Seasonal Activity Chart
Bluegill
For consistent Bluegill action, the Ivor, Virginia area delivers. Numerous small ponds and slow-moving creeks, often tributaries of the Blackwater River, teem with these panfish. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are exceptionally productive. Look for Bluegill beds in shallow, protected areas with sandy or gravel bottoms. A simple worm and bobber rig is hard to beat, but small jigs and insect imitations can also be deadly. A local's secret: many of the farm ponds in the area hold surprisingly large Bluegill. While gaining access requires permission, it's often worth the effort to ask. Remember to practice catch and release on the bigger specimens to help maintain the quality of the fishery. These Bluegill are often found near submerged structure, so target fallen trees and brush piles.
