Thread: Find em fast

I like fly fishing for Blue Gill but when the going gets tough a worm and slip bobber are king

Live bait is not an option here unfortunately, not fish anyway. Can use crawdads or other things caught in the same body of water though, just no live fish.

I'm thinking of getting some of those worms that someone sells here. I raise redworms already so they would be a good addition.

Start out with a Road Runner and once you get onto fish, switch to a small, straight tailed plastic, like a BG Baby Shad. You'll get plenty. Also, not knowing how your boat is rigged out, you might consider side pulling to create a wider search path.

Beetlespin , would be my first option.

Once you find the more aggressive fish I would slow down and then fish the smaller 1" plastics on a small jig. The 1" sliders on a 1/32 oz jig work pretty good.

I have used the 1" Sliders in the past and tip with a cricket. It will catch anything that swims. Get ready to catch when you fish with it.

I forgot I used the actual Slider 1/32 head with a willow leaf blade.
