Bluegill Fishing in Ohio


How To Catch Bluegill In Ohio

Big Bluegill Fishing in OhioFor this April I was planning to go fishing in Alabama to catch my first bluegill. But this morning I found my self walking through a dark forest near New Straitsville, in Perry County, Southeast Ohio..  to find a little pond at an old coal mine.


I was so ready and excited to catch a bluegill. I have never seen one before. We don't have it in European lakes. For local fisherman it's not a special fish at all and nothing to get excited about it. They catch smaller bluegills to use as live bait to catch catfish and decent size largemouth bass.

I quickly made a simple rig; a small size hook and bobber on a 23mm line.
Here they use worms to catch everything. So I followed my friends. Even though I hate using live creatures to catch fish, I had no choice..

Here the result! my first Bluegill
They were everywhere. Around the old trees, bushes, weeds, deep bottoms, shore and all over the pond. They just love worm and attack it like a shark. I loved playing with them! It was an awesome day for me. I liked in Fishing Bluegill in Ohio

My first Bluegill was really a good, decent size one. This is the second catch. It was rather a small one but it attacked the worm like a piranha :)

Best Trolling Lure For Mediterranean Sea

Image
The best way to catch Tuna , bonito , Atlantic mackerel , Atlantic bonito , or just classic big mackerel in Mediterranean Sea is trolling. Even from a small boat and only a few hundred meters away from the coast, you can catch lots of these fishes. But, of course if you use the right lures and rigs. Many of both amateurs and professional fishermen use feathers and any kind of small lures for bonitos and for tunas they prefer bigger sizes. For years people around Mediterranean Sea have believed that bullet head skirted lures are for wild open seas, like waters around Australia and USA. But in recent years I witnessed that more and more amateurs trying this kind of items, too. Well, I am one of them. And I am very happy with the results. This ' Abalone Bullet Head ' is absolutely amazing for bigger bonitos, tunas and Atlantic mackerels. Yes, especially for bigger ones. Here the picture of my favourite bullet head Abalone lure for Mediterranean Sea. It is 145mm and it ca

Heavy Casting For Mediterranean Snapper and Dentex

Image
Make your dreams real, catch the biggest Dentex and Snapper. Every angler who lives around Mediterranean Sea dreams to catch a giant dentex or big snappers. These fish are so strong and you feel their awesome strength when you get the first bite. Heavy casting from the beach is not easy. So most of  the amateur fishingmen try catch big snappers and dentex  from the boat in deep waters, but this guy knows how to catch these beautiful creatures from the beach. They also taste so good. Dentex is my favourite fish to grill. And the snapper is best in foil with veggies. Adult dentex can reach a length of 1 metre (3 ft), and weight up to 16 kg (35 lb). Body is oval and compressed. While young dentex are brown-blue with blue fins, adults are grey-blue. And usually found in shallow water less than 50 m deep. Catching these huge fish is an amazing feeling. Also great fun as you will catch them while having a little picnic as you have to wait for the fish to bite. Dentex is a powerful

Fishing Painted Comber With DUO Spearhead Ryuki

Image
DUO Spearhead Ryuki 50MDF is one of those magical lures in my tackle bag.  About 8 months ago I have introduced this amazing little minnow when I tried it first time - Spearhead Ryuki Floating Minnow For Bass and Bluegill -  in a lake in Ohio, USA. Since then I took this Spearhead Ryuki almost everywhere I have travel  ed. I caught couple of neddlefish in the sea and a a few perches in the river.  Last week finally I had a chance to try it for LRF. There was a little pebbled beach with some shallow rocky bottom. It looked perfect for my naughty minnow. Water was calm and very clear. And took only about 50 seconds.. Bammm! First Painted Comber of the day was hooked. What a fun! These painted combers are like hyperactive kids on the block. If you present them the right colour of bait, they will never say NO. I caught 7 combers with DUO Spearhead Ryuki 50MDF Full Chart Yamame and all released back in blue waters of Mediterranean .
