Is it better to choose coves over creeks?

I'd fish the coves when they're bedding.Is it better to choose coves over creeks?

Minnow trap is your friend. ?My goal as a kayaker this fall is to find the young bluegills in the late afternoon, and use ‘em in the morning for catfish or striper. Being under paddle power, I’m trying to narrow my focus a bit. Thanks!

It is not legal to harvest game fish with traps or nets

Any boat ramp with a floating dock will have plenty of butterbeans around them. Piece of worm on a size 10 hook should get all you need in short order.
Float, bb sinker, 2ft deep, red wiggler down the sides of the bank. Preferably along rocks or wood.

even better believe it or not.....bacon! One slice of raw bacon will last you all day and here's why: a tiny chuck of bacon will stay on the hook better & longer than a worm. Sometimes you can catch several bluegills on the same piece of bacon. Also the oily bacon flavor spreads out attracting more bluegills. When my kids were tiny I wanted them to have non-stop action so of course bluegills were my go-to fish. So a tiny bit of raw bacon on a tiny hook was insane fun for the kids especially once that bacon oil slick started to spread. Come evening bigger bacon pieces worked on catfish.
This is great stuff guys, thanks for the visualization! I’m paddling my 8yr old on Clark’s Hill sunday afternoon, fingers crossed!
Them too.. ?Might have meant use the minnow trap to catch minnows as bait for the catfish and stripers as opposed to fishing for bluegill for that purpose.
