Woke up and decided I wanted to go to Brush Hollow and test it out as I've been dying to catch something besides trout for a while now. Got there around 12:30ish lots of people there fished the north east side of the lake where all the downed trees and flooded vegation was. Snag central, good thing I had my waders in the jeep needed to get a few snags out. I got my son's pole out and ready and he called me over to this little cove and said look at all those fish. When I got there, there were probably 20 blue gill stacked up ontop of each other. So I rigged up his pole with a bobber and a hook showed him how much worm to put on and before I got back to the jeep to get my pole he had one. I showed him how to take them off so he dont get stung. Then went to get my pole and 2 maybe 3 steps he had another one. Made him take it off he did good, then he was like watch. Casted back out and about 5 secs later had another one this one stung him so I had to talk him into taking them off, or he couldnt catch them anymore. Finally got my pole and was looking at some downed logs I wanted to hit for bass but the kid talked me into coming over by him and fishing. So I went and caught about 30 or 40 bluegill with him then slowly crept my way over to the logs I wanted to hit. Caught 1 black crappie about 13 inches and 1 small bass before I was summend back to help get "the big one" un snagged, as a nice 10 incher got his line around some tree limbs in the water. So I stayed over there to help him finish off the worms that had been in the fridge for about 3 weeks. All in all my first 100 bluegill of the year(caught almost every cast some before the bobber even hit the water), 1 my first crappie of the year, and my first bass (even though he was a small one) of the year.
Caught the crappie and the bass on a yellow jig, Cody (the kid) caught a bunch on worms, jigs, spoons, kastmasters, spinners. Just about everything he threw at them. Worms by far were the best way to go the bigger ones took the jigs.
