tjhunt2 Report post Posted May 9, 2012 The day before was tuff on my fishing skills, at San Carlos, so this day I decided to do one of my favorites. Fishing the bluegill spawn is a great way of having fun on the lake along with filling up with taco filets. According to azgfd the spawn is on and are they right. Dad and I got on Saguaro Lake at 6:30am and soon was having a bunch of fun. The action was constant and Dad was keeping me busy. I tried to make this an effortless day of work for him so I tied all his hooks and removed most of his fish so he wouldn't have to leave his chair. My best reward of the day came on the ride home. Dad said he couldn't remember when he had so much fun catching fish. Here are a few pictures of our day. Dad Having fun One of many doubles These fish are beautiful Dad's big fish of the day Another pic of Dad's big bluegill Back at the fort The work begins Peg finishing up the filets How many wife's will allow this in the kitchen sink? After 1 1/2hrs our reward Ready for the frying pan These are so good Peg does a cracked up job of preparing super The final results after a very long day and well worth it.
