Bobber Fishing Spring Bluegill From the Bank

If you're into bank fishing, spring is the best time of the year to catch panfish like bluegills and crappies as they penetrate the shallows. No different than bass, panfish feed heavily during the prespawn period in preparation for the spawn and load up in predictable shallow water spots. Kyle Peterson explains where to find the first push of shallow fish and how to catch them using a small slip float (slip bobber) and jig.

As Kyle notes, finding panfish is closely tied to locating the warmest water. Protected pockets, channels and bays are usually the first to warm, especially if they have dark bottoms and an abundance of cover. When it comes to catching, it's tough to beat a little jig and plastic/live bait suspended below a bobber. Peterson explains why he prefers using a slip bobber and small tungsten jig (without split shot) when bank fishing in tight quarters and around cover. He also discusses how a longer rod equipped with braided line aids in casting distance, accuracy and horsing the fish away from cover.

Bluegill fishing is underrated.

[@theflannelfisherman8329]

Mighty Turtle trout mini magnets with 4lb test on a wet noodle of a fiberglass ultralight. Makes catching anything fun

[@Wired2Fish]

We love any and everything panfish, especially big gills!

[@matthewbooth669]

Ain't much for eatin but use em as bait for big flathead cats

[@jaxxonfishroom]

Agreed

[@garrettkestle5824]

i pretty much only fish for bluegill/panfish/sunfish. so i love watching this video

[@jaxxonfishroom]

Same here

[@nauticalnavigator3688]

I personally believe bass are so accustomed to the common lure that sometimes its best to use a micro jig off a bobber

[@heemanchalmaharaj6709]

Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats kzbin.infoUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU recommend they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.

Bluegills (Bream or “Brim” down South, or “Kibbies” in New England, are delicious eating fish!

[@cosmiconni6321]

Humble fishing at it's finest

[@GPTInDaHouse]

Been catching them a ton, smaller gills I use for flathead bait and bigger ones my 5 year old brother demands to eat 😂

[@enderlynxwilloze7935]

Nice fish

[@WyomingOutofDoors]

Good video friend

[@Wired2Fish]

Thanks for the visit. Who doesn't like a good bluegill bite!

[@haroldcale4767]

I like all bank fishing v's no boat no kayak FISN ON.

[@rodericknelson8371]

Hello! I was checking out your video, and it was great! Is that bobber size a large (3/4) or a XL (7/8) ? It looks like a XL from the video.

[@Jigger2361]

7/8

[@GoldeneagleoutdoorsGEO]

Loved the video! Look forward to your next one! I make fishing related videos also. What you do on your videos gives me some ideas what I can do on my channel, thanks for the inspiration!

[@Wired2Fish]

Awesome, good luck to you in your content creation endeavours Golden Eagle Outdoors!

[@firefighterpops]

Great video! What is your setup? Hook/jig size? What pound test and type of line? What size slip bobber? Thank you.

[@Wired2Fish]

There are product links in the video description. Check it out!

[@firefighterpops]

Is that a ML Medium Light fast action rod?

[@ColdHawk]

I guess one man’s “little” bass is another man’s medium bass… if you know what I mean.

[@jonathanvandehey2111]

What bait do you use

[@user-ux7bi1ih9t]

Today I caught a 12 inch bluegill

[@jaxxonfishroom]

Nice

[@garrettkestle5824]

whenever i fish for bluegill i use a 6ft medium light rod

[@ryanb.9558]

What size bobber were you using?

[@Wired2Fish]

Thanks for watching Ryan. Not 100% on the bobber size but think it's the 5/8-inch weighed Thill. Product links in the description. Thanks for watching - Kyle

[@johnniemeadors1833]

Just a question how do go about using a bobber and not having it float out to the bank all the dang time

[@reeldrytv]

If you don’t get a bite in 30 seconds recast to a new spot

[@Jefff72]

Where are you fishing?

[@Wired2Fish]

Should have changed the title too how to catch bass with bug baits from the bank.

[@Wired2Fish]

Well, we did score a few bass but even more bluegills, which was the target species.

[@jayfroman3257]

I can't stand watching people return panfish to the water. Too many panfish in a lake or pond puts pressure on the food supply and all the fish in the lake suffer from that. Take them home and eat them or use them for fertilizer.

[@ethanb7035]

Do you mean on stunted lakes or every lake?
