![]() There are two subspecies of bluegill native (also called Mississippi) and coppernose. They also provide excellent fishing opportunities for kids and novice fishermen and are good to eat. Bluegill readily eat floating fish food and have great growth rates from supplemental feeding. Spawning occurs when water temperatures reach 67-70☏. They spawn in large colonies of nest in 3 to 6 feet in depth over sandy and gravel substrates close to the shore. This provides largemouth bass with a large quantity of food while still allowing themselves to sustain a healthy thriving population. Bluegill are very prolific, reproducing multiple times a season (3-5 times/year). Known as bream to many, they are the backbone of forage production for largemouth bass ponds. ![]() “Stocking” Outside the Box Trophy Bass Management Greg Grimes Aquatic Environmental Servicesįish List for Quality/Trophy Bass Stocking Bluegill Sunfish Redear Sunfish Fathead minnows Threadfin Shad Golden Shiners Crayfish Largemouth Bass(F1, Florida, Northern) Gizzard Shad Rainbow Trout Tilapia (if legal)įorage stocking-Foxworthy 52,000 bluegill, 52,000 fathead minnows and 5200 redear Presentation on theme: "“Stocking” Outside the Box Trophy Bass Management Greg Grimes Aquatic Environmental Services."- Presentation transcript:
