IDHunters,
Hi, and nope to the inquiry about bank fishing. I was in a boat at Twin Lakes and float tube at Winder.
By the way, I just got done cleaning them and there were 46 total that I brought home averaging about 8". The largest was 8.9". My cut line for keepers was about 7.5" and I estimate catching about 5 to 1 for a ratio of what I threw back to what I kept (I probably caught well over 200 between the two places). I should also say that other than fishing deeper into the lake than normal, the bluegill at Twin Lakes were in the traditional places (only) and were difficult to locate and tempt to bite. There really isn't much (willow) cover there especially as the level goes down. I was there after the wind started to blow, so it was virtually impossible to sight fish.
Good luck to the rest of you guys. I hope you get there before the Memorial Weekend crowd since they usually cull the bigger ones.
Thanks for thanks.
