Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I just wondered if the crappie spawn has begun anywhere yet. Here in Central-Western, PA things won't get going until early April if I remember correctly.

We are just getting started in coastal North Carolina Bruce….out of the seven rivers I fish most often , I’ve checked two this week with surface temps between 52 and 57 degrees……even though the river I fished yesterday was a bit colder at 52, the males were already displaying a tuxedo…..added some pictures to show the color.

These were caught yesterday adjacent to the shallows….with the blood moon last week, our fish are wanting to push shallow.

It's still a little early here in central, PA. My hope to to be able to post some pictures just like yours.
