[#0000FF]I catch a few bluegills by accident, while casting jigs for other species. But if you really want to focus on bluegills, green sunfish and crappies then fishing inside the harbors is usually the best bet. USUALLY. This is a low water year and some of the places they usually hang out are shallower than they like. So you have to prospect a bit to find them.
Best tactic is a piece of worm...by itself or tipping a small jig...under a bobber. Fish a couple of feet of line under the bobber in water from 2 to 4 feet deep. Some harbor only have about 3 feet in most areas right now.
Sunfish also like to hang out around docks and near stickups or structure...like rocks.
If you are a fly fisherman, get down there early in the morning when the fish are up feeding on midges that have died and fallen in the water overnight. But be prepared for a battle if you hook one of the big carp that are doing the same thing.
