The ultimate bluegill bait are Crickets !! if you can find em. I have been known to go to the pet shop and buy a dozen just to have some on Utah Lake for hunting gills. Unfortunately, they catch small one also, so I don't do it very often. But you want big gills, try crickets. A dozen doesn't last long if you find an area where they are spawning. Maybe if we get some decent water this winter and spring, I'll be able to catch some in the yard. Haven't been to many lately due to the dry weather !!!
