THose cyclids ... do those "eat" same as a gill?
If anyone is interested here are some pictures and a video of the second time I've ever used the Trout Magnet. I'm a believer. These things worked great for the bluegills in this lake. Also got a couple or cichlids and largemouths on the magnet as well. Awesome little lure.

Nice catch. Glad the TMs are working for you.
They're basically in-between bluegills and bass. I'd equate them similar to crappie in the ecosystem. They do eat similar prey to the bluegill and their young serve as a food source. However, they get way bigger than bluegill and are way more aggressive so the larger ones are excellent predators of smaller bluegill.

lol opps. I thought he was asking if they eat the same things. Yes they taste good. Their meat is nearly identical to bluegills, but I prefer bluegill for one reason. I prefer a higher skin to meat ratio. When I eat bluegill I get more skin and less meat. Cichlids have more meat and bigger shoulders so not as much skin.

I don't want to speak for Techno2000. But using jigs in tandem typically means having 2 jigs tied on your line simultaneously, with one tied several inches to a couple of feet above the other. There are several variations including tying the jigs directly to the main line, vs using "droppers", varying the # of jigs used, as well as the distance between them, etc.

Yep, my Mom use to look for and find small chicken “fryers” to make up a batch of fried chicken in her well seasoned cast iron skillets. An old southern gal living in NJ! LOL What I would give to sit down at the old table for one more of one of her batches....Sorry, way off topic.
