Good lures for bluegill?

[central_fl_fishin]

small beetle spins or breadballs on a bream hook.

Don't forget about the TEENY torpedo.

haha it's sweet there seem to be so many ways to catch these lil guys.  Also shows how great this site is because of all the responses to this thread I was unsure how much a response I would get.  This is defintly a great site and comunity

i've used live salamander before and slayed the green sunfish for about 3 hours one day. never caught the same one twice. 5/0 hook through the mouth and feed it all the way through.

good luck. IMO these have worked better than crickets, worms, and any artificial i have ever used.

We took 3 little girls out fishing while we were at the lake and rigged them up with worms on small hooks. I had a rooster tail that was too big for them but I shot it out and they would follow it back to the boat and then head for the worm. It was pretty effective and we got to get 3 little kids out fishing for the first time .

Tail end of my senko .  Tick tick tick tick

wax worm, pan fish worm, and minnows

Tail end of my senko . Tick tick tick tick

I don't know if you were joking or not, but 1 1/2" to 2" tail sections of any Senko style bait rigged onto a 1/16 oz. jighead are deadly. Under a bobber, straight retrieve, yo yo retrieve, whatever. It works. Don't throw out your torn up stickbaits.

1 or 2 inch grubs on the 1/16 oz jighead is deadly!! No doubt he's right, for specks too. I like light green jighead with a lightgreen and yellow grub. Going to try a rooster tail and spiders now though, this forum has great information.

1/16 oz jig with mini tube and grubs, look at this beast, they hit anything in the pond in my back yard.

[mrlitetackle]

man,

now that thing is lookin' mighty tiny!!!!!!

just use him as the bait ;D

[birdy]

I thought he/she was kinda cute. Didn't want top hurt it. Had a lot of heart to hit something almost as big as itself.

[scaledriver]

haha them lil guys are fearless

[Hammer 4]

I've had them little suckers Try to eat my 10" ragetail anaconda a few times..lol  Minnows never fail..

[BigOleBob]

Nothing works better than a hook and an earthworm!

[skeetermike]

Ok, bluegills u want eh.  Try live crickets.  Although, this yr. down here in OK we used a small bettle spin and tore them up!  I say them, I meant the bream, but there were some bluegills mixed in there, sunfish, and goggle eyed perch.  All if large enough are very tasty when fried in extra hot greese.  We used many colors but the solid yellow seemed to work best along with the blk/chart and yellow/white tail.  All 1"tubes on around a 1/8th to 1/16th oz head.  It wasn't the problem of finding them, rather finding the bigger ones worth the time and trouble to clean.  4lb line on a 6' spinning pole was a fight at times though!  Good luck.

I've had luck catching bluegill with Rapala Countdown minnows (the smallest versions--CD1, I believe) and Strike King Bitsy Minnows.

The most fun I've ever had fishing was when I hooked into a mess of bluegill with the above lures.  I caught 7 in approximately 15 minutes.  They bent my 5'6" spincasting rod in half.  Some of those suckers were true bull gills, weighing more than a pound.  Little did I know (since I was, and still am, a newb) those were big for blue gill.  

Heck, I didn't even know what they were!  I was like, "Is this a bass?"

[scaledriver]

Bass fishing was so slow this weekend.  So I tryed the foam spiders with the clear float that some of the guys recomended.  Wow did it work great I caught 10 or so in around an hour.  Was great fun after a 4 hour grind of tryin to figure out where all the bass went  :

haha funniest part was listening to the guys a lil ways over form me complaining about live bait prices etc.  I was catch as many as they was and my bait never came off the hook  ;D

glad the spiders worked out for you! take any pics?

[MattinOK]

Berkley gulp earthworms. The kind that come in a little jar. These things are awesome! I can usually catch 40-50 bluegill an hour, and I always have em' with me (which cannot be said for real earthworms.)
