Gills Shallow

Warming air temperatures and plenty of sun, this has warmed the shallows and moved the Bluegills into their spawning phase. If you cruise the shorelines and look for cleared bowl shaped nests in the sand, you have found where these fish are spawning.

These fish are very protective of their nests and catching them isn’t all that difficult. Using a float and a Clam Outdoors Drop Kick jig with a Maki Mino XL plastic combination, this can make for a fun afternoon of catching these fish.

After the catch, always return these fish back to the waters to ensure that they carry on their gene pool and offer another day to another angler. This time of year, is a great opportunity at getting kids involved in fishing and there will be plenty of catching action for them.
