The bluegill can be found in abundance in North American waters. It can be caught easily and is excellent tablefare. It's commonly found around structures such as brush piles and weed beds, where it feeds almost exclusively on insects. It will readily take to a commercial fish food, which will enhance growth rates. Bluegill can be distinguished from other sunfish by the presence of a small mouth, long, pointed pectoral fins, and a dark spot on the dorsal fin.

Bluegill begin to spawn in late spring and continue throughout the summer. The prolific reproductive habits of the bluegill make it the primary forage fish for predators such as the largemouth bass. One year old fish range in size from 1 to 4 inches and become sexually mature at 4 to 5 inches.
