I like mealworms for bluegills and red worms for shellcrackers.
I had to re-register to get full access and once I did I saw the search feature. I'm glad they are saving older threads because I remember reading some good info starting from the time I joined.
I'm glad you enjoyed the post and found the information helpful. It's got me fired up and ready to go find a bream bed too!

I carry a long handled bait net with me and scoop in the weeds to get grass shrimp and small crawdads. Nothin like matchin the hatch. Maki plastics makes some great micro baits that I use alot. He sent me some tiny grass shrimp imitations to try with my last order. They work great drop shotted in the pads and spadderdock roots.

I use nothing but artificial's tipped with waxies. Some of the time we use plastic grub's, simetimes jig's tied by my fishing partner. He tie's the leg's on his homade bug's and they work really well.
I had this old post on my computer saved in my documents. This is something I always wanted to try because it sounded so good. I actuly saw another post that someone had that placed the shrimp on paper and covered with salt. He let them set for a few min then salted the other side. He would pat them dry then resalt. He did this for several hrs.
I did this then covered the peices with salt in a bowl then left the shrimp in the fridge for a couple days stiring with a spoon to keep the salt on top. I am waithig for the water to go down and the lakes to reopen to try them.
One time I had my wife to pick me some up when she went to Kroger and she couldn't find the ones in the package so she got the ones in a can. Don't try this they are too mushy. Don't think they would stay on the hook.

Catawba worms. When i used them back home in South Carolina at my dads pond and lake wateree i would kill em. even when the fish arent biting, you can throw a cricket and nothing happens, throw a catawba worm in the same place and wham. makes you wonder about all those times you go fishin somehwre for the first time and dont catch anything and say " there aint no fish here", well maybe there is, you just gotta give em what they want or something they aint never seen. it just sucks that you gotta wait for em to get on the trees. my dad always gets alot and and puts them in the freezer so he can use em later.
