Do you love big bluegill?

Turns out Bluegills like squid. Daughter and I caught these two together in back of my sister-in-law's house in Tamarac, Fl.

I've caught them there on shrimp too, but the squid lasts a lot longer.

squid works well for lake perch in the great lakes .

Try some cut shrimp, too. Either one also makes a good chum, when minced real fine.

Actually bought a bag of frozen squid at the Pompano bait shop to use on the pier, but caught nothing.  Went back to sister-in-law's house where we had been catching bluegills on fly's and tried the squid. The fish went nuts, and we even caught some large Mayan Ciclids (3-10lbs) on the same rigs.  Never knew they were there.

Cool! Let's feature!

Nice! We did the same thing, however, we also created a special sauce of dried shrimp, trout roes-guts-bones, mixed with a bit of chicken blood and have the squid soaked in it. Freeze the concoction up, thaw it overnight before heading out, and a fun day on the water catching everything. The concoction is so nasty that I only use it once in a while when I know I'm heading out during the day while full moon was observed the night before.
