Bluegill
For Bluegill enthusiasts in the Columbus, Georgia area, the Chattahoochee River and its associated ponds and lakes offer consistent action. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are particularly productive. Look for shallow, weedy areas and around submerged structure. Crickets and worms are classic bluegill baits, but small jigs and poppers can also be effective, especially during the mayfly hatches. A key tip is to fish the shaded areas during the hottest part of the day. Many of the smaller ponds around Columbus offer easy bank access for bluegill fishing. While bluegill in this region don't typically grow to enormous sizes, they are plentiful and provide excellent sport for anglers of all ages.
