Bluegill are spawn on JPP

[jaycee]

Spawning on JPP Priest and prob everywhere. A great time to get youngsters out to bank fish. Can use tm or meal worms. Fish are not very big but fun.

I don't think Priest has big blue gill. If so, I have never seen and would like to know which part of lake they can be caught. Just sayin.

Priest has some great bluegill. they have been on bed for close to 2 weeks now.

I saw a guy catching very nice ones from the bank at fate sanders marina yesterday afternoon

How much bigger do you want? A 10 inch Gill is a trophy...anywhere. Nine inch Gills are not that common either. Some lakes produce better Gills than others.....Laurel Hill.....Dale Hollow.....Fall Creek Falls State Park Lake. KY Lake is a great Gill fishery but a 10 inch Gill out of there is not common. I hear a lot of folks talking about 9-10 inch Gills but when they get that big I would like to see them on a Hawg Trough....measuring board. Are you telling me JPP is full of 10 inch Gills? If so I need to start fishing there...but I have never seen anyone on this forum...or any other forum....post a 10 inch Gill out of JPP.

That doesn't mean I have not caught them.

No it doesn't.

Does not mean I have either. :):)

Seriously, I caught some gills yesterday at JPP that were at the 9 inch range. Some of the best I have caught from there. Still not 10 though. I think they were full of eggs.

My wife thinks a 6 in gill is 9 inches for some reason.

Ott if I thought I could get that 10 inch Gill from JPP I wouldn't be running the highway.....blowing tires.....going to Dale Hollow......LOL. But I think my odds are better there...so will keep trying it. But if you find a spot up there with them....please give me a call....LOL.

Randy, if I find them I will call you. I think the live well was loaded with fish and you had too much weight on the tires.

You have been posting some beauties although I think you are photoing the same fish numerous times (like Jimmy and Juice). :D I think you could catch fish in a heavy dew.
Keep it up.

There are so many jokes I could make here...

Calm down. I never said JPP was full of 10" gills. I said 8-9" fish. I'd like 9" or better but just haven't found any yet. I walked down to my spot tonight and only had an hour to fish. I brought home 15 like the one pictured. Some were a touch longer than this one but he had good shoulders on him. I don't fish for gills much so I don't know how big they get in Priest. I've only lived here 5 years and never really fished seriously for them. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160513/3237c57deef699394e2a48be8192b83e.jpg

Not being uncalm....if that is a word...LOL. If there were 10 inch Gills in JPP I was going to get up there and fish. That Gill in your pic is a fine fish....big black Bull Gill. I would stay on them all day if I had found them...to heck with the smallmouth. Eight inch is a good Gill all day long. What makes that one very good is his girth...and he is starting to get that "Helmet Head"....and that Gill has great genes. I am taking a lure designer to Dale Hollow tomorrow to fish for Smallies...but....if I get on Gills like in your pic..or better....well there won't be any Smallies caught. He will just have to live with it...LOL.
