Must have fished a different section of the lake as I was there Tuesday and the gills were all over the shallows. Some nice crappie too.

I was there this past wed the 16th. Only caught one bluegill (pretty good size) but a lot of large mouth. Fish and game stopped by and said it should be picking up within a week or so. Good luck, Derick

So ya makes me think I gotta get off the marsh and get up to the lakes! If you can stand a tag-along, lemme know when you're going - see if I can take a run too. This weekend might find my way there.
Re: [CoyoteSpinner] bluegill spawn - gstott - 05-19-2012
I'm booked up this weekend, but I was planning on heading up Monday or Thursday.

I've fished Johnsons, Lamont, Twin, and Winder the past 3 weeks. Blue gill would not stay off the hooks on all the lakes. Yesterday was Twin and Winder...LMB are playing too!
Smiey!

How big were the fish at Winder? I really hope that little reservoir can recover.
Gills are definitely active. I took a break from catching bass to get some gills for dinner. They made some mighty fine tacos. I was really impressed with the colors on them too.

Caught a lot of 5-6 inchers and a couple 8's. The biggest LMB 14" and I lost count. I think it will recover if we get the moisture this year.
Rumor has it drought is on the way...
DRAT![:p]

Yeah, it's not looking good. Crispy lawns and temps in the upper 80s in May isn't a good sign. Darn it.

I didn't make it across the border, but I did get out for [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=747176;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;page=unread#unread"]chasing some panfish[/url]. Didn't find much for bass, but was fun playing with footballs.
Sounds like things are hopping pretty good up there, if you know how to fish like the Ma! [

Re: [CoyoteSpinner] bluegill spawn - gstott - 05-23-2012
Looks like you got some nice gills. I hadn't eaten them in about 20 years. They're dang tasty, I'll be eating them more often.
The bass are definitely getting more oriented to the beds now. I prefer right before they bed as they're fatter and they're roaming the shallows looking for food. I'm curious how this cold snap we're going to get will affect them.
