More Bluegills

My brother and I were using this method today. Between the two of us, we had sixty bluegill and a few small catfish in about 2.5 hours. That's about sixty fish more than anybody else caught. We didn't have any maggots, so we used wax worms.

There was a family fishing nearby us (and catching nothing.) I felt bad for the little girl who was using a cheap spincast outfish and staring at a motionless bobber. I asked her if she wanted to try using a telescopic pole. She said, "Sure!" Ten minutes later, she had caught four bluegills.

As noted above, simplicity is key. This method is simple, and it works.
I read your post and I know I don't have to view the attachment because your right. I've seen to many beginners of all ages with that beach ball bobber and and a 3/0 bait hook trying to catch something. Beginners all just want to catch fish, funny how you have to hook them too huh. One thing and probably the most important, don't plan on doing any fishing and everything will be a better memory.
