I like fishing for gills when the water heats up, and the fish go deep. You can catch them when they are in 5-6 fow, but usually the fish are concentrated, and will run laterally when they hit the bait, and tangle your lines. In deeper water, they tend to disperse, and suspend, and dive when they hit the bait. It is a lot of fun, and easy to learn. Most folks that see me spider rigging assume I am crappie fishing. They are surprised to find I am on the hunt for bluegill. They also give me an odd look when they see me in the middle of the lake in 40 fow catching bluegill.
