Summer is a great time to target big bluegill and crappie, as they tend to be more active and can be found in shallow waters. However, finding and catching these fish requires some knowledge of their habits and habitats, as well as the right gear and techniques. In this blog, we'll go over some tips for finding and catching big bluegill and crappie in summer.
Look for structure
Big bluegill and crappie like to hang out around structure, such as logs, stumps, and weed beds. Look for areas with lots of cover and drop-offs where these fish can hide and ambush their prey. Pay attention to the depth of the water as well, as bluegill and crappie tend to prefer shallower waters in summer.
Use the right gear
To catch big bluegill and crappie, you'll need the right gear. A light to medium-light rod and reel combo with four to six-pound test line should be sufficient. You can use a small jig or baited hook with a piece of worm or crappie nibble for bait. A slip bobber can also be effective for keeping your bait at the right depth.
Try different depths
Bluegill and crappie can be found at different depths depending on the time of day and the water temperature. In the morning and evening, they may be closer to the surface, while during the day they may be deeper. Experiment with different depths until you find where the fish are biting.
Use the right technique
Bluegill and crappie can be finicky eaters, so it's important to use the right technique to entice them to bite. A slow, steady retrieve with occasional pauses can be effective, as can a quick twitch or jigging motion. Pay attention to the movement of your bait and adjust your technique accordingly.
Be patient
Fishing for big bluegill and crappie in summer can require some patience. It may take some time to find the right spot and the right technique, so don't give up if you don't catch anything right away. Remember to enjoy the experience of being out on the water and appreciate the natural beauty around you.
In conclusion, finding and catching big bluegill and crappie in summer requires a combination of knowledge, gear, and technique. By looking for structure, using the right gear and bait, trying different depths, using the right technique, and being patient, you can increase your chances of landing these popular game fish. So grab your rod and reel, head out to your favorite lake or pond, and enjoy the thrill of the catch!
