I am interested in finding a place were I can catch LARGE bluegill from shore. I am getting hooked on fishing with bluegill floating bugs and a float. It's fun with my light line and rod. I have been catching a lot of them, but I would like to catch some real large ones like we use to when I was a kid. The way I fish now days after all these years, I'm starting to feel like a kid again. Anyone know some good spots to try?

I don't know how good you can do from shore but piney run Reservoir in Sykesville md has had some of the biggest blue gill and crappie plus a host of other fish but I have rented canoes on the weekends and have caught huge blue gill on the other side from where you can fish from shore in weed beds

Thanks crappie410, but that's way too far for me. I live on the Eastern Shore.

Lake Bonnie is decent too. Try the stream

Urieville and Smithville

The biggest 'gills I've ever caught was fishing Urieville but that was in the spring when they were on their beds..

Tommy, I heard lake Bonnie was closed. Heard it was polluted. Is the stream Red Bridges?

Thanks guys, I will keep looking and trying. Nick/catman, I use to ice fish Urieville, caught some huge bass through the ice. I live near, and fish Smithville Lake often. I fished there two days ago and caught 3 bass and lost two in the lily pads. I think I made a report with pictures, but no replies.
