When fishing gets tough for bluegills
Iceshanty:
When the fishing gets tough for bluegills try 1lb test line and no.12 chartruse green jig tipped with a waxworm for better action. Change your jigging motion to trigger fish that won't bite. Slow : Raise or lower jig 1/2" to 1/4" at a time very slowly in the zone where you think the fish are. Fast: Jig hard and fast above the fish zone then slowly lower letting it drop free fall the last couple of inches. High: During March and April Wisconsin late ice bluegills can be found less than 1 foot under the ice.

TUSH:
Crappie Hunter,
What is a rat finky? Who is it sold by? Do you like a certain color? I'm always looking to try something new. Does this method catch crappie too?
Thanks

Rat Finkies are made by Custom Jigs and Spins. http://www.customjigsandspins.com
They work for most panfish and perch. The Shrimpos are good too.

i always find my biggest blue gills on the out side edge of a large weedy flat. Light (1-2lb test) line, and very small jigs are a must. usually i end up in about 10-14 feet of water by midwinter. Also, the blue gills will suspend, come later in the winter. thats when you need electronics, or a darkend fish shelter.
