I really like the mattlures bluegill. I've had some problems with them holding up after getting bit, (maybe that's just me), but they do get bit without question and not just on the beds. I've landed some 3-7 pound fish on them recently. You can swim it or fish it in a bed. I caught a 5 1/2 on it yesterday just swimming it on a flat. Good luck man, sounds like you've got a nice secret spot going for you.
