Using Humminbird Side Imaging to target summertime bluegills
Summer bluegills, especially the hand-sized (or larger!) bulls prized by panfish anglers, can be quite elusive during the heat of the summer. While finding these fish during their early summer rush to the shallows to spawn is easy, following these fish through the rest of the season represents a significant challenge. Conventional wisdom indicates that, on most bodies of water across the Northland, big summer bulls will suspend off the deep weedline, transitioning towards the weeds to feed or feasting on open water forage (primarily small minnows and bugs). However, under certain conditions, big summer bulls can be found right where they were during the spawn....in a foot or two of water, just off the shoreline! Here's a new article that describes the ways that I use Humminbird Side Imaging to find productive shoreline areas for big summertime bluegills:
