Next time you go bluegill fishing try these fishing tips to catch more big bluegill.
bluegill fishing with bobbers and worms is a simple technique but can be very effective for catching big bluegills in 2019.
The video says 2019. Does this still work in the new update? 😂
😂
I'm pretty sure they still spawn in shallow water
I think the new winter patch changed it lol
Leaches work the best in 2021
still works, they haven’t patched it
Bluegill are something special and very underrated. They were some of the first fish that I caught as a kid and I still enjoy fishing them today as an adult. Whether you catch them casting from the shore, casting from a boat and putting your line in the water right next to the boat, there's always that bit of excitement seeing that bobber sink and setting the line to hook a monster bluegill. Much respect by letting the over-sized ones go. That helps to keep the population strong and ensures fishing for these fish for years to come :)
Not to mention they’re also tasty table fare. Love some fried gills!
@Naseeb Fahahrim
Yea they are (except my first fish was a white bass). I hate it when people say that bluegill are just these stupid little fish that bite anything and steal your bait.
@@cameronkedas3334 to the people that say they steal my bait, i say use a smaller hook lol.
I know! It’s like shooting does in deer season. There’s no easier species to catch or clean if you want meat in the freezer. Limits are high and worms are cheap.
Four pound mono, small split shot, thumb sized bobber, number six eagle claw hook, and a red worm. Great video, Thank You.
Exactly what I use. Catches some good blue gill.
He said he didn't even use a split shot
@@zachkuss5911 his hook has a head on it.
Bluegill are probably the most underrated freshwater fish in North America. People think that because they are smaller, they are a trashy bait fish.
They are a blast to fish for! If you can get some nice sized Bluegill they fight like hell! They're easy to catch, and are great eating!!!!!
@stonewall Jackson
That is true. Bluegill are fun fish to catch when you’re not catching anything all day or to start your day but I’d rather catch bigger fish like bass, trout, and salmon
I have a 3 acre pond and I mostly catch bluegill.
They are amazingly delicious 😋
I use mostly a 1/16oz rooster tail
Everybody I know is to proud to go bluegill fishing. They say it’s for kids. Drives me insane because I prefer to catch bluegill for the fun and to eat. Guys fish all day over a bass but I like to reel in bluegill one after another lol. I get bored real quick trying to catch bass.
Bluegill to big to keep?? Wtf lol 😂
maybe a female? release for more catch next year
Generally the bigger the fish is, the less appealing its meat will be, as well as better breeding fish for sustaining the population. It may be more fun or impressive to land a big fish, but I would take a plate of fillets cut from little guys over big ones any day.
Ya, I only keep gills that are 5” or less. Anything bigger needs to go back immediately and as gently as possible. I like to eat the smaller ones raw and whole. I like the way they pop when I bite into them. I can count to fire trucks 🚒
@@2cthetruth hahahahahahahaha this made my day!
Bluegill fight great for their size
My paw paw always loved the small ones. Scale em back with a spoon, gut em, shake in a ziploc with some fish fry, throw in some hot oil. Ketchup optional. Sure do miss my paw paw.
Sorry for your loss, but those small ones sure are tasty lol. Always feel bad for killing them though
My grandpa loved the real small ones t,he fried them crispy and ate ribs and all except backbone
1:35 that's what she said.
Lol
Is this Michael Scott?
I love fishing I’m 12 and I just started I can’t stop thinking about the next time I’m going
Nice man! keep at it! you sound like me when I was 12.
That's called the fever! Have fun
Atta boi!!!!
I’m 12 too, and I bass fish more, but I just watched this vid for the heck of it.
@@greensphinx thanks for watching
U definitely sound mid western. Great helpful video 👍
And keep up the good work the more work you put up the more your channel grows
thanks man! am going to try!!
Those are some slabs there bro! Would make great fish tacos!
good call, I love fish tacos!
Fish tacos are amazing 🤤
@customvideo454 agree, I use the lesser fish for tacos. White bass, rock bass, etc. Gills and Crappie get breaded and fried!
Gills are easily my favorite fish to catch. Super underrated!!!! Especially if you put yourself on the monsters.
agreed! it is very rewarding when you get some real big ones! its tough in my neck of the woods, but I was able to find some this week!
@@dominatefishing9641 what state are you in
Those are some great fun...great eating. Those were beautiful
yea, its great when you get on a big gill bite... its hard to do, but fun when it happens!
Love fishing for them gills. Great video my friend.
thanks Jobuck66!
SHUT THE FUC!!
Bradly Zamudio your rude
Nice gills, way to respect the bulls. If you want a trophy lake let the big males go.
right on man! thanks!
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!! GREAT VID MY DUDE
Thanks!
Also dominate fishing make sure you try the crappie nibbles
I will, thanks for the suggestion!
So cool..thanks guys !!!
I use 10 pound line for Bluegill, couple years back I had a 1 pound Bluegill break my 6 pound line, luckily I managed to scoop the fish up before it got away.
With drag set rite you can catch them on 2 lb line brother
@@tylerabel4631 Yup. World record freshwater drum was caught a few miles away from my house on 10lb line.
@@eh1918 that's wild
U guys sure got on them fast!
Me and the sun are going to tonight on the 12 footer Real fun stuff man enjoy the content

_Incredible Fishing with beautiful Fish Congratulations Fisherman!_
*Hug!!!* 👍🎣🐠🐟😊
cach a flying Fish
Real nice Gills
thanks man!
2:38 is when the vid actually starts
If you wanna miss all the important information about the rig.....
I use the same Trion reel...works very well.
Right on
Well theres some in nc Kernersville lake I know cause I caught one and it was my first ever fish I caught
PepsiZM blue gill can be literally any lake and river
Here in north fl we catch em all day every day monster slabs. Up to 2 pound's
Excellent fishing when catching bluegill shellcrakers use four pound test you’ll hook big bass too ultralight rod.. jig’s nothing better as far as I’m concerned.. oh and crappies
Any baits on those jigs? or just plain?
Good video friend
thanks man!
ours so big have to hold against chest to get hook out
Nice work! What were you putting on the hooks for bait on the jigs? Thanks!
thanks! night crawlers, just a small piece.
do you have to put a worm in those hooks ????
Drink, every time he says “bluegill”
Is that what kind of fish they are? I missed what type it was when he said it 7,000 times.
The way he sound I think he did the same thing...lmao
Where do get those jig heads??. I'm having a hard time finding those 1/64 live bait jigeads. I used to buy them in bulk at cabelas years ago.
I think you can still get them at cabelas...
Is bluegill size a product of the fishery? Seems like I only see small ones caught on the lake here (15k acre lake)
yes! fishing pressure is also a factor.
What kind of bait are you using thanks
I need a video on how to catch them. Seems to have small ones where I fish and I cannot get them hooked before they steal my worm. I am using a small bobber. Sometimes the bobber barely moves. Help?
use a small chunk of worm, or make sure once you hook the worm you dont have ends sticking out very far where the fish can get the worm and not the hook. you kinda want to ball the worm up on your hook so when the bluegill bites he gets the hook.
Fishing a little deeper water that usually helps
Thank you for the tips in the video what did you put on your end of the Jig? Is there a piece of worm ?
yes, a little piece of night crawler.
would you say a bluegill/sunfish is the easiest fish to catch?
Just about. The larger ones are harder to find.
damn I haven't caught a fish since I was like 7 (im 18 atm) I try every year and its just no luck. But good luck to everyone's fishing trips in the years ahead!
You should put some bread on a hook. Don’t smoosh it on or it’ll sink. Then cast it as far as you can go using only a hook and bread, no weights or bobbers.
Then thrown some small pieces of bread right next to your hook. Make sure to splash when you throw the bread in. And be careful with the bread on your hook, it can come off very easily.
I caught 7 in 20 minutes with this method today.
Hope this helps!
I just use a 1/64 oz jig and fish the bank. I catch bluegill and bass doing that. Then I fillet them and use them for catfish bait.
Eat them they are fantastic
@@bka8851 they're more valuable as bait.
nice , what you think , in what depth they are now , in this time of year?
where do you live? where I am winter seems to be coming early and its cold so the big gills are moving deep im sure. when it gets cold the big gills move deep.
@@dominatefishing9641 I live in LA , most of time I fish at ponds and lakes , it's not getting very cold here , but still , they harder to catch now than in a summer time.
