Bluegill
If you're headed to Rome, Georgia and have bluegill on your mind, you're in for a treat. The Coosa River and its tributaries offer some fantastic panfishing opportunities. Focus your efforts in the spring and early summer when bluegill move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged timber, docks, and weed beds in areas with minimal current. A simple worm and bobber rig is tough to beat, but don't be afraid to experiment with small jigs or crickets. Water clarity can fluctuate, especially after rainfall, so be prepared to adjust your presentation accordingly. A local tip: The access point at Heritage Park offers good bank fishing opportunities, especially for families. Remember, bluegill are sensitive to pressure, so move around if you're not getting bites.
