no we were using the gulp maggots and red worms they come in a lil jar

Yeah I meant those. I bought some and had no luck with them yet.

I mainly ues these type for my daughter shes only 4 and thinks hooking real worms crickets and maggots is still pretty gross. we have had pretty good luck, but its been in deeper water around shady boat docks. when fishing close to the banks the lil 1's steal the bait and are gone. my guess is that your fishing the wrong spot, try fishing deeper around the back side of boat docks w/ a slip cork and a small but long shanked hook.

[QUOTE=shipahoy41]Hey,

This is old ship here. Everyone was right on when they said to fish through the small Bluegills. :D Use a slip bobber to adjust your depth. Also, use a #8 hook or small #8 marabou jig like mine. Tip them with a wax worm for scent. You got to train the fish and let them know you have some "Hot Sauce" waiting for them after they go to Lake Crisco. :D :D :D Tell 'em you mean business! Talk to them. "Come to Poppa" "Who's yo daddy?" "Send up your big fat cousins" "Here fiiiiiiiishy fiiiiiiiiishy"

Fish slower. Watch your float for the slightest activitity. http://www.crappie.com/gr8vb3/showthread.php?t=19609
