    Default Bluegills on spoons


    In the May issue of In-Fisherman hey ran an article written by Bill of Northern Illinois outlining a system for fishing modified spoons for bluegills. I have attached Doug Stange's account of this as he shot TV footage of the method in action for In-Fisherman- thought this may be of interest to some of you..

    I've been using mini spoons for gills for years. Get them from baitman or go to Home - Micro Spoons & Jigs and check them out. My favorite color is the black ones. Tip with maggots or powerbait and you're good to go.

    I have been making mine for a good long time now, well over 30 years, and they do work. I like to make mine in the 1/64 to 1/80 sizes so they flutter slowly. Fish them under a small slip bobber and then go get your hot sauce ready. The larger ones like "Kastaway" do work, but IMHO the smallest ones will land you more fish. Here is how I make mine. Thanks for sharing this.

    I like the smaller ones also. 1/80-1/64 are perfect. And add alittle flash on the tail. Then just hang on.
