Well, the size of the bluegill, the size of the appetite of people dining. But i would estimate 3 or 4 would be an average, but it would not hurt to have a few more, just for insurance since you don't want anyone leaving the table still hungry! Just Sayin....RJS

Well, Thanks Ben: We don't usually eat the bait here, but use the perch as catfish bait, but I suppose if a family in really hungry, perch, carp, or any other fish is acceptable. I have had and enjoyed sardines that have only been 'headed'! We would keep a few tins of sardines and crackers in the boat and that would be lunch. There is no accounting for taste, and each individual is in charge his or her own. Just Sayin...RJS

My dad was a master with a fly rod on a small creek catching bluegill and red bellies in southwest AL. We would motor up several miles and float back fishing. On a sand bar we would clean 12 or so fish, pull out the old cast iron skillet, build a fire, fry the fish and eat with white bread and Coke. Dad thought this was much better than eating at fine restaurant with white table cloths.
Ronnie, this was on Big Creek below Airport Boulevard and above Big Creek’s junction with the Escatawpa.
Never got real large fish so 12 was usually just right for the two of us. I sure miss those trips. Who needs fine dining?

Any trip and sharing the experience with your dad is priceless! Northing can replace those memories and I dare to guess you treasure those times! Perhaps if you can, share with your children. Just Sayin...RJS

I can eat 6-7 with little to no sides. 4-6 with a couple sides

Whitereb: I thought so! Here is an honest man who is confessing the true number! A lot of folks probably are in the same boat, but hold back and pretend they are full, but who could have consumed twice as many. Just Sayin...RJS
