If I ever find myself on death row, and I've expired all of my appeals.... I would request this meal as my last supper!

Thanks FH.......It has also changed the way I fish....with the exception of the pre-ice period, spoon fishing makes up for 97% of my tactical approach. http://www.bigbluegill.com/profiles/blogs/deep-water-spoon-presentation

Hate Gobies!!! Ever scuba dive or snorkel your fishing area? In the St. Lawrence - they can be so thick its very sad! Hope you don't get them like we have - if you do - No more bottom fishing - got to get it up about 2 ft at least.

Big Bluegill Video Part 2

Last November, I created the Big Bluegill.com video using a compilation of images and video segments from our galleries. This video has since received more than 15,000 views worldwide. Our member base has significantly grown over the last 8 months, and so has the amount of quality pics submitted by our members.



A sequel to this video is in the works and is planned to be released on the anniversary of part 1.


Keep the great pics coming....images uploaded as late as Nov 15

The Forbidden Pond

Last week I ventured back to an old farm pond that I used to fish in the early 80's.......small, about an acre....small feeder creek coming in and a substancial dam to slow the flow.....I used to catch some really nice Gills and big Largemouth there back in the day.
Traveling light...spudbar/bucket/vex/pole/scooper....I finally made my way back to the pond only to find someone fishing it....I approached in a kind manner and asked the very old gentleman if he would mind if I also fished the pond… Continue

My primary box is armed with an array of Demons, Marmooskas, Hali jigs, Rat finkeys, Moon glo and glitters, Gill pills and an assortment of ho… Continue

Deep water spoon presentation and rigging

Deep water spoon presentation........Using light braided line ( 2-3lb dia./ 6lb test) and Fluorocarbon leaders.... a small barrel swivel to make leader connection and a small snap at the spoon end....DO NOT attach a split ring to the lead end of the spoon....use a small quality snap instead.
I like to make long downwind casts and let the spoon fall on a taught line to detect bites on the fall.....once on bottom, I snap the spoon up a few feet and begin a very slow retrieve with an occasional twi… Continue

Hey Bill, just a note to let you know that your videos are not only fun to watch, but very informative. For years my kids have always been finicky about fish if any bones are present, even the miniscule pin bones. I've taken up your cleaning method. The video worked.You definetly have a knack for teaching and entertaining. Anyway, thanks again.
