Bluegills

[MJBaldwin]

When searching on my navionics app and other online resources what should I be looking for in order to catch some gills? Depth? How does one know if weeds are there or not? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I read on here one time about a few vooks and movies one could watch does anyone Know the names of those by chance just looking to try and get some action

Thanks

My approach would be to look on your map and find a drop off close to a bay, a point that drops off or a inside corner. the closer to shallow weads the better. If you fish in the summer you can see this and remember. It seems that gills are either in the weeds or in the sticky basin. This time of year I fish the deep basin off these structures. You can confirm the soft bottoms with a 1/4 once jig or your depth weight dropped to the bottom. Drop it down and when you pull it up it will stick for a bit like it is in mud. thats what you want. Most times if you drill some holes from shallow to deep you can check it all.

Trev has some great advice! If you can find a big mid lake flat, or any sort of weedy shallower flat, something that tops out at about 8-10 feet you shouldn't have any problems searching the edges and finding fish.

This time of year they don't be afraid to search a little deeper off of those drops, sometimes they hold out over that deeper water depending on the weather situation. Other times don't be scared to go right into those shallow weeds and jig.

This might not help you but I usually had a big swimming rappala with heavy line rigged up and when I'd go scouting around I'd sink it to bottom to see what kind of weeds I could snag. I used the swimming ones to try and catch stuff around the hole.
