May Full Moon And Bluegill Fishing

[mic]

This weekend is the May full moon. Is there a certain time of day to focus my efforts on bedding bluegills?

bed time.

On bright day even agressive fish will often roll on a top water bug without taking it. Or they rush toward your fly, stop just before it and stare. During the last hour of daylight these same fish will take the bug without hesitation. I guess you could fish a fly deep during the day but what fun is that.

mic just hit the beds this weekend until you wear yourself out and then go back the next day ........etc. Over where you live I'd be looking for beds that have trees shading them. Let us know how you do, I still miss fishing for bluegill up in your neck of the woods

I hit some beds last weekend and the males were just starting to come in. Went thru early and did not pick many up in the morning. Went back after wearing the crappie out at noon time and they were hitting crickets.

I always seem to do better with the gills on beds on calm sunny days in bright sun. They seem to like sun better than clouds or low light like evenings and mornings.
