I catch almost all my gils using 1/32 or 1/16 oz roundhead jigs without the "spur", dressed with a Cubby Nailtail.

fly rod with sneaky pete, or cheap white popper, second favorite is utra light with beetle spins. Had a blast this morning fly rod untilt he wind started whipping up then a beetle spin on my ultra light. Fun is over for today.
What makes a better lightning rod than a graphite fishing rod? NOTHING!

1. Fly Rod with a topwater popper (so much fun to watch one hit topwater).
2. Ultra lite with 4# line and a rooster tail or beetle spin.
3. And then once I find a bed or concentration of fish I will drop a small piece of red wiggler under a cork down into them.

either crickets or worms under a cork. bright cork when deep but natural color when shallow

My favorite is crickets on a #8 aberdeen hook under a cork, but I have caught some good ones on minnows while crappie fishing.

Man-o-man, these little 1/64 oz handtied jigs are just awesome.

My favorite method of fishing for Bream is with a flyrod with white fly line and a 6lb test leader as long as I can reach with both arms extended. Any longer and it's hard to cast. I use a 7WF Flyline. Attach the smallest bb shot about 6" above a #8 long shank bream hook. The motion is a "roll cast" which starts about even with the boat and can be extended for quite a distance with practice. I hook a Cricket through the "collar" on his back which allows him to remain alive. The roll cast is relatively quiet and when that cricket hits a bream bed, they will pick it up and you can watch your flyline begin to move off, then set the hook. If you like a float, you can add a very small one which aids in detecting strikes. I have caught hundreds of large bluegills and shellcrackers with this method. Just a little variation from fly fishing.
