Took the kids to a small farm pond today in Wattsburg PA. Although the pond was small, the bluegill were quite hefty. They were aggressive fish, eager to take just about anything we threw at them. Mostly used a small green/white mister twister and jigged off the bottom. Just about every cast, the kids had a fat one on. During summer months, when you are looking for some shore fishing, try a local farm pond. Make sure you ask permission and see if the farmer allows you to keep fish. Most farmers like to have fish thinned out because of stunting with smaller bodies of water with limited food supply. Had a blast and will go back again this summer.
I bet they're tasty. Hey Rob if you want to know a great place to take the kids and you will catch a bunch of bluegills and bass, try the pond at the Harborcreek Park. A couple summers ago, I even caught a 20 incher out of this small pond and I released it back so you can catch him!
