Yes; you can use live bluegill and any other live fish except for trout and salmon as live bait *in the body of water where it was caught*. You're violating the law if you...

a) Catch them and move to a different body of water to fish with them
b) Use them as cut bait in any body of water

In the case of (a) it can be a grey area, especially of the body of water doesn't have a clear cut boundary (Northern California Delta for example). Just don't blatantly violate the law (i.e. pull up to the parking lot at your favorite lake with a bucket full of bluegill in your car and all your gear packed up) and you should be ok.

See section 4.20
