Waxworms! Another artificial source is Berkley's Power Wigglers! Deadly on the pre-spawn and spawning bluegills!

I've always had good luck with crickets.

 

[nkccatman]

I have good luck with nitecrawlers and grasshopers!

 

[nralover]

I have fished for bluegill with just about every concievable bait, and I always have my best luck with redworms for sunfish in general. A redworm is what landed that 11.5 inch shellcracker on my avatar.

 

[kat in the hat]

Whatever is available at the time. Usually tiny pieces of nightcrawlers. they bite on anything, so I say it doesn't really matter. Red worms and crickets are not available here in town, os I naver use them to catch bait. Usually trap them anyway.

 

[coorsdrifter]

european night crawlers have been doing a great job for me and my kids so i started farming them so i would have enough

I have gotta ask...What is an european nightcrawler?

 

[CATBUSTER]

crickets in the summer and worm's in the spring and fall months

 

[r_p_narramore]

Crickets. They'll hit them when it's slow on other baits. I get bigger gills on the crickets also.

 

[massa_jorge]

i use those white grub worms i dig up in the garden. i think they are junebug larvae. they have really tough skin, will hold for 6-7 fish.

it's a nightcrawler from europe!!!:lol:

sorry, i had to.

 

[JMarrs328]

nightcrawlers, or small pieces of shrimp, or chunks of crayfish tail, or small pieces of hotdog.

 

[tnkatman]

I agree with Tnshooter, night crawlers work best in this region.

 

[catdaddy007]

I have always caught bigger fish on crickets.If I'm catching bait for my trotlines I use nightcrawlers.

 

[micus]

Whatever I can dig up or catch at the time. Ain't no bait shops in the area of my camp.:lol:

 

[catfisherman60]

I use both.:lol:

 

[Ahquabi_Master]

I snip off as small of a piece of nightcrawler as I can. If i'm not using that i'll use corn. They love bacon too...

 

[mwallace61]

Does none of the above count? BeetleSpins on an ultralite spinning rod.

:confused2:

 

[David Knotts]

I use worms to catch my first one, then I use a small peace of the fish I caught to catch the rest.

 

[blindfly69]

crickets fall off the hook, after only one or two fish but you can make a wiggler stay on the hook for at least a little bit.... i'm pickin the worms

 

[mangus]

crickets. also use grasshoppers and betts black ants on my fly rod.
