Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I would like you all to help me out with how you all like to fish for gills/sunfish. Whether it be the bait you use or electronics you use to find schools of them swimming around.

Thanks,
Joshua2236

Check Bass Pro Shops or the Bass Assassin web site. It's a hard color to find.
Well I gotta bass pro shop 15 min up the road from me so I will put it on my list of items next time i go "grocery shoppin"

Thanks man!
i prefer light spinning tackle w/chart btle spin or mepps
and i still fancy the good ole live bait worm and bobber method when my wrists get tired of casting
Mike F,

Pink.......I caught lot of bluegills on 1/80 oz plain pink or orange jig with Gulp PINK maggot!

Other work very well for me on bluegill lure is black or pumpkinseed color ...1 inch twistertail on 1/80 or 1/64 oz jig!
When I'm hunting gills for fun, it's a 9 foot 2 weight fly rod with a level line, and a dozen different flies. I like small black gnats and spiders for dries, and the gill getter or a green spider with white legs for wets.
If I'm after gills for supper, it's crickets and a bobber. That's closer to murder in the summertime.
But there are so many ways to hunt them, you could carry a dozen rods on every trip.
That's too much like work. And 'gill hunting should be fun!
