Panfish like bluegill, crappie, and perch are fun to target and catch. When you get into a school of bluegill you can get into a burst of action cast after cast. They can grow to lengths over twelve inches long, and to a weight of over four pounds. Bluegill like slow moving sections of water in creeks and streams, and shallow areas on lakes. They typically school together with other panfish in groups of ten or more. They bite just about anything you throw at them, and are fun to catch. Small worms, crickets, and grasshoppers (live or fake) work great. The most important thing to keep in mind is that they typically have small mouths, so it is important to have smaller baits with smaller hooks. You can also use small jigs and small plastics to entice them to bite. If you know they are there and you aren’t getting any fish biting, slow it down. They don’t typically chase anything for their next meal, reel slowly, let your lure drop and reel, and you are sure to get hooked into some great bluegill fishing action!
How to Catch Panfish
When targeting panfish such as crappie, bluegill, and perch, it’s important to reel slow with small baits, small lures, like jigs, flies, and small spinners like a beetle spin. More often than not they will be schooled up, and when you locate them, as long as you are throwing out the rights baits and lures, you are in for hours of enjoyment and a great fresh meal when you get home!
