Thanks for the information.... we already bought some new jigs in various colors.....but this time we believe a little over fishing had something to do with the low numbers (considering the hole is so close to the personal watercraft launch). Bluegills can be picky. I watched at a local provo puddle as the bluegills ingnored my bait on the bottom. I decided to "tap" my splitshot weight on the rocks under the water and suddenly the bluegills came from every which way to investigate the noise. None of them worked up the courage to bite...maybe that is because I got in a fight with the LMB of my life earlier that day (and that ended with a knot break due to trying to net him). Now MICKEY (named after the mickey big mouth beer) swims with a new piece of bling in his mouth. Fish of my life and he broke off....story of my life. Since then I have landed bigger fish by just running backwards up the bank. I only use the net when on the pontoon or if conditions call for it.
