Bluegill

For consistent bluegill action near Bolton, Mississippi, focus on the numerous farm ponds and small lakes scattered throughout the region. These waters, often teeming with insects and vegetation, provide ideal habitat for bluegill. Spring and summer are the best times to fish, particularly during the spawning season when they congregate in shallow, protected areas. A simple setup with a bobber, small hook, and live cricket or worm is often all you need. Look for areas with submerged vegetation or near docks and piers. A local tip: try chumming with bread crumbs or small pieces of dog food to attract bluegill to your fishing spot. The bluegill in these smaller waters tend to be plentiful but can be wary, so use light line and a stealthy approach. Early morning and late afternoon offer the best bite.
