[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 99222, member: 1776"] So Friday night I purchases some waxworms, crawlers, crickets and some beetle larva. Saturday we tried them on various methods. A few bluegill obliged, but fishing was really slow. The best bait was a yellow head and pink body tiny jig under a bobber. Sometimes tipped with a wax worm, sometimes not. It caught perch and gills. We only found them in 6 feet of water/weeds. Nothing on the main points and nothing on beds. Talked to a few other fishermen and they didn't have many fish either. So the weather looked too good, so after dropping the family off I tried fishing for bass in the afternoon till dark. Caught a few small ones, more perch, and a pike. Most bass were found in the thick pads in 2 feet of water. I didn't catch any there, but saw two other boats take a couple out. I pulled some from the edges and lost two nice ones right after hookup. Can't beleive I got skunked on a keeper size bass here. On a good note, I ordered a bait from Build Your Own Baits. It arived a couple days ago and I had to try it out. It was a real fish catcher! I watched two fish go 15-20 feet to take a bite. Unfortunately, I lost the bait :x Now I have to order more. Thanks for the help, Will [/QUOTE]
