Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Just wondering if you guys hit the hard water and if you are doing any good? I have been doing ok when I cab get out, but not many hogs.

Wow up to 1/4 oz. Thanks a lot for this . How'd you do that picture with the writing over it?Photoshop?

Do you always tip the spoons or are they hitting bare hooks?

Do you have a link to the rest of the story?

I know too many questions!
See my blog "Deep water spoon presentation and rigging"

Here are some of my favorite jigs. I will put close ups on my page and explain them better.
Wow! teeny tiny wee little things. Do they work all year? Which is your "go-to" set up? Where do you find these? ( Ice Fishing magazine advertisers?) I have used the Slurpies as weight for a drop shot rig, and if close enough to the drop shot hook results have been great. The other jigs seem like alien creatures. . . what do you recommend.

How long after fishing do you change to a different set up?

I caught a 9.75 redear at Willow Slough in Northwest IN. It was the first fish of the day and I ended up with limit (25) of in a couple hours. Good day. I caught that guy with a new Jonttu palm rod I found at www.yourbobbersdown.com they have some neat stuff for ice fishing.
That's a solid 'cracker!
