Loaded up on bluegill at the dam, eager to catch a gar on one of them! Well, I couldn&#39;t buy a bite. Finally, Paul landed an 11 lber on a bluegill filet. I am getting worse at catching fish now that I have my depth finder on the console. I&#39;m still in search of that flathead bite. Thought we had it yesterday, fishing tight to the bank in structure, and a bluegill was beat up, but it wasn&#39;t big enough I guess.<br /><br />I don&#39;t know if the heat had anything to do with the bite, but I was streaming sweat fishing for the bluegill at the dam, and this was after 7pm. I&#39;d rather fish in the day, but it is unbearably hot to me. Taking my future mother in law next week, the pressure is on. Although, I could just cheat and drift for small fish, which are pretty plentiful right now.<br />
