I do love me some blue gill filets, but not enough to walk out on the ice to get’em.I love fish through the ice.
That's how I am, I always went with a buddy that had the gear. I finally bought an auger at a yard sale and haven't had ice thick enough to use it. Maybe today will be my chance.I've never done a ton of ice fishing but I've enjoyed it when I have.
I gotta admit, some nice hot crappie fresh out of the oil sounds pretty danged good right about now.
I've honestly never really been able to tell a big difference between bluegill and crappie but crappie has always been more challenging to catch so that's probably why I've leaned toward them. My Grandfather preferred crappie so I'm sure that's part of it as well.My freezer is loaded with crappie. I have it a couple/three times a week. I loped into an air fryer crappie method that goes from freezer to plate in around 15 minutes. Pretty handy fast food with little mess.
Bluegill is my favorite though. I don't have as easy access to good bluegill fishing as I did years ago.
Problem is not being able to talk about shared memories with those that were a part of those memories. At 77 years old there are only a couple of those people still alive. I do share my memories with my younger friends but there is a difference between telling the story and joking with the others involved. Jim.Isn’t that what life is all about the memories you have and the ones you leave behind.
