[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4755047, member: 6230"] not arguing that in most instances on shallow bedding fish, but i go after the bigger bulls which will hit the little bigger baits more aggressively. late winter fishing is an exception when they are feeding on midge larvae and hatching midges in feb and march. when big gills come off the bed first, they head for deep water. you cant get a cricket that deep for the smaller gills tearing it up before it hits bottom where the bulls are laying. big bluegill are predators just like big bass thats why crappie guides will commonly accidentally catch them over deeper water with minnows or crank baits. i wasnt trying to put down live bait or anything but since the OP couldnt find crickets was just trying to throw out some ideas for catching big bluegill which i tend to keep close. it sure beats staying at home.
