Great Day for the Gills

Fished in Bridgewater with Doug E. Temperature this afternoon was in the upper 20s with a northwest wind of 10 knots. We fished an area called Rattle Snake Bay, which protected us from any wind and made for a beautiful evening on the lake. The water was 12 feet deep and we were fishing 1 foot off the bottom. He was using Rat Finkes with mousies and I had glow jigs with spikes. Doug likes to fish this lake in the afternoon because it produces the best fishing then. Today was no let down. About 3:45 PM the fish started to bite and by the time it got dark we had a nice pile of fish on the ice. We kept 50 bluegill, 2 perch and 1 crappie. I would like to say that I caught my share of fish but Doug out fished me 3 to 1.
