a fun way to catch sunnies without spending to much on bait is take a #12 or #14 hook, tear off a small chunk of bread from your sandwich, and ball it up lightly on your hook. Sometimes it helps to "chum" with these bread balls to get them all riled up first.
SUNFISH/BLUEGILL TECHNIQUES
i sometimes fish in a small lake near my house and there are bass, pike, crappie, pickerel and carp. I like to catch the small sunnies on ultralite tackle. i use wax worms on a # 8 hook and they often steal the bait off the hook without me feeling the bite, even on 4 pound test. any way to hook them without having them get your worm every time?? for every 2 pieces of bait i use i land 1 fish. also, is there any specific lure or small jig that you have found to work effectively with these little baitstealers??? i find these to be even worse than porgies and perch when it comes to stripping the bait off of the hook.
