I've recently had extremely good luck on bluegill casting Garland's Baby Shads on a 1/16 oz. ball head. I count it down to where I see the first "twitch", then repeat the count each successive cast. Works for me. :)

When I target Bull Gills, I'll pull out the 3 wt. fly rod and sling 'em one of these, or put one under a small bobber.

Yep, for 10 years it was the only way I would fish, but I'm still growing and changing.
Like NeonMoon stated, it's hard to beat a rubber legged spider in front of a fly rod.
Joe's fly which is an inline spinner type bait that includes a flash blade, small fly with trailer size 10 treble hook. I've caught some of my largest bluegills and crappie using it. Definitely an all purpose lure. It's best used with a 6 to 7 ft ultralight rod with a smooth 4 to 6 ballbearing ultralight reel on limb 4lb test mono. You can add (various size) split shot 12inches above it for cast distance and depth

Teardrop with a wax worm under a slip float.
Black is best! Size 8 hook in a 64th or 32nd oz black jig head. 1" Black twister grubs, 1" black GULP leeches, 1" Little Atom black Teasers. Best deep and for best size off the outside weedline up here. If you are catching dinks, move, by this time of the year the sizes of sunfish tend not to mix all that much. For me it also takes 2# line to get the light jig heads down with proper line control.Quote:

Cast and retrieve, cast and retrieve. Only use artificial, never use bait...
3 and 4 inch Creme Natural Scoundrels.... Fished on just a Gold aberdeen hook with a split shot above it...Or on a flyrod with a strike indicator.
Try Big or Little Skunk. White works best for me most of the time. But sometimes I change colors for different water conditions. If you want to try some you can contact me at [email protected]
Agreed, it's an excellent bait and comes in a variety of colors. Make sure to buy the 1/64 oz. jigheads to go with them. (preferably black)Quote:
