<p>Robert,</p>
<p>Depending upon the weather I will go until at least Thanksgiving. I live on Maryland's Eastern Shore. As the air and water temperatures drop, I look for deeper structure in the pond/lakes I fish. I also catch Crappie, Pickeral and Yellow Perch with the gills. On a warm sunny day I'll adjust a little shallower.</p>
<p>I don't consider myself a Guru. I too am learning all of the time and enjoy forums like this one to learn as much as I can.</p>

<p>Hi Ron,</p>
<p>I have been told you are the Bluegill Guru and I love to learn, how long do you fish for gills,up until what month? Can you give me some tips on how to fish gills this time of year?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank You,</p>

<p>Jason,</p>
<p>I've been tempted by the Gulp Alive Crickets, but haven't tried them. Do you have a particular color that you prefer?</p>

<p>It was a pack of Chartruese. I also like the colo Emerald Shiner. I usually fish around allot of downe trees and under overhanging trees. Is is important to move the bait in a jerking manner and stop frequently so that the bait slowly sinks. That's also why I use the lightweight jigheads (slow sinking).</p>

<p>My best slug of fish on this trip happened just after sunset. There was alrge mat of leaves and debris that had accumulated near the middle of the lake. It was 3 distinct matts about 12' long. I worked around those mats and caught about 14 or 15 fish. Most of them were dinks, but both large gills and 2 yellow perch came from there. On my 4' micro lite rod/reel it was a blast. The two gills actuall pulled my boat.</p> those Gulp minnows under a co…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2012-10-27:2036984:Comment:3229312012-10-27T13:32:11.663ZJason Preslarhttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/jasonpreslar
<p>those Gulp minnows under a cork work great; i've caught fish in open water or around structure with them; if it swims it will eat a 1"Gulp minnow; the smelt color works great too along with the crickets</p>

<p>Nice little commentary, Ron. I especially like the description of your methods with the 1" Gulp! minnow. To date, I've had dismal luck with them. Actually, dismal might be too generous a description.</p>
<p>But, I'm willing to try anything. I see what looks like chartreuse baits there - is that right? And do you care to elaborate on the sort of structure you fish them around?</p>

<p>It was a good afternoon. I have been fishing a little in the saltwater, so it was good to hit a local lake.</p>
<p>Jason, I use the Gulp Alive 1" minnows almost exclusively. I rig them on a 1/32 or 1/64 oz. jig head. I suspend it under a foam torpedo bobber, cast it out, let it settle and then pop it back to the boat in short hatd jerks. They can't resist it.</p>
