Annie you need , a 6.0 penn with a stout trolling rod . These blue gill pound for pound can pull a John Deere sideways . Oh Boy ! Good luck on landing the mighty bluegill.
you want some bonita filets to go with your hard head delites? finfish? or maybe some oyster cracker and sauted sea robbin or perhaps a nice ribbon fish sandwhich? we can deep fry anice lizardfish if you wish? because you are truly a pioneer when it comes to gourmet fish cuisine. cigar minnow with gray puopon i hear is a treat. needle fish are tasty too but more of an appetizer. there just SOMANY TASTY FISH FOR YOU EAT! ENJOY THEM MY FRIEND.
pink garlic cheese.or velvita balls are good too. if things get tough try a chunk of oscur meyer hot dog. these are proven nj stock lake tricks. sometimes i mix chewed up bubble gum with baits.
I’ve caught big bluefin tuna in the gulf of St . Lawrence off PEI. All fish were giant over 500-900. And we were using 150# reels . With. Room stick type rods . Tony’s charters. Awesome trip
