Exactly.

As I said in the other thread, almost any small jig or fly will take bluegill. For now, just pick one and get it near some fish. A beetle spin is a good choice.

I think it's very hard to beat live bait, though. I use it most of the time. If presented properly (small hooks, light line), there are no negative cues to scare the fish.

When I bream fish I almost always use dew or wax worms.

My fave bait for kids and bream fishin is corn. Just pick up a can of kernel corn at the grocery and some small snelled hooks. Tie the snell on and put your bobber @ ft up from the tied area and cover the hook with a kernel. Cast gently and wait to get tugged. It's clean fun for everyone. Waxies and Mealies are good baits too. They're available at most pet stores (petsmart) for @ $3 a carton. Good luck and have fun!

live crickets are good

don't over think it.. theres a reason we start kids out fishing for bluegill and such...

You fish for kids? I'm tellin'!

Corn is probably the best cheap bait out there. This past Saturday, I fished for four hours in the morning. I had a mixed bag of over forty fish. I had mostly gills, but also had four carp, four catfish and a few big shiners -- all taken on corn.

Chartreuse and wax worms will get you bit and fill your bucket pretty quick.

Man, too much time thinkin and not enough time fishin.
I know you need practice to make perfect but just trying to perfect an idea on it all first...

Later.

That's the great thing about Bream, they will hit most anything. I have used dry flies that were for trout for years with a split shot to catch them. Earth worms from my child hood and crickets. The foam ants I tie now, just almost anything.

Really just try something!
