I fish for bluegills all year round...soft and hardwater. Submerged points, weed lines, humps, deadfalls, brush piles, etc. They're pretty easy to find and interesting fish to pattern. 90% of the time I have a jig and large live bait (3-4 waxies or 2-4" of redworm) under a slip float on open water. Through the ice is usually a jigging spoon or tungsten jig tightlined.
