Bluegill
If you're heading to Florence, Alabama, with bluegill on your mind, you're in for a treat. The Tennessee River and its associated creeks and backwaters around Florence offer excellent bluegill habitat. Focus your efforts in areas with submerged vegetation, fallen trees, and rocky shorelines – these spots provide cover and attract the insects that bluegill feed on. Spring and early summer, during the spawn, are prime times, but you can find them throughout the year. As water temperatures change, adjust your depth accordingly. A simple bobber and worm rig is effective, but don't be afraid to experiment with small jigs or crickets. A local tip: the areas around McFarland Park and the Shoals Creek embayment offer good bank access.
