Best bait for bluegill and redear sunfish?

Umm! Umm! Good! Go out to the pasture, find a partially dried cow pattie, flip it over and dig up a shovelful.

I'm thinking what has been posted on this thread, means the fish will bite on anything put in front of them.
I'm pretty impressed with the different baits that y'all use.

All sunfish are voracious eaters and will tear up anything you put in front of them when they're feeding, which is often.

I love to use small jigs and such. Lots of action and you don't have to get redworm juice all over your hands.

Hey now! I like red wiggler juice on my hands. I dont need to turn over cow pies to get red wigglers. I just go to my old freezer and rake the soil back and get me a bundle of em. They can sure pack away some watermelon rinds. LOL

If you really want to catch them, find some meal worms. They are a beetle larva and should be available at bait shops. They will hit these over most anything else.

OK. That's it. I'm gettin' me some bluegills tomorrow.
