On Table Rock, a small slip sinker above a swivel or a split shot about 12 to 24 inches above a #4 hook with a small worm or cricket, dragged very slowly over the bottom on long run out points in the 23 to 27 feet deep range should get you bit. Worms may cause a surprise walleye or bass. Catfish possible too.

Other large lakes near here the depth will be close. Can't say about small lakes and ponds.

It all depends on if its a lake or a creek. I like Raw frozen shrimp cut in to little chunks on an ultra light spinning setup. Rooster tails 1/24 -1/8 ounce work great as well . Gulp makes some smelly fake worms that come in a jar those work.There are alot of ways to catch them

Ya but what it you lake is like 10 to 15 feet deep do you still drag it across to bottom.

Rooster tails for shallow bluegill

If you're bait fishing, use crickets or worms under a bobber. Small 1/32 ounce Rooster Tails and Panther Martins won't catch you as many fish, but the bluegill strike them real hard and its sure fun. My favorite way to fish for 'gills is with a light fly rod and big, bushy dry flies (Dave's Hoppers, Ausable Wulffs, Parachute Adams, etc mostly in #10-14.) Great fun on summer evenings. And I use #10 Woolly Buggers through the rest of the day, usually Olive, or whatever other color I feel like using.
