Had a ton of fun casting black rubber spider into the reeds and taking decent sized blue gill on top. Then switched to Clouser minnow (never fished before) and trolled / stripped to catch others. Bluegill were very decent size, crappie very small, bass even smaller. Had greatest luck with Skunk streamers when guy in-the-know said anything white works.
Heard stories of 11 inch bluegills in small Bruneau lake. Fished all day Sunday and saw nothing like this. F and G took a tank of bluegills out for planting and 20+ boats/tubes took lots for meat so not alot left Sunday during prime time. Very interesting. Saw 75+ small bass taken but not much in the way of bluegills. I was skunked on Sunday using same techniques that worked day before in Crane. Son caught 3 bass and 3 bluegills in small lake. Really slow. Still scratching my head. Love to hear what experienced panfish guy has to say after the weekend. Go get em.
