Thread: best places to find big bluegill?

I have multiple things to use for it as bait. I'll tie it up at the dock I'll launch from and check it when I get back. Now I just need to figure out a date when my aunt will be heading to the lake.

I fish often for bluegill and without a doubt the really big ones prefer to be in the vicinity of the kind of plants that grow in the water straight up and down, like reeds. And if you can find them adjacent to deep water you have a possible goldmine for larger gills, as they can escape predators by swimming into the reeds or going to deep water. If your lake doesn't have these type of plants look for thick weedlines near deep water, or around docks that are near deep water. I fish for big bluegills with the smaller size Mepps spinners, and any spinner that has some red on it seems to be preferred. Green is also a great color for big bluegills. Also use the lightest line you can get away with, often I use 2lb test.
