More Bluegill Fishing and My First Real Fishing Rod

Hi Folks!
I started my fishing "CAREER" fishing for Bluegills when I was 3 years old! Bluegills have stayed on my list of favorite catchable fish ever since. As I mentioned before, I grew up around a 12 acre pond and as I aged, I spent more and more time near the water. I would spent hours fishing day after day. Most of this fishing was done from the shore as I wasn't old enough to be out in a boat by myself, until around the age of 12! That didn't stop me from catching my far share of Bluegills,Yellow Perch, Catfish, Crappie and Bass! Dad would take me to other ponds and lakes in the county and sooner or later I would find a group of Bluegill in a corner just waiting for me to drop them a hook! At age 9, Dad bought me my first spin-cast fishing outfit! I thought I was in heaven! I could now start fishing with lures like the big people did! Dad took me out in the boat that first evening and talk about being excited, WOW! I put on a red and white Daredevil Spoon and started casting. Guess what I caught. Bluegill and more Bluegill while Dad caught Bass after Bass! At the end of the evening I did hook up with a 14 inch White Crappie and that made the evening perfect!
That will wrap it for today! Get out and go fishing. It's a great way to relax! And remember, take a small He and/or She fishing. They will never forget it!
