Hope everyones having a great spring!
Gills are spawning. A week of staking out a bed of nice sized gills, finally paid off last week. I caught 100 Bluegill in 4 days (the place I go has a limit of 25 per-day). I only live 1/2 mile from the lake. Three of the 4 days I was home within an hour! The slow day (day four) I was there 3 hours cathing the large females in the 3rd picture.The 4th day the males could be seen but had quit biting again.So I cast off on the deep side of the bed and waited. Here's the highlights.

Pictures never do fish size justice. These are 5-9" long.
