Fishing for Big Bluegill When Bass Won’t Bite – Float Rig & Bottom Rig

Fishing for Big Bluegill When Bass Wont Bite Float Rig and Bottom Rig - Realistic Fishing

In the final episode this week, I’m out in the evening doing some fishing for big bluegill with a float rig and bottom rig. When the bass just won’t bite, I like to fish for bluegill to avoid that dreaded skunk. I’m using gulp minnows two different ways. First, I fish it on a float rig and I end up catching a few nice sized bluegill. However, after snagging my rig on a tree, I ended up changing to a bottom rig. That’s when I end up catching two of the biggest bluegill this year. These bluegill turn out to be over 9 inches long! After the sun goes down and the bats start swarming around me, I experience some of the best bluegill fishing I’ve had this year!
