Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Hi all,
I'm a newbie here and loving this site. I am one that learns visually rather than by reading so is there someplace I haven't looked to find pics of your rig set ups? Thx 2lbgill for sharing your site I loved your pics.

I am a newer fisher girl and set out to fish for catfish the other night at El Dorado Park in Long Beach Calif. Upon arrival I found out they stocked trout so I was not prepared bait wise. turns out I was outfished by a Crane who caught 2 rainbow trout about 2 feet out from the edge of the little lake about 20 feet to either side of me and to top that off, the nicest man about 200 feet away from me was catching Bluegill on a waxworm as if he was fishing in a barrel. As soon as the bait entered the water ..Bam he reeled'em in with a Huge smile each time. I enjoyed watching him in disbelief at how easily his family's fried bluegill dinner increased by the minute, lol.
I need to carry enough tackle to be able to change it up at a moments notice when fishing right after work. So your rig set up pics will be a big help for me. Thank you AJ

Wow, I never thought of a rig like that myself. I always fish for bluegill, and catch other fish by accident. Don't any of you bluegillers have pics that comply with what AJ needs?
