Crickets. Waxworms and 1/64 oz. jigs a distant second, although both can be just as good on certain days.
Yesterday I discovered a hornets nest on the soffit of our house. Washed it down with water hose, cleaned off the live hornets, then placed into a container.
Removed the capped cells, and the larva within. Shell Cracker, warmouth, bluegill. Can't beat fresh meat and cleaning out the pests.

Here's all those bluegill I landed on night crawlers tuesday...
USAF Retired and fishing!
Crappie nibbles by far, Use a 1/64th jig head with a bright nibble I like pink, yellow & Chartruse. They are as good as any worm.
Took my 7 yr old granddaughter yesterday and caught them on raw salted shrimp pieces.On her first two cast she nailed em. After that she found splashing her feet off the side of the boat was lots more fun but we had a blast.I might add it was her first boating trip.

Berkley Honeyworms (55) to a jar 6-7 fish per worm or you can half them and catch 12 to a worm, will outfish a cricket and will fish right with a live maggot (spike), now that is saying alot. No hits put a new one on, the powerbait has faded. Will catch anything trout, panfish, catfish, bass. Can slide a jar in your pocket and your ready to go, try this I promise you will not be disappointed, tried all the other jar stuff and this one puts them all to shame. Comes in red,yellow and natural white. I personally like the natural white.

Probably should have said almost right with and knew I would draw a response from ya lol, it is hard to beat maggots and wasp larvae, but it is the best artificial you will find, if someone has stumbled on another please chime in, I want to know about it.
