My best luck with bluegill are with small jigs. Crawler chunks or meal worms. I've been tinkering with plastics a little and have had a couple around 7 inches take. I find that the Artificials allow you to have the smaller ones hit but not strip your hook. Trout magic split tail worms work great. They come in a pack of 3 jigs and 6 worms. I have caught bass with them too. Maybe this coming up weekend we can meet up and I will show you a few of my setups.

Going to try to make it out to either the Mall Pond or Cattail today. Great weather for bigger gills to take.

Only spent a little time out yesterday. Still managed a couple of decent largemouth. One 14.5 inches and the other 12.75 inches. I have more time today to really work over the pond. Going to Cattail as I have developed a strategy on that pond. I tend to have pretty good luck out there.

sorry tetters i couldnt make it got busy

It's all good. Hopefully by this weekend, some cooler temps will roll in and get the bite going good again. I am really wanting to float a raft into the back side of the weed bed in the south bay at Cattail. It's difficult to fish from shore, but I always manage a couple of decent bass and some nicer gills. I would guess that if a person could fish by casting to it from behind, rather than over the top, they could have tremendous success.
Once it ices over, I will show that pond no mercy.
