Targeting Bluegill Spawn for Bass

July 21, 2017 by Clark Wendlandt

A great way to catch bass in the summer is targeting the bluegill spawn. The time is right when the water is warm and the moon is full or new. Fishing for blue gill is fun too. I love catching bluegill, but you can also catch big bass that are feeding on those spawning bluegill. Bluegill spawn in warm, shallow muddy-looking flat bays. My favorite way to fish the bluegill spawn is topwater, moving down the bank quickly. But if there is a lot of cover, try a swim jig. I like the Strike King Hack Attack Heavy Cover Swim Jig with a Rage Craw trailer. It runs shallow and looks a lot like a blue gill. You might move your rod a little to put inflection in the bait, but basically just reeling it in works well. If fish are not chasing topwater or swim jigs, try an Ocho rigged whacky style pitched up in shallow water. You can catch some really big fish during the bluegill spawn. covering a lot of water and using the right baits.

Let’s talk Garmin Force. Check out this video for a few reasons why I love this trolling motor.

Garmin Fish & Hunt #garminpro #fishgarmin #fishinghuntingtexas

The Garmin Force Freshwater Trolling Motor is the most powerful and most efficient motor available. It has the power you need to counter winds and currents with the efficiency to fish all day. Wireless chartplotter integration and built-in autopilot get you to fish, along with anchor lock to stay on them. Wireless foot pedal provides instant control and responsiveness - feels and steers like a cable-steered pedal.

Fishing was brutally tough so I was thankful for every bass I caught this week, but unfortunately it was only good enough to finish middle of the pack in 52nd. Time to put it behind me and gear up for the next one. #teamoutdoors #rangerboats #yamahaoutboards #powerpole #garminpro #thmarineteam #lithiumpros #truetimber #strikeking #sunline #ownerhooks ...
