What types of bluegill fishing trips are common?

Lake fishing is the most popular type of fishing for bluegill as well as river fishing, inshore fishing, and flats fishing.

The most common fishing techniques are artificial lure fishing, jigging, and light tackle fishing but live bait fishing and bottom fishing are popular as well.

How much does a bluegill fishing trip cost?

Prices for bluegill can range anywhere from about $450 to $1,720, but the average price for a half day trip for bluegill is $829. The average price for a full day trip for bluegill is $1,027.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for bluegill fishing?

The most popular season for bluegill fishing is winter, and most anglers book their trips 25 days in advance.
