Bluegill On Parade

Yesterday afternoon bf and I decided to head out Lake Cochituate, in search of anything. We found a nice little spot with some cover while it was drizzling and cloudy, threw some trout worms, a night crawler, a lure that I lost and do not miss, and a senko. With about an hour's worth of effort , all we got were 3 bluegill-- and I'm not convinced they were different fishes. Probably just one idiotic fish.

As we were considering relocating, a guy named Michael recommended Lake Waban at Wellesley College. Around 3pm, in the sun, we went there. We found a nice little spot with a fairly steep drop off and good (if hook snagging) cover, and threw in some trout worms. Instant bluegill bites. Even after switching to bigger hooks and lures, we STILL were nailing bluegill. We must have caught 30 of the little fighters.

All in all, nothing huge, nothing but bluegill, but a lot of fun!

  • Little bluegills are always good fun.

    I keep the smallest size hooks on the market and catch a couple that are no more than 2, 2.5 inches, and I toss one out live for a big bass or pickerel. Anyplace overflowing with bluegills has something eating them.

    Good fun.
