Nice cooler full. Good job.

Are you tipping a jig with a red worm or meal worm, or are you just using the natural bait?

I tip a jig if using a float but that is rare . I mainly use a drop shot rig with two meal worms or half a night crawler .

Sure did the trick. :ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp

That’s too many to clean for me but a very good day for you. I always threw mine back, the good ones anyway. Should’ve taken a few more home. I really like bluegill taco’s.

Nice box full for sure...Looking forward to some of them myself...

Nice mess of sunnies, big tail on the Redear means it tested your equipment.

I love bluegill tacos if I can get someone to clean the bluegills for me. :Rofl I like the smaller ones for eating but the bigger ones are more fun to catch.

During the winter months I buy meal worms in bulk.

Crappie like them as well as bluegills do, but the trick is getting them past the bluegills at the top of the bp.

Friend and I, have been fishing a local river for bluegill, drop shot, with wax worms, is our most productive method.
Out fishes everything else.

Y’all keep talking about a technique I’ve never really given any time to. Gonna have to draw the line and use mostly plastics and feathers but I can’t read it about it as much as I do and not find out for myself.

Well done sir. I'm sure you had a big-eyed time out there. Thanks for sharing.

I'm good using natural boat, but my dropshot game is weak lol. Y'all have me sitting here watching "How to dropshot" on YT lol.

when all else fails , real bait is a killer in my book , many times it is, just a case of that
the fish are in that there want to eat something other than a jig mode
looks like dinner was served up bro , good deal
KABOOM
