Does anyone have an opinion on using live bluegill for catching bass?
I fish two or three times a week in a 9-acre pond in southern Yazoo County, just the owner and me.
During the spring and early summer you could toss a line in and catch a six-pounder, and occasionally much bigger bass.**
Lately though, the only reliable bait has been two- or three-inch bluegill.
I know some people look down on this practice, and I have even heard it's against the law in some locales.
I hope fall weather gets them biting again on plastic worms and so forth, but I would like to hear others' opinions on using a game fish to catch a game fish.
** I had two fish break new 30-lb braid two weeks ago, so I know there are some monsters in this little lake... it felt like I had hooked a passing truck....
