I occasionally catch bluegills up to 9 1/2 “ out of our Town Pond since they’ve made it catch and release a couple years ago.
I’ve found ponds are the best places for big gills .

Thanks for the replies. Looking for places to travel around and fish. Nearing retirement and cannot wait to fish all over all year!

I fish the St. John’s river between lakes Harney and George and do well most days during the warmer months. This one was just over ten inches. I got 7 or 8 of those this past summer and I lost count of those over 9”. No live bait, just jigs. Lots of the local lakes also produce like this but access can be an issue. It was a fun season this past summer.

Tunica Cutoff near Tunica MississippiOriginally Posted by Indianachigger
actually, all the old River oxbows up and down the Mississippi rivers in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Tunica was my favorite in late spring, through the summer.
Reelfoot Tennessee is excellent as well.

Oops, two more in Tennessee I just thought of....Dale Hollow and Center Hill. Both have monster Bluegills and big Shellcrackers.

Many great bluegill lakes in the south east. In all likelihood you will get bigger fish in GA....MS...FL.....SC....AL. And TN does not have copper nose as the other SE states do. Of course TN is known for Reelfoot Lake.....produces good bluegill. Folks that do not know about Dale Hollow will over look it for bluegill. It is fantastic for them. You will catch a ton of 9-9.5 inch fish and in a day will have several at the 10 inch mark. And will probably get into shell cracker on your trip. I used to drive 118 miles one way to fish that lake....in the spring tearing it up for 2-3 weeks, 5 days a week. Not to mention the scenic beauty of the place....water is extremely clear. If you decide to go send me a PM and I can tell you right where to go...and which ramp to launch out of.
