Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

2:30-3:30 An hours fishing by the inflow pipe which was flowing just a little.Only 3 Yellow Perch 2 pseeds and a White Perch ,but 21 Gills up to 7.5" hit the floating jighead,16" above a #3 split shot. /size 4 hook .I covered the bend with a worm piece and did 3 things ;deadsticked, slow retrieve ,and jiggle .They all worked but the jiggle combined with slow retrieve was best. Most of the fish were taking on the deposit hump the inflow creates .A few fish were using the cover of leaves blown to the NW pipe by the NE wind. 55 degrees at the surface by the pipe.
4:30-Went back out for a bit . Two Gills on Exude nymph on the floating Jighead but switched back over to worms and caught 10 more Gills ,a Yellow Perch and a White Perch . Looks like live bait is beating the pants off the 'Gulp Cricket', Mr. Twister Nymph and the MT Hellgrammite, the three artificials I tried. .I was hoping that Crappie ,and Walleye would move up on this spot later.

Worms; a cold front equalizer.

Worms? No shame in that game.

I always bring worms, and have been known to put a chunk on a fly.
