Friday April 29th Governor Bond Lake

Today I went with a Jake up the road to Governor Bond Lake just north of Greenville, Illinois. It was the first nice day in Greenville in about a week, so we took the opportunity to fish. The temperature was in the upper 60s with sunny conditions and a little wind. Went from 1100 to 1330 hrs. Caught nothing off of the dam, so went over to the main dock and caught 3 decent sized gills and a little crappie. Then went over to the east dock and caught evil bullhead (yellowbelly) on the first cast. I then followed that up with a whiper (striper/white bass hybrid), sheaphead (freshwater drum), pumpkinseed, green sunfish, another crappie (small) and 6 more gills (between 3 and 9 inches with most in the 7 to 8 inch range). All in all it was a good day.

Total Caught
9 bluegills
2 crappies
1 brown bullhead
1 whiper (striper/white bass hybrid)
1 pumpkinseed
1 green sunfish
1 sheaphead
