Here's something I know something about. If you don't mind cane poles and bobbers we can catch bluegill around our feeders on live worms faster than you can get them off the hook. For a little changup on live bait catch grasshoppers they do well also. I wouldn't do minnows for the same reasons mentioned above. On bass we live for the first and last hours of the day to do topwater like torpedos or something like that. Plastic worms,lizards,crawdads are good during the middle of the day and like mentioned above flyfishing is underestimated for catching both big bluegill and bass. Most days we will catch more fish on flyrod and a wooly burger w/weighted tip than on anything else. It is fun to catch 3-4 lb bass on a flyrod. There is my opinion.
