It would be helpful to know where you are located in order to give proper advice. Fishing conditions and tactics vary by location! I fish in the Chicago area, and midsummer the inland lake bite will vary with the weather. I mostly use wax worms for the 'gills and small minnows for crappie. I occasionally get a bonus bass or northern on the minnows. Generally the fish are as deep as they can get given Oxygen levels. Experiment! Tom

I fish for bluegill on Whiskeytown lake in Northern California, and have found that crickets and blood worms, (floating on a bobber as deep as the cover during the day, float em on the surface during feeding in the early am and early evening) do the best for them if that helps anyone.... |

It's hard to give advice because I don't know where you live, what the structure is like, the temperature, or anything like that.
The other day I went crappie fishing here in southern minnesota, the temperature was around 85, and I was fishing right next to a boat dock. The water depth was about 10 feet. and the water clarity was pretty low.
I used a very very small bright orange jig, with a gob of worm on it. I used a bobber and since the water was 10 feet deep, I fished about 3 feet. I caught some really nice slabs that way, but it might be different where you live.

I live in South Georga and fishing for gills for me is best with a fly rod. During the heat of the day I tie on a nymph pattern, during the morning.evenining and at night I use a popper normally a glow bug. The bugs also work well tied on the end of a brimbuster. for Speckled Perch this time of year I use a light Roadrunner with a currly tailed grub and a smalll shinner fished very slow. |
