Belly up to the Bluegill Buffet

Millennia of natural selection have resulted in very specific predator-prey relationships within our favorite fishing grounds, connections that contemporary anglers have learned to exploit. Yellow perch are the favored prey of walleyes. Lake trout will travel long distances in pursuit of alewives. And when it comes to bass, particularly those of the largemouth variety, there is no delight more delectable than the bluegill, or sunfish (aka bream) species in general.
