Bluegill
Belzoni, Mississippi, is a bluegill paradise. The numerous oxbow lakes and sluggish waterways offer ideal conditions for these panfish to thrive. Imagine casting a line into a quiet, sun-drenched slough, surrounded by cypress trees – that's Belzoni bluegill fishing. Spring, particularly April and May around the full moon, is when they bed up in the shallows, making them easy targets. However, you can find them year-round, especially near submerged structure like fallen trees and brush piles. A simple cane pole with a cricket or worm is deadly. Many of the smaller lakes are accessible from the bank, but a small boat or kayak will open up more opportunities. Local tip: look for clear water near vegetation, as this is where bluegill congregate to feed. Expect to catch plenty of fish in the 6-8 inch range, with some larger specimens mixed in.
