If you're looking for bluegill in Minneapolis, Kansas, focus your attention on the area's smaller lakes and ponds. These often-overlooked waters can hold surprisingly large bluegill. Rocky Ford State Fishing Area, not far from Minneapolis, is a great option. Spring spawning season (late May-early June) is arguably the best time, when bluegill are shallow and aggressive. However, you can find them throughout the summer near weed beds and submerged structure. A simple bobber and worm setup is hard to beat. Small jigs or insect imitations also work well. A local's secret: try fishing the shaded areas of the ponds during the hottest parts of the day. Also, be mindful of private property surrounding some ponds; always obtain permission before fishing.
