How do I catch bluegill in the winter?

Are bluegill, sunfish, bream, brim fish easy to catch and what is the best bait to use to catch them?

  • If I use GULP to catch them do I have to have other bait on the line or this the only bait I use. Thanks fellow fishermen and fisherwomen.

  • Answer:

    They will bite on just about anything. Use a small hook with worms works best. They will often even bite a bare hook once they start feeding.

All I ever use is worms on a hook.

I usually use wax worms. Some times I use just plain old corn from a can. I've heard it's illegal in some places. It's supposed to kill the fish. But I thought that's what we were doing in the first place.

I don't know anything about GULP but over the year I have caught tons of what is referred to as pond fish; brim sun perch, goggle-eye perch, etc. Use a small long shank brass hook and live earthworms. If your earthworms are extra big you can pinch them in half as you use them. We used to catch earthworms two different ways here in Texas. One, was to pour warm soapy water on the ground where the dirt was real loamy like under a tree. The worms will come up out of the ground by themselves. Secondly, take a hard wooden stick about 12 or 14 inches long. Whittle some notches about 1/2 to 3/4 inches apart. Now stand this stick upright leaning it slightly on some loamy ground where you think earthworms are and run a 16 penny nail up and down this stick. The worms will come up out of the ground unassisted. Try it.

yes there annoying actually they put up no fight and they eat all my worms so use worms if you want to catch them

I've always had luck with crickets, and a great many times with small poppers on a fly rod.
