When is the Best Time to Go Fishing? How to Catch Big Bluegill (Spring)

[@TJWilson]

Double giant bluegills. What a difference a couple of hours and a few degrees of warmth can make. Awesome afternoon. Love this episode.

[@RealisticFishing]

Made a big difference! 👍

[@TrevorShadden22]

Anytime you can make the time is a good time in my opinion! 👌

[@RealisticFishing]

This video is advice for when you want to catch something 😉

[@trentonhansen8333]

Awesome video! Loved seeing those bites right off the dock.

[@RealisticFishing]

Me too! Just like when I was a kid 👍

[@americafirst7794]

I'm out in the shop working and seeing that you had a video I stopped working and sitting down and watching your video cuz you keep it realistic I did good crappie fishing the other day and I kept it realistic keep up the good work man

[@ghayes2135]

That was fun to watch you bring in those big boy bluegill’s!

[@tonymcbroom5252]

One more fish... That was a nice evening of fishing and several of those "gills" were fit for the dinner plate! Love the content as always and come on Alex, one more video.... Keep it realistic my friend!

[@FishingForTitans]

Afternoon, got it! Excellent use of the thermometer! Thank you Alex!

Your fishing is amazing, Congratulations you are a very successful fisherman! God bless you always! hug!!!👍🎣😊

[@jk_wrangler13]

It's always exciting catching one while holding another one. Looks like a great evening.

[@johndeno1071]

Nice a great to see you went back later in the day with much better success. Those fish just can't wait to be on the show...LOL

[@michaelbond142]

Nice day gill fishing

[@LowBrowFishing]

You doubled up...with yourself. I don't think I've ever seen that before. That's just neat.

[@nashguy207]

Way to go Alex. Gulp Minnow for the win Again. But I think you can catch fish with almost any bait at the right time. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@RealisticFishing]

You can not catch a fish on a bait that wont fit in its mouth. So there's that

[@bdfishing861]

Beautiful fish! I'm gonna grab my ultralight and start some bluegill fishing after watching this!

[@lsmftwitchell1939]

I don't have a place like that for bluegill but do have one like that for crappie that's active for about 4 weeks here every spring. Terribly disappointed that I am not well enough to get out to it this spring. Hope to be healthy by mid to late summer. Great watching you fish. It's the next best thing. Thanks Alex. 😊 🎣🚣‍♀️👵🤠🙃

[@Yachanan144]

I hope you get well soon

[@HypochondriacStudios]

That was hilarious when you caught a bluegill while looking at another bluegill

[@RealisticFishing]

It was awesome! 😃

[@johnguerrero1373]

I've been spam watching your content for a while now, absolutely fantastic stuff! Something about knowing someone is going through the same struggles makes it a little easier to keep heading out. I appreciate all the pan fishing as my buddy and I have a specific lake we hit just for pan fish during the summer, maybe we'll try some spring fishing now :) Keep it realistic!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching John. KIR 👍

[@jpgtr84]

Daaanng doubling up right at the edge of the dock, that was awesome!

[@TackleBoxMike]

I'm pumped to try some bluegill fishing from watching your video, I can't wait for the ice to leave the lakes where I'm at in MN. Thanks super awesome 😎

[@petersimpier7581]

Love those big bluegills 👍🏻

[@duanetaylor1526]

Nice Double up while showing off the first one. That bait just keeps on catching them. Yor story of being 8 years old fishing right off the dock reminded me of fishing with my grandpa when I was 8-10 years old. 1 foot off the dock catching small pan fish. Thanks for the drive down memory lane. Love the channel. Thank you Alex! KiR!!!

[@cartoonslideshow6417]

A lot of people new to fishing(myself included) make the mistake of casting too far away when the fish are right in front of you and tucked up close to the bank.

[@RealisticFishing]

I have tried to explain this to new fishermen for years. 👍

[@randyblevins9489]

Just one more ! Every fisherman's motto ! Looked like evening worked out better than morning ! Glad you had a good day, Alex ! Keeping It Realistic ! Randy B.

[@rcaron4572]

I was down in Iowa fishing with a 2 of 10 confidence level and using a similar float rig. Got a one pound bass! First fish of the season. You're inspiring! KIR-istic!

[@busteroaks402]

We’ve had the honour of seeing a bunch of nice sized bluegill over the last couple videos! Thanks, Alex, KIR!

[@hagglakefishing]

Those were some jumbo bluegill. Pretty freaking awesome!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

👍👍

[@ThePittEngineer]

Seriously I am binging your channel to catch up after a month hiatus from my son being born and your blue gill sizes so far have been INSANE!

[@CasualGirlAdventures]

Nice bluegill you caught there. wow! I am amazed that the evening is better fishing in your area. funny how you got that while checking out another one. love it. have a great day. one more is never just one. lol.

