Mid summer bluegill?

[CURTIS CRUMP]

Needing advice... I've always done well on bluegill during the spawn, but never done well in mid to late summer.  I know the fish have moved deeper, but I'm not sure where to start?  I usually move on to other things (like shooting skeet) during the summer, but I'd really like to figure out how to catch the fish in the middle of summer.  Also, just got a newer, better sonar for my 16 foot Jon boat.  So. . . How deep? Edges of points? Drop offs? Drop hotting? Crickets on drop shot hooks?  I guess the first thing I need to know is how deep and what to look for on sonar?

I totally agree with the timing of fishing.  I can go from one bluegill after another during the times from 6:00 am to about 9:30 am.  Seems like at 10:00 am a switch turns on and the fish stop biting.  Which is another reason I'm really wanting to master drop shotting and spoon fishing.  I think I'll have better luck during the later morning by fishing deeper.
