Can you help me with some fall bluegill fishing?

Author:
I have a one acre pond over run with bluegill.
Can you give me a good game plan to implement for getting a good start on clean out some bluegill via fishing? It isn’t completely overrun but there are a lot and I did put 50 bass out there this fall, but I was wanting to fish the bigger ones.
What are the good baits and lures for fall bluegill fishing?
is fishing with a rig and bobber and live bait the best trick for fall?

Live worms or crickets.
The bluegills will be in deeper water this time of the year. Say you normally fish a worm with a bobber 6 inches up the line in the summer, now try 9 inches, 10 inches, and so on until they start taking it. Thats of course for your most common technique with the live stuff.
This time of the year you can do just as good with a crappie jig or small grub as you would do with live bait. If it was me I would get a small floater and fish a crappie jig just like you would for Crappie. Place your floater starting about 8 inches up your line from the crappie jig and add more depth until you find what they want. When fishing these things just cast them out into any kind of cover you see be it trees, stumps, rocks, or whatever. Twitch your line 3 or 4 times then pause for a few seconds and repeat until its back in. You may get a few Bass or Crappie if they’re in there but you should pull out a fair amount of Bluegills as well.
If you put fifty bass in the pond already, depending on how big they are, the bass might have already beaten you to the big ones by now…
Try gulp in the smaller size and a slip bobber or a beetle spin. Good luck.
you could have fish and game shock the pond ,this would most definatly thin them out ,if you live in an area where there is a winter freeze there are jigs used ice fishing that are extreemly efective on pan fish ,expecialy when u spike ,meal worm ,waxworm ,eyeball is added
