My homie and I hit up ElDo around 8-10. No bass but we caught 3 of these little guys on a small hooks and tiny pieces of nightcrawler. What are they? Bluegill?

That is a popular flylining choice at Alondra...sorry to say.

Looks like you guys were getting some little bluegills Surfer.

You guys should bring out some of your mini tube jigs and get u some nice fat crappies.

Let me guess, for hawg bass? On a more positive note, two older gentlemen who were DFG voluteers that were dressed in DFG clothing were walking the perimeter of the lake checking buckets and talking to anglers. I don't know if they had the authority to cite violators but it was an encouraging sight to see DFG represented out there for once. How come you never see that at Alondra?

So is it perch or bluegill?

I don't have a magnifying glass handy, but that is a Bluegill. I caught one that was a lot smaller than that a Jackson Lake last Tuesday.

You actually keep those tiny panfish? :LOL:



They don't even have enough meat to put on a cracker.

I threw them in my 135 gallon tank along with a largemouth bass, 2 peacocks bass, and a pleco(algae sucker). Now there's a small school of 3 small bluegill. It's a badass setup.

a few weeks ago i had 6 leftover from fishing so threw em in one of my 50 gallon tanks that only had an algea eater in it. 8 hours in they killed on of their own, the next morning 2 more dead clearly killed, came home few hours later one left all beat up but he was the toughest of them all apparently or at least outran the chaos til there was just one left.. mean lil f-ers

Not mine brah. They know better than to mess with the peacock bass or largemouth. Right now the largemouth is the king of the tank because he has a slight size advantage over everyone, but the peacocks can definitely hold their own.

Please keep us updated on your school of bluegill...That's funny and surprising the bass didn't eat the bluegill right away.

I think it's because they're so used to eating live nightcrawlers, bloodworms, and minnows that they don't bother trying to eat anything else.

How big is your tank Surfer? I've been wanting to do this for awhile now but afraid of the costs and how much of an upkeep it will take. Is it tough to maintain?

[Surfer]

Right now they are in a 135g tank. All my fish are juveniles so they should be fine in there for a couple years. When the time comes I will upgrade to a 300g. As far as upkeep, yes it requires a lot of filtration and water changes every week as these fish are very messy. They eat alot and poop alot. It takes a commitment just like having a cat or dog.
