Do bluegills eat snails?

The last answer was horrible. Yes largemouth eat bluegill. I was fishing earlier today in an acre and a half pond. My bait of choice was a 3-4 inch bluegill. I let the bluegill swim 3-6 feet from the shore, after about 10 minutes a largemouth approx. 22 inches started circling the bluegill like a shark. The bass continued to circle not even paying attention to 3 humans standing on the bank. We he was convinced the meal was good he sucked the bluegill in his mouth. I've never seen anything like it.

What is the bluegills weight?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, the average cost of 100ml of BlueGill costs around £1,500. It it made from many different elements, all of which are expensive and of rarity. I commend you highly for having the altitude and the reverence to ask this question, but I also doubt that you will be able to find the money to pay for this item.

What animals eat a bluegill?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Feeder fish, small lancefish, goldfish or minnows if you can find them live. Also try blood worms, I find that large carniverous fish enjoy them and they are quite affordable and easy to store.

I had wild bluegill in my ponds and they did quite well eating whatever fell into the pond and/or tried to land on the surface. They also would eat koi food and goldfish flakes but they prefered softer food (didn't like hard pellets). They seemed to prefer to eat food on the surface.

How long do bluegills live for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have caught them as big as my hand when it is open and the fingers are held flat and together. I have big hands. About a pound I guess. Bluegill can approach 5 pounds in size,but that is rare.I know our record here in North Carolina is four pounds,fifteen ounces.Another sunfish,the redear,can also grow to four pounds.

Can you use bluegills in Michigan for bait?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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