I'm new to fishing: Question: do you put a bait on that hook or just use it as is?
put a bait on it, I was using night crawlers.
Do you cast it and let us sit
Or cast and retrieve
What lake are you fishing?
Are you putting worms on the jig??
What rod and reel are you using
A 14-foot piece of bamboo with a 14-foot line, and a smashed snail taken off a cattail for bait was all I needed to catch a few for my grandma back in 1950??
Was the worm put directly to the jig?
Where is this I’m new to fishing and would like to know some good places and some good techniques! Thanks 👍
JayDaKing 23 welcome to the world of fishing I’m not an expert but you could go to any body of water and catch fish I would recommend having a smaller bobber rod and a heavier rod for trout,bass and you know just go on google to find good fishing spots you should also just jump around random ponds Till you find the perfect one good luck 🍀
I live in Wisconsin, but the same technique works everywhere.
Karma hey bro sorry I never replied I found some spots here where I live it’s been fun still learning on types of bait and stuff thanks for the great advice
What size jig head are you using
What bait are you using
I only catch these on meal/wax worms. No luck with nightcrawlers
i caught 4 bluegill in 10 minutes with canadian night crawlers
Come down to Alabama you can catch some that’s big as bass
haha I hear there are some real pigs down there... you ever get one over 2lbs?
2022 Gillys arw hitting better! We got 40 fattys we got to pick and chose a few weeks ago. There bedding earlier and earlier
Not trying to be condescending, but is there a reason why you cast a spinning rod that way? Has noone ever taught you the correct way to cast one? Just curious?
how do you cast one?
Don't bluegills move to deeper Waters in September?
yes the do on a lot of lakes
@@dominatefishing9641 for me, my pond the big ones are on the bank still not monsters but good eating sizes
Plastic worm on jig or nightcrawler?
What lake is this you're on? Slabcity
R you just using a bobber and a jig head no worm ?
What kinda reel is that?
Early summer like June ?
Which jig head and what size?
What bait was he using
What lake was it?
What kind of bait ?
I catch the same fish, same size as you guys did.
Where did you go?
Those are nice. But if they don't have the alien head, then they aren't quite there yet.
Does this work in 2021?
wow
If the bass or trout don't bite at my local lake I just sight fish the little ones
My backyard pond has Sooo many bluegills
What lake are you at??
What lake were you guys on?
Hahahahahahahahahhahaa
Idk but there also in nc Kernersville lake cause I caught one
Yes
Lil ol' Tanks
Good eats
In Louisiana we call them brim 😂 my favorite to catch and eat 🤪
they are good!
I used to catch nice ones at Lake Providence in late April to the end of May.
Also, in Louisiana and Mississippi, we call them titty brim.
I grew up in Ga., we called them "brim" there as well.
Bluegill is brim wich are under the species sunfish theres differnt types of sunfish
Cant seem to catch large bluegill on jig/hook with worm and a bobber, i always catch small ones. I try some artificial plastics and stuff and than i catch nothing.
yea, that can happen... sometimes you really have to sort through them. one of the biggest keys is to be on a lake and on a spot that has big bluegill. a lot of lakes just dont have big bluegill in them.
If you can find some try crickets from the bait store it works every time
@@bka8851 alright, i will try that!
11+ inch bluegill in georgia are big
I watched this cause I came back from catching a blue Gill today
No split shot?
What is that right there?
I'm lost on why you threw the big perch back
I like to let the big bull's go to keep the size structure in the lake.
wait.. what is used for the bait??
night crawler
Does this technique work in 2021?
yep!
So? Your not using any bait? Just that hook?
hook and night crawler...
Bluegill certified
What are you using? Worm???
yes, I was using a little chunk of night crawler.
this is making me hungry.
idf it helps, Ill tell you they were delicious!
Richard Gere goes fishing.
haha, I heard he looks like me :)
What are you fishing with
night crawler...
worms
I’ve had some luck with spinners
nice man! which ones?
Do u think that really. We're I'm from in Illinois in New Athens I fished strip my lakes. Bluegill make your eyes pop out. Beautiful clear water u see everything. Catch thing big all day long they also have huge large mouth bass.
You guys have a fishing licence 😆 😅😂 they start stocking bass the gill n perch get smaller and limited .
Never heard that a bluegill is too big keep put em in my cooler then lol