[@christophermetz1550]

People always underestimate how much fun bluegill fishing can be when you focus on the bigger game fish all the time. Great info and lots of fun

[@tomfisher2103]

Really nice fish brother! Skeletor Park for the win. Looks like you found a good school of them stacked up. Sweet!

[@rickbursell7204]

👍for tanker gills

[@jeremy_yela]

Wow great day of fishing! Hope the water gets warmer up in New Jersey!

[@lucasjedwards]

I've always heard that the best time to go fishing is whenever you have the chance!

[@RealisticFishing]

Not always the best time to catch fish though...

[@TheVideosILike1]

Another great day catching bluegill. Excited that your area fishing seems to be warming up. Keep It Realistic Alex and I look forward to another show soon. Thank you.

[@bradbradley353]

Nice outing. I was able to get a few bass Sunday afternoon even in windy conditions. Was a little warmer then the morning…great job. Love those big bluegill. Never get tired of catching those

[@dnacash]

Amazing the difference with just a few degrees warmer!

[@fishlovme]

Yup, that 60ish degree water temp is always key! Nice job!

[@haroldfields5189]

Wow, what a difference a few hrs can make.

[@brooksmeyers1237]

Lots of biguns! Nicely done!

[@WoodboogerFishing]

That double bluegill catch was fun. Congrats on a great day, sir!

[@thomasyates4302]

That was a lot of fun. One of my favorite videos.

[@subieracer005]

Hogs and Chonks! Can't wait for spring! 1st day of the year over 60 in Oregon...

[@subieracer005]

I was joking at first but it came true! those were big ass gills

Awesome, reminds me when I was a kid! Tight Lines!

[@dannypowers2487]

Hey Alex I’m going to pick me up some Gulp Alive Minnows that’s all I need.

[@jamessheets6604]

I love to caught big Bluegill!

[@teex4]

Man your awesome and lucky. I wish I could get big bluegill like that were we go in OKC but unfortunately they are way smaller but me and my kids still have fun thank you for the videos

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Some nice bream there Alex! Way to go man!

[@joebuck66]

Now that was exciting. Those were some slabs. Great video Alex.

[@joshlewis265]

Love the videos and enjoy watching them! Great day on the water!

[@BRMCScouts]

I really need to start testing the temperature of my local pond. Maybe that's why I've had a hard time lately

[@FishingForTitans]

Fish on!!! Brotha!!! 🎣

[@Carolinafishingtales]

I haven't timed my fishing right. The weather is so up and down where I li e and the water temp. Can't wait until water temp rises and stays. Good video btw.

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Oh my! A one combo double up!

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh yeah!

[@marlojohnston4217]

Wow, Alex. Another great video!! Those were some nice tall blue gills, then to get that bite while your pole was on the dock!! It was exciting and then when you got that bite from the dock we both said oh, my!! Definitely nice to see how temperature affects the fish and I truly appreciate you sharing the findings with us!!! Thank you Alex for always keeping it realistic! 🙂

[@mikesawyer6742]

Good fishing Alex. That’s a lot of fun. Catch you soon brother

[@barrycarlisle765]

Fishing off the dock like that, you need a good old fashion cane pole. The was fun to watch.

[@RealisticFishing]

I used one when I was little

[@barrycarlisle765]

@@RealisticFishing Me too, way back in the 60's in Southern Ohio. Heck I still use one every once in a while just to keep the memory alive. It still catches fish.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Now this was a video 📹 Awesome looking bluegill!! Beautiful scenery as well 👌

[@rossbowman202]

I love a relaxing afternoon of bluegill fishing. It's getting closer Alex. KIR 👍

[@victorkaren2393]

You sure had a great day fishing!!! I need to pick up some Gulp Minnows. Never tried them before, but you proved they definitely work. Love your channel, keep the quality videos coming!!!

[@knhoriuchi]

That was a great evening of fishing!

[@robertminnis417]

Good day, or bad day. A day of fishing catching some or not is still a wonderful day. God bless buddy.

[@corkyvanvalkenburg8857]

Howdy Alex thank you for the VIDEO. Looking forward for the same here soon. Water is 43 degrees at the end of the day of 50 degree temps for a week. Keep it Realistic.

Just got back from Tennessee due to a family emergency but once everything was settled and hashed out I still made it to academy sports first time there and ever got me a H20 Legacy 7ft Rod now back in Michigan time to figure what Baitcaster to set it up on. The best part I was prepared to spend $50 plus on a H20 Rod it was a steal for $19.99.

Glad you found a good price 👍

I've had instances where I would reel in a bluegill from a dock, while my rod is down on the ground and the bait still in the water and catching another bluegill. Pretty fun lol

That's the same blue gill you used as bait a year ago That's why he has a big scar from it still
