Bluegill
Bluegill fishing around Mooresville, NC, centers on Lake Norman, where these panfish thrive in the lake's abundant shallow water habitat. Spring and early summer are excellent times to target bluegill as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for bedding areas in protected coves and near docks. A simple setup with a small hook, worm, and bobber is often all you need. As the water warms, bluegill can be found around submerged vegetation and structure. A local tip is to use crickets or grasshoppers for bait, as they are a natural food source. Also, try fishing early in the morning or late in the evening for best results. Lake Norman bluegill are generally plentiful, providing a fun and accessible fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels. Be aware of any posted no-fishing zones around private docks.
