The only thing I have caught my HBG with are small white rooster-tails and a medium sized hook with a pinch off an old small purple plastic worm (a home-made stubby steve's). I have not tried anything else however. I have had better luck with the small spinners. My HBG are about a 1/4 pound, still pretty small.
I feel left out when mid-westerners talk about their fish still feeding, mine stopped noticeably feeding a week or so ago and they actually slowed down long before that. My water temps are 55 top to bottom, but no top water takers, just FHM's. Hmmmm?
