There's a recent thread with a lot of posts about inline spinners.  Great horizontal bait that you can adjust the depth of your retrieve on each cast.

I did see a lot of small minnows/baitfish on the surface and popping as bluegill were after them. I'm not sure what all of it was, but there was a lot of mosquito fish.

I always assume that there are bass under (or close to) those bluegill...maybe not real active, but trigger-able
