Do you love big bluegill?
Tried Spoon for Gills for the First Time...
My son and his friend had a half day off from school so we hit the local ponds. I had earlier looked for small spoons at Bass Pro and the didn't find much but I did pick up a 1/32 and 2/32 Daredevil that looked promising. I tipped with a Gulp Waxie and had pretty good luck with some gills, green sunfish, crappies, and some hybrids.. mostly small but some decent. It was fun. I did revert back to my old method that the kids were having good luck with and caught some that way as well.
Any recommendations for other spoons to pick up and where I can get them?
