Small minnows.

I just had a great run of over 200 bluegills in a little over 3 hours using live night crawlers on Tuesday this week. I cut into small pieces and use a #8 hook with a drop shot 6-10" from bottom using 4 lb test on an ultra light rod and reel. Caught in 4-10' of water close to a bulkhead. Wind was blowing the bait to this one spot and I really killed em!
Of course I threw some artificial out and snagged a few but the majority were caught on worms. I could cast a couple of times and get one but if i lowered a worm I got a bite every time. Got all sizes and a few " large hand size"! It's fun also because you catch the occasional bass or cat passing by. I have pictures but my phone got wet and it's being repaired. Will post when I get it back. (It rained hard that night here in Texas as usual).

Gills like spiders and I like to make my own. Whatever will fill the bucket works for me.
