I’m fishing today for bass and bluegill with a blade bait and live red worms. As temperatures drop, the fall fishing pattern is taking a turn for the worse. I try several places before I finally catch a bass with the Blade bait. The next cast I hook into something that comes off the hook quickly. Eventually I switch to live bait, worms. The bluegill are small at first but I end up catching a few decent fish.
Small shad imitating baits and live baits can get a few bites when the fall bite is tough. Check it out in the video below.
