Well, I needed to replenish the bluegill meat that got eaten over the last few days. I was hoping they were still biting pretty good. Headed down to Mantua this morning in hopes to accomplish this. Well, needless to say, I got it done. The bluegill wouldn't let me take a drink of my hot apple cider for the first hour. Fished for right at three hours. I caught 56 bluegill total and took home a little less than my limit. I thought I had right around the limit, but I wasn't keeping an exact count. I also caught 5 perch, one of which made the trip home with me. I pulled another largemouth through the ice too. This one was about 7 inches long. Tossed her back. And I brought home one of the two trout I caught. I will be having more fish for dinner tonight and tomorrow. I can eat my weight in bluegill, plus my kids love them. Beats buying stuff from the grocery store any day. I would love to make it back there every day this week, but not sure which days I will be back at it again. Quit fishing around 10 am and packed up. Then walked out and talked with some fellow BFT'ers out there who were having decent days.
