Wednesday Fish Tale Pt. 1

[BigBassin144]

Packed up this morning and left the house around 8 (I know, I know, but yes that late). Headed down to a reservoir about 45 minuted south of Toledo in search of some big bluegills.

Got there, put a wax worm on, and immediately caught a small bluegill. It went like this for about 2.5 hours. I got one keeper not long after I got there, which I threw back because it wasn't as big as I was looking for. They frequently catch 10" bluegill, and I was looking for fish 8" and up. After more dink, I decided to go.

As I was leaving, I noticed a path to the back of the reservoir where I could access some areas we fished a couple years ago in the boat. I drove around and looked for the place I knew there were a couple submerged christmas trees. when I though I was close, I threw my hook out, and caught the best fish of the day. he was about 7", but after over two hours with dinks, I didn't care. in the cooler he went.

All in all, I ended up with three fish all about the same size, biggest going maybe 8". Not what I had hoped for, but my dad and I are going back this weekend with the boat. With three already caught, we need more for a fish fry.

Now I'm off to the local reservoir to try and catch me some bass. my part two report will come later, maybe some some pics of the bluegills.
