Welcome back to a mini-series... The Pursuit Of A 10! This series is all about seeking out & catching trophy-class Bluegill. As a multispecies angler, I have grown to love Bluegill not only as a neat part of the ecosystem, but also as a truly prominent sportfish. What I have found, however, is that Bluegill tend to earn 1 of 2 reputations - they can be either a "beginner fish" or a "fill the freezer fish". I definitely believe they are far greater than those two stereotypes. I believe they are a true sportfish and you know what else is great about them? They are pretty much everywhere!
My goal is simple with this mini-series... Build confidence in my big bluegill hunting skills & catch a 10" gill along the way. Michigan considers a 10" Bluegill a "Master Angler" Fish - essentially implying that it is a trophy in our waters. I definitely feel I can accomplish this goal throughout the course of this series, however time will tell. Ultimately, I just want to continue to flex my multispecies muscles and learn more about targeting and patterning large bluegill. Throughout this series, I will obviously be fishing a lot but I also intend to include some informative biology information so we can all learn to be better conservationists and help create better big bluegill fisheries for years to come.
In this episode, I target a new body of water which is larger than the first two and features deeper water. Unfortunately, I broke my favorite ultralight on this trip but I did learn a few things so it wasn't all bad. Definitely excited to keep the series going!

Broke my Dobyns BFS rod the same way. I went to my LTS, which happens to be a Dobyns dealer. Paid the $60 replacement fee and walked out with a brand new rod. So dont be sad, it's a lifetime warranty! :) I love Dobyns

They are $249 but I bought it when they do their trade show deals for 25%off. My #2 I really think you would like. It is a 7'5 Ray fishing golden feather. It is more sensitive than the Dobyns and almost as much back bone. Oh and the price is $119👍

If your really looking for a 10” Gill stop fishing shallow water. Fish the drop off and deeper holes 18’ - 30’. Target bigger fish not the dinks. Maybe use the Gulp minnow as well.

Believe it or not, I fished a lot of deep water that day and only found short-striking dinks. I believe the larger gills will start working off deeper soon but from what I have seen thus far, most are still shallow. I promise I am trying everything on these trips - not every bit of video makes the final cut after editing lol

I'm too new at fishing so this is not advice. Consider it a theory. If you want to catch bigger fish use bigger tackle? I know you like 1/64 and micro-size but maybe it's not just location. Maybe a lure that would make a 10" crappie take some notice. I'm a big boy. I can afford to let a candy bar or a doughnut float on by while I'm waiting on the NY Strip or Porterhouse to grab my attention. Sorry about the rod. I broke the handle on my Patriarch a few days ago and have no real backup. Another lesson learned from you... I need to get a secondary setup.
@fantomphoenix6170
@fantomphoenix6170 3 жыл бұрын
It’s not always the case. Bigger lures will weed out smaller fish, but smaller lures are more tempting to them (from what I have seen) and you get more fish. If you get more fish you can see where the fish are grouped up easier, and just keep filtering through fish until you get a bigger one or move on to a new school. By “from what I have seen” I was fishing a river and saw a nice pike,I started off on a bigger paddle tail, hopping it across the bottom, tried that about 20 times, switched on over to a small paddle tail, similar to the ones he’s using, and lost it to the 3 1/2 4ft pike I saw. That’s just 1 example. I like to think of little baits being more opportunities
@FishAnything
@FishAnything 3 жыл бұрын
I definitely think that larger profiles will draw the attention of larger fish in most cases (especially for bass). That said, Bluegill primarily feed on small aquatic insects and plankton. Going bigger in profile than the DT Jr. would probably increase my rate of catch on juvenile bass but would probably reduce my Bluegill catch rate significantly. I definitely plan to keep experimenting with other presentations however I think the profile I am using is about where I need to be.

Thank you! This rod breaking was totally my fault. The Dobyns rod features a solid tip which makes it super thin. Using braid on it was probably a dumb idea from the start... Because it was my fault, I paid $80 for a brand new rod from Dobyns (which is pretty fair in my eyes). Had it been a rod defect, they would have sent me a free one. Most UL rods handle braid fine. I would just advise against using it on a solid-tipped rod. And my favorite reel is my Daiwa Tatula LT 1000. Whether you go Shimano or Daiwa or whatever, I recommend a size 1000. It just flat out works!

Sorry to hear about your rod. What was the $80 for? Is that just for shipping or does Dobyns charge you a percentage of MSRP to replace yours?

Because it was not a rod failure and it was my fault, they basically have a program to replace the rod for $80 ($60 for the new rod and $20 for the shipping). All I have to do is mail in the logo portion of the rod. Honestly, that is a really fair program. It wasn't the rod's fault, it was mine. So the fact that they give me a more affordable way to get a new one is pretty neat!

These were made to fit the Mule Jigs (but obviously those are sold out right now). They will be available again VERY soon! But otherwise, you can use any other jigs that feature size 6 or smaller hooks!

That's not good! So the other day I was watching a few of your older vidoeson the Nedrig! Is that the only finesse bait you use for bass fishing or do you use others like Wacky rigs or Shakeyhead! I'm just trying to work with something that works! Used the Ned rig the other day I did work. Just overwhelmed with everything out there these days!

I love all finesse fishing but Ned Rig is definitely my go-to. In my area, we have a lot of offshore weed-beds and clear water. It makes it very solid for Ned Rig fishing. Wacky rigs are awesome for fishing specific targets with (brush piles, docks, etc.). Shaky heads tend to perform great on hard bottoms but I don't like them around grass so I don't throw them anymore. I used to crush fish on them in Kansas though. And I love a drop shot when I am working off deeper in the water column. Good luck!
