Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Breeding Bluegill In A 400-gallon Stock Tank

As a kid we caught most in the Little Pigeon Creek drainage around Lincoln City and Dale. As an adult also caught them in the Patoka River Drainage north of Oakland City. You have to fish through a lot of Longear before the Fliers and Yellow Bullheads can get their shot at the bait. We also had two ponds with Fliers. They have a hard time getting to 8" in where sunfish are only fish forage. They might be different with lots of minnows. They are tasty.

Locations varied year to year because of how the streams wiggled. Same locations often yielded Pirate Perch and rather nice Grass Pickerel. The Patoka River drainage also has nice Redspotted Sunfish.
