Thread: Bluegill on Lake Monroe

When fishing Monroe this summer, I find larger nice gills in 12' to 20' fishing the shallow points on main lake that eventually dump into the Creek channel, if you can stand the rocking and rolling from the jet skis and boat traffic. The better gills are there but it's more like structure fishing. Small spinner baits with pieces of night crawler as well as hair jigs, rr with Curley tails or other plastics are my fav. baits. You can locate them even long lining in search patterns. I also would find nice schools of larger crappies on main lake fishing like this. The fish are there, just have to locate them.

I'll be on Monroe Sunday with J&R fishing for crappie and bluegill. I'm excited to see how it goes

Different fishermen uses different technics as well as fish different locations especially when you have 10k acres to fish. Good luck as J & R does a good job.

Thank you Cavens, hair jigs are about all I fish with, sure will use the info that you have given me.
