Do you love big bluegill?

long time no see.. tim from new orleans

Spring and summer has gone past and i didnt even really get to fish much. We had horrible weather,, rising water,... just a horrible fishing season for freshwater. Saltwater, reds and specks, thats all good, but not too great with freshwater.

I goofed and left my Master telescopic pole in the sun and it messed it up. 

Wanted to ask yall , for those who jig for gill and sacalait, what colors tend to work best in the Fall? Down here, blue and white.. seems to work best, a good starting point. 

just asking.

Friend of mine who sells jigs says got some larger orders and its almost all blue and white (home made jigs) and yellow and silver.

My favorites for bream here in Arkansas are usually some combination with black, but with crappie, almost always some combination of chartreuse. Do like the whites at times if the water is really clear.
