I finally got out today to do some bluegill therapy. I had a lot of fun watching them try to whack some Gartside Gurglers. I did get a couple but after a very trying July this was needed, believe me.
Anyhow these gills were going after #10 gurglers. I did get a big swirl in some weeds, but no hook up. I agree that that the smaller ones "pick" at the prey to cripple it. I would have 3 or 4 picks per cast. But again, just to get out and catch 3 was very helpful.
