What to throw when sight fishing bass around bluegills?

[BassNJake]

I like to slow roll a scrounger head thru the bluegills with a beaver style bait rigged vertically so it has the taller profile like the bluegills or I'll throw a prop bait in bluegill pattern as well.

 

Also have caught a few on a drop shot but the bluegills will keep pecking the bait too

Nailed it guys, that worked, but wound up not really being sight fishing.  I T-rigged to deal with the vegetation and dead wood nearby, and caught fish on slightly longer casts not flipping close by.  No big ones yet, but success anyway.

I told you to throw something other than a stickworm if it was a public area

  Maybe these ponds don't get a lot of pressure. At least, not by anglers intentionally targeting bass.  Surprising, but never seen anyone else there except the odd crappie fishermen, despite being in a very public spot.

Ahh crappie fisherman. Most keep them.. 

 

I have more stickworms than I know what to do with. The three main areas I fish are not so intrigued by stickworms much anymore... Used to be killer.. that's why I have so many.. it's slowed down for me. 

 

I like the senkos. Along with pretty much all of GY's plastics. And there isn't a color I own that hasnt caught a bass.. Itd be cool to be able to try every color Yamamoto makes. Haha. On second thought, I don't even have enough time to be able to fish every color they offer !

This is clearly about artificial immitations, but the bluegill spawn is my favorite time to throw indigenous swimbaits. Those bluegill are easy pickings with a fly and bubble and a live gill freelined out in the danger zone makes for a fun day.

I use jigs with trailers, wacky/t-rigged senkos, trick worms, keitechs, blue gill pattern swimbaits. I will try them all and let the bass tell me what is working for the day.
