Gravel points... 10-15 feet of water... drop a cricket or night crawler straight down to the bottom and crank it up one turn. Move around some on the point. If one point doesn't work, move to another. Point 5 is a great point.

I use my trout rig- 4 lb line, small split shot and #8 hook.

A dock, a worm, and a bobber should do the trick.

Oh yea- takes lots of pics and report back. Love to see some nice big blue gills!

Ice jigs tipped with wax worms under a spring loaded pencil float, no weight.

The jig will sink slowly, and the float will lay flat on the water. When that float stands up, a fish has taken the bait so set the hook.

Been a killer technique in the northwoods (WI) for years.

Crickets worked great last Sunday at a local lake, we caught a nice mess of Redear, a few Bluegills and one Channel Cat. Heading back tomorrow if the weather holds out.
