Good-sized bluegill will be spawning up shallow all summer, usually some decent sized perch aren't far behind. You can even find some crappie mixed in, but keepers are tough to find. Look for any big/isolated docks and any hard spots near them. I use a grub to locate the fish and once I find them I like fishing a small jig under a bobber
