Where are you and are the Bluegill still spawning?
Panfish Fishing
Still Spawning?
Just spent a week in vilas county, water temps, depending on lake and weather conditions, started out at 66 degrees, and by yesterday, 6-27 pretty much 72 to 74. Gills were in various depths, some spawning in 2 ft., others were found in 8 to 12 feet, above the cabbage. And even the deeper gills were nice sized, but some spawned out, some were not. Interesting. Had to move more to get a fish fry of better fish put together. Crappie bite was tough for me, just one or two a day while fishing for gills. LM bass were aggressive on artificials, I release them all, but still fun.
I fished one of the Madison chain lakes last week Sunday. Water temp was 76 and of the 21 bluegills I caught that day 19 of them were females and still full of eggs. They definitely spawn at different times and at different depths. I've caught them in as deep as 12 feet of water while they were spawning. This is especially true on deeper, hard pressured bodies of water.
