im only 12 and i what to catch some blue gill for practice and to get warmed up for the summer so do you catch them like perch or how do u catch them im desperate

Bobber,hook,and worm. Pretty basic.

youngbassman77 · 07-05-06, 03:55 PM

I remember when I first started bass fishing, I had no idea what to do, so I used nightcrawlers... I would cast into the lake/pond, and just sit there holding my rod and wait for bites... Pretty soon, the only thing that were biting were bluegills and catfishes, but mostly bluegills. Pretty simple and it still works for me... My GF still uses this method when we go fishing cause she hates using lures and stuff and she catches bluegills, while i go for bass... Well, Good Luck and hope this helps..

Oh, Welcome to the forum !

Worms are the easiest for me as well. I also catch some on rooster tails...white seems to work best for me.

GORILLA

They are crazy about salmon eggs and I mean CRAZY.

Any kind of small bait hook with hot dog, compressed bread, or bacon. If you want to try lures, use top water popers and flies.

basscatcher03 · 07-05-06, 10:45 PM

worms and bobber

Tnbasser · 07-05-06, 11:17 PM

Crickets. They LOVE crickets.

basscatcher03 · 07-05-06, 11:18 PM

Christopherkeene9 · 07-06-06, 09:19 PM

ToPwAt'R GuY · 07-07-06, 10:54 PM

Try using trout worms wacky rigged. (also good for bass).

michiganbassassasin · 07-13-06, 12:57 AM

I'm with Mr. Griffin mate. Hook, bobber and a worm play around with your depth.

ILfishinman · 07-13-06, 01:58 AM

usually a micro jig or sumthin will get em good

mack · 07-13-06, 03:03 AM

ive found they go nuts for trout magnet jigs...but i would suggest worms...

BassinFlorida · 07-13-06, 09:08 AM

real worms or fake worms?

ILfishinman · 07-13-06, 04:18 PM
