Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Having hit a slump lately, I wanted a change up. Stumbling over Tootys post where he shows his two go-to bugs, I gave the purple one a whirl.
This fish grabbed it.
Is one fish a definitive result? I dunno.
But I'll be tying up some more.

So far, every day Don. Gonna keep at it as long as I can.

Now, I cheated today on this- I was chumming with dog food.
But still, nothing else worked.

And, as usual, I catch one and that's it... The rest turn off.
I was watching them feed at the kibble as it floated; they just barely nibbled at it. It dawned on me that anything busy, noisome or disturbing is a mistake.
