On the suggestion of jigmeister (and fishinchristian), I revisited the I-82 ponds, this time in my new pontoon boat for far superior access. Targeted bluegill specifically, but was also curious what was in there. There's a lot of bluegills in Pond 6. Size was not huge, but after 6 hours and non-stop action (I'm sure I caught 75-100 - that pond is packed with bluegills), I was able to bring home 25-30 decent sized fish. Also caught 2 yellow perch, one small foul-hooked fish, the other about 9" and plump. Fish were mostly caught in 8-12' of water off the milfoil beds and in the milfoil bed "holes". Rig was simple - ultralight with 4 lb test and a slip-rig bobber, using bits of those fake worms.

Fish finder was not brought along, but I wish I had - I'd like to know what depths I was fishing. I'd like to try again, but this time troll a mini crawler harness to see if I can find and target the perch schools.
