Bluegill
For some exciting panfishing action near Cornelius, NC, look no further than Lake Norman's bluegill population. These feisty fish are abundant and readily accessible, making them a great target for anglers of all skill levels. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are particularly productive. Use small hooks baited with worms, crickets, or mealworms, and fish around docks, brush piles, and weed beds in shallow water. A local tip: look for bluegill beds in the backs of coves, identifiable by circular depressions in the lake bottom. Lake Norman's bluegill are known for their good size, providing both fun and a tasty meal. Access is easy from shore or boat, making it a convenient and enjoyable fishing experience.
