This is handy info. I haventfished for anything but LM and Crappie since i was a wee little guy. But I love eatin gills, so i may go try and get teh wife into some bluegill somewhere... when I did gill fish, it was always crickets and small chunks of nightcrawler with no bobber...may have to give the bobber a try as it make sit easier on th wife and eventally my 2 year old daughter may get into it... cant wait to buy her a snoopy pole...
