USING BLUEGILL TO FIND BASS - ZONA SHOW DIRT Episode #20

In this episode of ZSD I talk about the connection between bluegill and bass. I grew up studying and learning to pay attention to where the pan fishermen are fishing. If you find the bluegill that is where the giant bass will be congregating.

[@mikegreen3628]

You are the ABSOLUTE funniest guy to watch on KZbin. I love watching you catch fish. I have re-watched the “Lake Menderchuck/ KVD video a hundred times. I am semi- new to bass fishing after retiring from a 32 year career as a stand up comedian so I like to think I know funny. Thanks for this tip I’ll be putting it into use immediately. Sorry to go all fan boy but that Jordan Lee Sturgeon video is legendary too.

[@MarkZonaFishing]

Wow, thanks Mike!

[@guswalk950]

Z great stuff brother!! The wife and I where fishing a lake in central Michigan and we noticed the bass had the bluegills right up to the surface in 20ft of water. Man we were hammering them. 🎣🎣

[@MarkZonaFishing]

That is awesome!

[@Mrambo26]

Awesome content Z. Love it.

[@softaildiaries]

Dirtiest dirt Z! My little lake is full of pads and grass. You can here gills popping on the surface. Gonna have to fish those areas harder.

[@antwansneed9051]

Good information bro because all of my lakes that I fish have blue gills or crappies as the forage bait in them and some perch depending on the location of the lake

[@fishingwithgoby1998]

Always checking for the gills!!!

Show me the "DIRT" great insights on everything I'm going to try. Great job

[@eursing2724]

Z can you do a show dirt on the importance of the "shark knot" you tie? That knot has made huge difference for me, especially when drop shot fishing.

[@keithmason6120]

I fish a lake near my house that gets so choked with grass must folks hate it but man it produces. I fish a blue gill 1/4 oz hack attack swim jig pre spawn and a 3/8 post spawn and it’s lights out love the dirt🤟🏻

[@jbirdfishes]

bluegill are the main forage here so ive learned to find them as well. also ive noticed if the bluegill tend to be more dispersed, relaxed and cruising along doing their thing, i feel like the predators arent that nearby. youll see them packed up more when they are threatened. thats where you want to fish

[@danielmcpeak3355]

Hey Zona, I watch for schools of 2 inch or 4 inch bluegills working the top of the water and those bass follow right under them! Oh man throw a walking bait and hold on big daddy!

What's your attack on a lake that was recently sprayed for weeds. It was sprayed Friday.

[@C.Adams82]

[@bigredbass7898]

Great stuff as always. How close are you fishing to these pan fishermen? Seems like they might tell the average guy to take a flying leap for being by their spot lol.

[@ericwm1]

Bluegill Wolfpack!!! BWO!!! Bass world order!!!!!! Go BEARS!!!

[@MarkZonaFishing]

GO BEARS!

[@billyallmon5039]

I use turtles they follow the bass around feeding on the injured minnows

[@jenslund4509]

I think I might know what lake this is. I want sure until I saw the patches of cattails in the distance…

[@Wired2Fish]

Good stuff buddy!

[@pauladriano8300]

what if in Canada where we have no bluegill ? most lakes where I'm from have lots of rock bass and perch, no shad or blugill, what do you do to get the big wolf's then ?

[@alexrey3466]

Hey mark zona , have you ever fished with a lizard soft plastic power bait?
