favorite baitfish

[billy dollar]

i choose bluegill because it is easy to get i would have picked shad but im not to good at throwing a cast net so its hard to get them

[jkustan84]

I can't believe bluegill wasn't an option! Bluegill, rock bass, etc. are all I really use on the river I fish. I also love a good chub or sucker but they aren't a sure bet in most of my bait holes.

#1- Shad
#2- Bullheads
#3- Bluegill/bream
#4- Whatever I can catch that will fit on a hook..

It has always seems like green sunfish are more lively than bluegill, and the bluegill usually die on the hook... green sunfish are my go/to bait for flatheads

My Biggest Flatheads have came on Goldfish come to think of it.

Crappie!!!!

When fishing for flatties I like to use perch or what yall call bream, but have also used shad, small mooneyes, bullheads, and small bighead and regular carp. I have found that perch do the best in these waters around gasconade.

i as well am a lover of those green sunfish. Where I fish, there is a pond that these are all that are in it. Have to make a quick stop with a few gulp maggots and catch a few each time. To me they just seam like the toughest live bait I can find.

Hands down all u need is skipjack and cut bluegill to hook a hog in the ohio river.

[Kastaway]

4" or 5" Bream for sure. If I don't use them hole then I will cut them up.
But I try and always use bream...
