Lake Sonoma Bluegill lures/bait suggestions?

I'm heading to Lake Sonoma to do some kayak-in camping next weekend and I'm hoping to to catch some bluegill. I've never fished for them before so I'm wondering if anybody can help me out with some lure/bait recommendations? I generally prefer artificial lures to bait, but I'm open to using whatever works. Any input would be appreciated!

Use small hook and worm works best for me.

I like a no.10 hook on 6lb test or lighter. Put under a small bobber, or use tiny splitshot & fish the bottom  5 to 15ft deep.
Small spinners work good also, small panther martin or similar

Good stuff, thanks everyone. I come from a desolate bass-less land and only have experience fishing for trout, so it's nice to know some of my little in-line spinners may work.

I'll definitely try the worm and bobber, and I'll look into picking up some jigs. I have no idea what a 'dead stick' is, but I'll be sure to look it up and potentially try that as well.

Thanks again, much appreciated!

dead sticking is letting the bait your offering fall and let it sit for a bit  before the retrieve  usually when the fish are slow to bite ..example I was at Lake Sonoma recently  fished the private boat dock with motor-oil grubs w/1/8 jig heads ..usual jigging wasn`t working too well ,getting small crappie..decided to let it "sit" before any jigging..  Bam . Bigger Crappie started hitting it,,just my .02

Beautiful, thanks again VK

Another trick is a fly under a bobber. And I mean a fly like you would use for fly fishing

yeah Okie rig  !!! I use a clear plastic one ...

Yea adjustable one for buoyancy. You fill it with water.

Basic  slip bobber with a small baitfish hook any kind of live worms works great... Substitute small jig n grub for crappie... Yorty creek would be a great spot to start.

Yorty Crk ...good area ,some great coves for Crappie

4 lb test, little  hooks with long shanks, red worms.
I put the red worms in spanish moss. It's less messy and they keep great.

Some more great suggestions. Love the moss idea. I've been trying to find some long shank hooks but nobody seems to sell them. The North Bay could sure use a Bass Pro Shop...

No don't need BPS ... Have Outdoor Pro Shop in Cotati

the old +1!   I have a BPS nearby and I wish it was Outdoor Pro

Wow, somehow I have never heard of this place (still pretty new to CA) but it's on my way to the lake so I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks!

White wax worms work the best. They are small enough so that you can cover a small hook and soft enough to where you can hook the fish as soon as they bite.
