The Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) and the Redear Sunfish (Lepomis
microlophus) comprise probably the two most sought after fish of the
true sunfishes. Although it is true that black bass are sunfish, for the
sake of argument, we will be focusing on the genus Lepomis, or the
true sunfish.
The entire sunfish family is comprised of three groups, the black bass,
the true sunfish, and the crappies. Since the rest of the true sunfish
that are of interest to anglers (rock bass, flier, and warmouth) have
their own pages, we will focus just on the bluegills and redears here.
When people talk about bluegills and redears, most are talking about
fishing for them in April and May and sometimes even into June. The
spawning season. Although bluegills will spawn several times a year,
the main focus is for catching them off the beds in shallow water areas
near some kind of vegetation.
Another time people go after bluegills is through the ice in winter. It
isn't too hard to catch a nice mess of these tasty little fish, and that is
probably why they are so popular among most anglers.
