Thread: best places to find big bluegill?

One of the best places to find big bluegills I think would be right behind Eagle1's house

I live in Michigan so it might be different but the big bluegills are usually hiding in fallen trees in the water, especially when it's hot outside. Hope this helps Tight lines

This is a great thread with a ton of quality information in it. In my opinion a lot of finding Bream depends on the time of day that you are fishing. To me their peak activity is two hours before sunrise and then two hours just before sunset. I look for weedbeds, timber, weeds and boat docks. The shade of an overhanging tree will always have fish on it. If you can find shade and a lake point sticking out in about seven foot of water it can be very productive. I will use a slip float most of the time or else I will use a dropshot.

My lure of choice for 'Gills and Shellcracker is a teardrop lure I make and then tip it with a nice juicy waxworm.
