sitting in an ice fishing hut and catching big bluegill.… Continue

Richmond Mill--World class bluegill fishery.



Let me start by saying that I could make this blog post go on forever. I just came back from the best bluegill fishing of my life, so I'm a little fired up.

I'll try to keep it short.

Richmond Mill Lake is in North Carolina. It's a private, managed fishery that world-renowned pond and lake manager Bob… Continue

Hay Bruce, got a question for ya. Whats the easiest way to tell between a male and female gill? Whats really got me confused is all the crappie, perch, bass, northern, walleye I've been catching have their spawn in them right now. But not the gills. Color and ear length are what I've been paying attn. to but the spawn thing is got me thinking. Jody from WI
