Read some articles on fishing for bluegills with spoons. I always fish with a float and have decided to try some new techniques, I have never fished with a spoon so I bought some 1/16 oz 1” spoons, traded the treble for a #6 Gamakatsu Siwash hook. Tipped with a wax worm. Caught some hump heads. Fun to feel them thump it! Attachment 345424Attachment 345425Attachment 345426Attachment 345427

Nice, I'll have to try that.
That is fun! I have caught them on a real small chrome Kastmaster spoon while they were schooling on the surface. This was in a cove at Raccoon Reservoir many years ago.
Dang they are colored up! Looks like Florida fish.

What's the name of that spoon, and where did you buy it ?

Lindy Quiver Spoons 1 inch long 1/16 oz. got them from Fish USA. Bought the gulp alive minnows to tip them with but used wax worms yesterday cause had a few left from Sundays outing. Found the hooks on Fish USA also. They came with tiny treble hooks on them. Bought them for my old man for Father’s Day but got myself a set as well. Bet they would work good for crappie also.

Seem like a 1/16 oz they would have to be fished pretty fast.
I fished them fast and slow and they had a ton of action either way. 1/16th oz falls slower and is easier, in my opinion, to fish slow and keep at depth you want. Bought some 1/8 oz Kastmaster also and they sink too fast....harder to keep at depth you want with out going fast. I have little experience with spoons but that was my observation.

gills are very aggressive. you can troll those, spinners or tiny cranks over the basin in midsummer and pull some dandies. nice job on the branching out.:HandsClapping
