Bluegill
If you're looking for some consistent bluegill action, the ponds and backwaters around Columbia, Alabama, can provide plenty of fun. These panfish are abundant in the region, and they're a great target for anglers of all skill levels. Look for bluegill around vegetation, docks, and submerged structure. They're particularly fond of areas with lily pads and other aquatic plants. Bluegill fishing is typically best from spring through fall, with the peak spawning season in late spring offering some particularly exciting action. A simple setup with a bobber, hook, and worm is all you need to get started. A local tip: Try fishing early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the heat of the day and the crowds. Also, consider using crickets or grasshoppers as bait, as they can be even more effective than worms at times. Many smaller, privately owned ponds are scattered around the area, so with permission, you may find unpressured fishing.
