whts bluegills favorite food

  does anyone have info about what bluegill love to eat i know they like spike but run out quick on perch

[fishingking]

If your running out of spikes fishing then obviously you need to bring more out with you

bluegills though liek to swim around and pick inverts off of  weeds, they also feed on mico-organisms in the water, and may feed on the ocassinal minnow or crayfish

keep in mind bluegill and perch liek the same structure- sometimes smaller baits doesnt entice the perch but you get smaller bluegill- got big like a sweedish pimples with a wet fly on it, make a 3 in leader

  thanks both of u there great ideas

  I seem to have better luck using beemoth than spikes. They are a little bigger , maybe that makes a differance at times.

  Try putting a few zoeplankton on your hook   Just kidding.  These are microscopic
organisms and bluegills main forage.  Corn Borrers, wigglers, mousies, wax worms,
spikes, and small minnows in that order.

I have an idea...first SLOW DOWN when you are typing.  Its awefully hard for me to understand your writing.  Re-read your posts after you write them, and make use of the spell check function (the button just to the right of the 'post' button).  Sometimes I don't even understand the words I write...but spell check picks it up every time.

Small fatheads!!

I have had some success with the trout/pan fish worms like you find at Wal Mart.  Put them on a small jighead and let the worm do all the work.  Just remember to keep a lively worm.  It doesn't always work but sometimes they'll hit that when they don't seem to want anything else.

A spike is just a more pleasant name for a maggot.
