Does anyone know the normal age of a 1-3" bluegill. I have seen a lot of this size bluegill aroung the edge of my lake in the last couple of weeks. I know they would be from this year's spawn. I am trying to increase the bluegill population, so this is what I want to see. Also, is there normally a "fishy" smell in the air when bluegill are spawning? I noticed a very distinctive smell around the lake this weekend, even though I didn't see any beds in the shallows. My lake is in Southeast Georgia. Thanks for your help.
