Lake Pleasant Bluegills - CAST for Kids

(1/1)

cousinlll:
I'm participating in the CAST for Kids event at Lake Pleasant in a couple weeks. Taking a special needs kid out fishing for a couple hours.

Looking for recommendations where to find Bluegills or areas to fish. Would really like to find some fish for the kid to catch.

I usually only fish Pleasant at night for stripers so any info you may have would be greatly appreciated!

IAMMAC:
Ditto for me.....Not sure where to start at that damn lake.

sparkchaser:
I'll take any advice as well, as I'll be out there too.

Stevert:
Get some worms and some minnows, not too many of each will be necessary.  Rig them up with a slip bobber.  If the kid doesn't mind a boat ride head up castle creek.  Otherwise go fish the shallows northwest of the ramp near the sherrifs station.  Fish that slip bobber while searching for a bedded bass.  The lake should be clear enough to see down 15-20 feet in the watercolumn.

I wish I could join you.

I've never struggled to accidentally catch bluegil at Plez. Worms, corn, or really anything will catch them. I had a buddy throw styrofoam on a hook once with a dab of Kick'n Bass and still caught a gill.

I always find them on any rocky shorline, boulder piles, or submerged trees. A worm on the slip bobber, like Stevert suggested, could find you catching some bass as well. I don't know what the clarity is like right now, but that lake is always clear on the main, so finding any cove will be good.
