1/03/2011Bluegill fishing was great today ! We were fishing in about 3 feet of water with small jigs tipped with plastics and wax worms. We were in ice shacks so we could see the fish down the hole when they came in to the jigs. At times we had at least a dozen gills down the hole at once. Lots of small ones would be down the hole so you had to pull the jigs away from the small ones and let the larger fish get a chance at it. Tips for fishing the blue gills are mamooska jigs tipped with red plastics. 2 of the bluegill were 10 inches long.
