If you could travel to any lake in North America to catch big bluegills, where would you go? I would like to go on a trip with my wife for a chance at some big ones.

I don't know where you would go but It would probably have to be when those gills are on the beds. That way at least you wouldn't have to worry If they are biting or not.
There are some cribs on the Chip and I have caught some nice gills off of them but they are hard to find and the fishing Is a little spotty. A couple of years ago I was fishing a crib and caught a 39" musky On my ultra lite and 2Lb test line. Even landed It.
Good luck.

I am just looking for a new place to fish maybe hit the spawn down south while on a road trip. How did your Lake Winnipeg trip work out? All,the forum members that responded to your request on lures to use, are waiting for the walleye fillets to be shipped. I'm checking my mailbox every day? LOL We use to always head to the keys during spring break. Stayed at a place called Checca Lodge, $$$$, but there only 4 days. There are some great charters both on the gulf side and Atlantic side. Make sure you try the stone crab claws..... You want to make sure you don't splash any of the meat up on your forehead...... Your tongue will slap your brains out trying to get to it!
