Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Been killing them the last few years by using a trout power worm and a small octopus hook , split shot 4-8 inches above  hook and small float 1-2 feeet up from hook.  Pull and pause and they crush it.

I heard some locals here on the Albemarle saying they used a similar method to catch some quality Shellcrackers......I haven't tried them but with live crickets difficult to get because of a big fire at the farm, might try them out. Jeff
