Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Has anyone ever used any of the spinner baits from this company? If yes, how well do they work?

Dave,
I have used some of Joe's Flies. I picked them up for cheap money at Wal-Mart. I have an oragne, chartreuse and a "Joe's Favorite" stlye. They work well with ultra light spinning gear and a pinch-on weight attached to the shank of a snaplock.

Good Fishin'!

I was drawn to Joe's Flies by my interest for fishing trout in the North Carolina mountains. They were small but I could still cast them well enough on my 5' spinning gear set up (it was really a crappie rod). They are nice for a number of reasons, you can quick change the fly's on the spinners, you can use any fly on the spinner and of course it caught any kind of fish in the stream. I targeted trout but I caught plenty of b-gill and smallies on it as well. The only thing I recomend is to practice and see how it casts on the rod you plan to use. If you don't need to cast more than 10 yards for small stream situations then you should be fine, but if you need to cast farther some weight would need to be added. Also, you can fly fish with these but it takes some getting use too as they are not too friendly for the fly rod. Hope this helps and good luck!

They work great. I personally have caught many blue gill on them before.

The itty bitty trout in-line spinners work well behind a casting bubble/torpedo float.

Recent Pond Boss thread on shrimp - http://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=208625&fpart=1 I believe the best way to catch them is with a net or seine. Pretty cool picture of a PK shrimp.

ur lucky- i went fishin 2day after the first week in the 60's. I got skunked. The fish in there were either biting, or they werent there. I think all of them were still deep in the middle of the lake. the extreme wind didn't help much, either.
