Bluegill are something special and very underrated. They were some of the first fish that I caught as a kid and I still enjoy fishing them today as an adult. Whether you catch them casting from the shore, casting from a boat and putting your line in the water right next to the boat, there's always that bit of excitement seeing that bobber sink and setting the line to hook a monster bluegill. Much respect by letting the over-sized ones go. That helps to keep the population strong and ensures fishing for these fish for years to come :)

I know! It’s like shooting does in deer season. There’s no easier species to catch or clean if you want meat in the freezer. Limits are high and worms are cheap.

Bluegill are probably the most underrated freshwater fish in North America. People think that because they are smaller, they are a trashy bait fish. They are a blast to fish for! If you can get some nice sized Bluegill they fight like hell! They're easy to catch, and are great eating!!!!!

I have a 3 acre pond and I mostly catch bluegill. They are amazingly delicious 😋 I use mostly a 1/16oz rooster tail
Everybody I know is to proud to go bluegill fishing. They say it’s for kids. Drives me insane because I prefer to catch bluegill for the fun and to eat. Guys fish all day over a bass but I like to reel in bluegill one after another lol. I get bored real quick trying to catch bass. Bluegill to big to keep?? Wtf lol 😂

Generally the bigger the fish is, the less appealing its meat will be, as well as better breeding fish for sustaining the population. It may be more fun or impressive to land a big fish, but I would take a plate of fillets cut from little guys over big ones any day.

use a small chunk of worm, or make sure once you hook the worm you dont have ends sticking out very far where the fish can get the worm and not the hook. you kinda want to ball the worm up on your hook so when the bluegill bites he gets the hook.

You should put some bread on a hook. Don’t smoosh it on or it’ll sink. Then cast it as far as you can go using only a hook and bread, no weights or bobbers. Then thrown some small pieces of bread right next to your hook. Make sure to splash when you throw the bread in. And be careful with the bread on your hook, it can come off very easily. I caught 7 in 20 minutes with this method today. Hope this helps!
