As a teen, a friend and I spent a few years culling a stunted pond full of small bluegill. We would catch hundreds of small ones a day and pitch them in the woods for the raccons. Although earth worms were a bait of choice we were literally at times catching them off bare hooks About five years later we were landing much larger ones, including some hybrids. We also noticed an increase in the bass population. Somehow as kids and from reading countless fishing magazines we had an intuition what needed to be done to turn that pond around. It took a few years but absolutely worked.

Love catching bluegill from a little pond near my house. Recently began using Spam as bait. Cut into small cubes and heat in the microwave for a minute to get rid of excess moisture so it stays on the hook. Also caught a couple of good sized catfish using this bait.

Yes! Spam is an underrated bait for panfishing. I have always gotten hot Dogs which is about the same and those panfish can’t resist it. I like how you heated that spam up to not make it crumble or come off the hook easy.

Something I learned to use for brim and sunfish several years ago is using a tiny piece of one of my old bass worms and put it on a small hook. I forgot my red worms and needed to catch some brim for catfish bait. And now I rarely ever buy live worms to catch brim as long as the sun's out cause that worked so well.

When I was growing up my family grew crickets commercially and sold them over a large area. Our cricket buckets weren't the ones you buy at the bait shops, they were 5 gallon buckets with screen wire stapled over large holes cut in the sides. When we went fishing the way we found the big ones was to literally toss a handful of bugs on the water. If the big ones didn't start popping them pretty quickly we moved on to a different spot. I always had a rig ready with a hook and no weight. When we tossed the crickets in I'd toss my line in the bunch. Never failed to get me hooked up, that topwater action was a blast.

So much fun catching bluegills!!! I've been getting tons of them lately (in the 6 - 9" range, looking for a 10") just throwing a crappie magnet grub on a 1/32 oz jig at my local ponds. I use the Gulp scented products (minnows or tipping the jig with a crappie nibble) when the bite is slow (cold water and middle of the summer) and they work great but right now here in NC the bite is on and they are very aggressive, hitting the jig as soon as it hits the water. I've caught a bunch of bass as well with them, they catch everything!

I haven’t but I’ve heard of stories of using those and tearing em up. I’ll have to try that someday

Been using Gulp Nightcrawler the last couple of years. They work fantastic and unlike live worms last after a few nips and bites. I've caught a dozen different species on them (LMB, trout, crappie, perch, various sunfish, catfish, etc.).

(( 👀 )) I'm watching this video and thinking here, there's got to be some big huge largemouth and smallmouth bass in that area. bass loves eating bluegills and sunnies plus you got all that cover as well. Nicely job well done on catching those great panfish

@TBassFactory Жыл бұрын

There are some big largemouth in that are and gar too. I didn’t really see them swimming around so I’m thinking they were buried up in some cover. Thanks Shawn!

Did he show where on the set up he put the bobber and split shot?

@TBassFactory 3 ай бұрын

Usually I set the bobber at about 2 feet from the hook but sometimes you gotta figure out if they want it at a different t depth. The split shot I usually put a foot from the hook so you can go to a foot deep with bobber.
