I went out to Steinaker yesterday morning hoping to catch some bass before that cold snap came in. I tied on a new Pepper Custom Jig with one of their Magic Craw trailers and started in the current by the ladders. I got a couple of hits but kept missing them, the fish where picking it up very soft. I really had to let the fish take it before setting the hook. I landed two bass nothing of any real size but, fish none the less. I started to fish the dam and started making piles of fish in 35' of water and thought I'd better try to catch one of them to find out what they were. I set up my dropshot rod with a Gulp minnow and sunk it down to the piles of fish. As soon as it hit the bottom I was getting little bites. I knew I was into trout but was surprised to find what was on the other end. I set the hook started reeling and the fish surfaced. Bluegill, I couldn't believe how deep they were. So I moved out to 45' of water, the fish were everywhere, and started to pull bluegills out of 45' of water. I couldn't believe it, the bluegill were thick and full of color. By far the prettiest bluegills ever. None were very big but it sure was fun.
I am not use to fishing alone, but I did remember to take one picture!!
