Thin wire hooks are the choice with live bait because the bait will stay alive longer and will be more enticing to fish as it squirms on the hook.Īrtificial baits suitable for catching bluegill are numerous. Hooks with long shanks are easier to remove from their small mouth, especially if the bait is swallowed. This is true whether you use artificial lures or live bait.īluegills have small mouths and a small hook is essential: sizes 6 or 8 seem best. Rarely will a bluegill chase food items therefore, it's important to fish very slowly. Bluegill fishing is best in spring and summer as fish congregate to spawn.īluegill feed mainly on aquatic insects, which are slow-moving creatures. Quality-size bluegill are not found in every water bluegill live in because their populations are quite cyclic with regard to the abundance of large fish.
While catching bluegill in general is easy, catching quality-size bluegill is more difficult.
During their spawning period (water temperature >70☏) bluegill can be caught on almost anything (even a bare hook) cast near their nest.
