How to Catch Big Bluegills with Jigs and Plastics

Trophy-sized bluegills are a premiere sport fish that require homework and patience to catch. Armed with a small jon boat and trolling motor, Wired2Fish’s McKeon Roberts slips out on a remote lake to pursue plate-sized bluegills using small jigs and plastics.

TACKLE USED (boat setup listed below):
• VMC Tungsten Nymph Jig: wired2.fish/VMC-TungstenNymph
• 13 Fishing Fate Black 3 Spinning Rod, 7'6" Medium-Light: wired2.fish/13F-FateBlack3-FU
• 13 Fishing Prototype X 20 Spinning Reel: wired2.fish/13FishingPrototypeX
• Sufix 832, 10lb: wired2.fish/Sufix832-FU

• Fish Monkey FM 40 Performance Face Shield: wired2.fish/FishMonkeyFaceGuard
• Plano KVD Signature Series 3700 Tackle Bag: wired2.fish/KVD-SignatureSeries3700TackleBag

Finding healthy patches of broadleaf grass on mid-depth flats is the first step. McKeon uses 2D sonar in conjunction with long drifts to locate grass patches while dragging a light 1/16-ounce jig and plastic behind the boat. When he finds some fish (usually around quality grass), Roberts marks the spot with a waypoint then fishes the area thoroughly using the transom trolling motor to maintain position.
