  • How do I catch so many bluegill? Today I'll go over bluegill fishing tips including where and why. Everyone wants to catch something every time they go fishing. Even fishing for bluegill can be tricky if you don't know what to look for. Sometimes fishing spots may seem similar, but the fish are only biting at one of them. Why is that? Learn how to spot what might attract fish to one location over another and increase your chances of catching more fish. I hope these fishing tips help you catch a few more next time you go.

    Location is more important then bait always. Gotta be where the fish are at to get a hook near em. Awesome video keep it up!

    What a great fishing day. Not too cold, not too hot, beautiful 'Simpson's' sky, and sizable fish on the bite.
    One successful day I'd say.

    When you got stabbed by the fin spines it reminded me of a short conversation I had. A lady asked if I would want a hook in my mouth and I told her it wasn't a fair comparison. If we ate stuff like nails and broken glass, our mouth wouldn't feel the same. Fish eat crustaceans, other fish and if they felt pain like we would if hooked, they'd starve.

    It's been said, "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work". However, it's always nice to catch something. Catching bluegill, on a fly rod, or an ultra-light with a bubble, is a blast. And, yes, good cover/habitat makes all the difference.

  • @lisatwitchell403

    I like the fish to be feisty and defiant but I like it even better when they're aggressive and in the fighting mood. I'd rather fight a fish all the way to the boat and lose it than catch a fish that hardly fights and gets boated really easily. The easy fish aren't that exciting. This time of year the largemouth bass often act like smallmouth bass, when they're hooked. It's a lot of fun trying to keep the hook in them, when they keep busting up out of the water and shaking their heads. Tight lines and rod tips up. 😉🎣🤠
