Bluegill
Varnamtown, North Carolina, is a fantastic location to introduce someone to the joys of panfishing, particularly for Bluegill. The freshwater creeks and backwaters connected to the Shallotte River are teeming with these feisty fish. What makes this area special is the relatively easy access and consistent action throughout much of the year. Spring and summer are peak seasons, with the fish bedding in shallow, protected areas. A simple setup of a cane pole, light line, and a small hook baited with worms or crickets is all you need. You'll find plenty of bluegill around docks, fallen trees, and weed beds. The Shallotte River Swamp Park offers good bank fishing access, and there are several small boat ramps in the area if you prefer to get out on the water. Tip: Early morning and late afternoon are typically the most productive times. Be sure to bring insect repellent, especially during the warmer months, as the mosquitos can be quite active.
