Sante Cooper is by far the best in the Southeast.

I have fished em all.

You can't beat a Southern farm pond (3 - 20 acres) for numbers and size of bluegill. The big name reservoirs can't compete in either category if the pond is fertilized and the fish are fed. Just can't be beat. Warm climate, long growing season, good water quality (without livestock), and good nutrition.

I've never seen a public reservoir beat a good farm pond for bluegill. Ponds/lakes in the 3-20 acre range are the best and most prodictive to manage, and you can really get the numbers and sizes up if you fertilize it and feed the fish every day...all they will eat.
