These panfish are abundant and readily accessible, making them a great target for anglers of all ages and skill levels. The best time to fish for bluegill is from late spring through summer, when they are spawning and actively feeding in the shallows. Look for them around weed beds, docks, and submerged structure. A local's secret is to use small jigs tipped with waxworms or mealworms under a bobber, especially in areas with submerged vegetation.
