..And glad I did.Caught this nice mess of Bluegill and one Shellcracker this morning. They were bedding in a foot and a half of water and I kept catching them till the last worm. This is about all I like to clean at one time anyway.
-
Man, that's a nice mess of 'crackers! When's supper ready? ;D
-
We stocked a bunch of F1 Hybrid Gills on our pond 4 springs ago...was just thinking about doing a cookout with some. What's preferred method of cleaning em & cooking em?
-
Great Job i went fishing with my little bro Tyler and he caught 7 i caught 0
-
I miss fishin for bluegill. We just don't have food bluegill lakes anymore.
-

-
Dang it Eddie now I gotta buy bait and head for the Altamaha. Niced mess of fish.Ron
-
Nice haul!
-
I love fishing for Bluegill, and catfish. I caught these in a Park around the corner from my house. Before it was a Park it was just woods and old Phosphate mine pits. That was my hangout when I was in my Teens. It was kinda fun to go back and hit my old, favorite fishing spots.
-
Nice haul
-
man those are some hogger blue gill ;D nice job they dont that big were i live to cold >:(
-
Lee;
I scale, cut the head and clean the guts. Then lightly batter with corn meal and deep fry in peanut oil. The heads and guts get buried in my garden to feed the worms.
-
nice gills Eddie.gills are one of my favorite fish to eat.you guys grow them big down there.
-
Could ya smell them bedding Eddie. I used to love to take a Brim Buster telescoping pole a bit of 4# mono line and a few different popping bugs and see what was popping! I can smell them beds from here. 8) Good eats too, just like you discribed. ;)
-
Thats a heck of a bluegill catch. Really fun getting them that size on the fly
-
Man you hit the jackpot with that bunch. Oh, I do love Blue Gills, Shell Crackers, Warmouth perch, Specks, and little yellow belly Catfish! Man, those are nice ones. Yep, just scale, and cut the heads off, and clean out the innards, and a little homemade batter, and whoowee, they are good! I like to cook in Coconut oil, but it all tastes great! So did you get any Rain? Didn't rain at all over here. Was supposed to, but nice clear skies all day. Did You take your Grand son with you? Or do you want to keep your little honey hole a secret? ;D I bet he would have had a ball. Also you can use those little Japanese beetles that get around the door light at night. When I was a kid, I would get a mayonnaise jar, and fill it up pretty well with those, and the bream loved them. Most of the time I would just worms like you did, but occasionally I would use those beetles. My cousin used to buy crickets, till I showed him the results with the beetles. ;) Man, those sure look good ! Especially with some of those collards, and some hush puppies! Darn!, Now I have to hit the refrigerator! :P

wow!! nice. Old fishing holes are the best...... where I learned to fish. Pete
-
Nice haul, Eddie!
-
I went back this morning and they were still there. They're invited to the fish fry, too. ;D Pat and David, I was catching them on my ultra lite spinner, fishing out of my Kayak. Pat, yea, you could smell them, that's how I found the spot.
-
Hey Mullet, you ever catch any of those Oscars? I never tried to eat one, but they are the flightiness fish in the pond and big also.. :)
-
Never caught one, I think it gets a little too cold for them where I'm at. I was told they taste pretty good, though
-
Nice catch. You sure are making my hungry for some fish and home made fries.
Growing up, we had an oscar in our aquarium for years. It got huge. We used to buy it half a dozen gold fish and watch him eat them.
-
My buddy had a 3# Oscar in his aquarium. He would hold a shrimp about six inches above the water and it would jump and take it out of his fingers.
-
That's a fine mess of fish ya got there,some of my favorites for sure.I don't get to hit the fresh water much just to easy to hit the bays.Had some trout tacos last night.Well enjoy those tasty treats I can taste them gills from here

Well done Eddie I bet if you took a fly rod you can clean the whole fishing hole
-
beautiful catch. I love catching gills on my ultralight rigs...so much fun.
We Vietnamese eat the whole fish...My favorite part are the eyes and the brain...MMMMmmMMmmm good.
-
I like the eyes also. I once made a soup with nothing but crab meat and floating eyeballs just for the heck of it. And it was quite tasty. :P :)
-
My favorite fish, and favorite beer, nice haul. We filet them and bread them with fry crisp, and pickle the rib meat. My wife makes fun of me cause I got a whole tackle box full of bass lures and fish with a worm a bobber or the fly rod, tons of fun on light tackle.
-
Hot Dog! :)
That's some fine Catchen', and Eatin'!!

Man Eddie your little hands make those minnows look huge. >:D

Great haul Eddie, I fillet then, then i take a sheet of tinfoil and pull the edges up a bit, I put butter, diced garlic, and onions in the bottom, then i put salt and pepper on both sides of each filet and put a few in each tinfoil "boat". then you crimp the edges at the top and put them on the grill. UNBEATABLE!!!!!
