Born 2 fish Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) All summer the bullgill was killing it. But now the water is cooling fast I usually struggling with big baits. I got a good one yesterday on the strong shad. Do you transition to Shad pattern over bluegill In the fall? I probably have a month and a half before ice up starts .

urbanhick Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 I reel pop and stop glide baits around kinda like a big jerk bait. Turnover makes the bite slow till the lake flips then they chew hard in my observations here in MA.

I only have s wavers 168 and 200s should I focus on one size over the other? Thanks. urbanhick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember you are looking for a cold water reaction bite so I prefer something that has a super slow sink rate. CarlosC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2 fish Posted October 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Thanks I’ll give the glide some more time I just don’t have the confidence in them to keep throwing them. I’ll also try crankin down my slammers. Thanks for that tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass the east Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Slammer always does well for me in fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinnadamss Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Drt tiny klash always has done work for me in the fall, but anything with a jerk bait style action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerkbait22 Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 What temps do you northeast guys stop throwing glide baits? When it gets under 50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakerhill Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Tiny Klash. Klash9. I’ve found luck with crank downs in cold weather but nearly the success the klash has brought. As much as I love wake and cranks, I catch more fish when I leave them home in the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have caught them on glides down to the mid 40's . This one ate a taxi in 45 degree water.

Born 2 fish Posted October 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Well I’m going to try the S waver right now for a few hours. Just trying to decide what color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossypumpkin Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Water is still near 60 in Maine. Wakes and cranks all day. Caught 10 today on the slammer and ZFG. I don’t really start fishing glides til 55ish. Then the Tk comes in hrs around 50. Under 50 wakes are pretty much gone although under the right circumstances a wake will get em between 45-50. But then it’s mostly cranks, glides, Tk, and occasionally a hudd. bassturds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerkbait22 Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 I fished a glide yesterday, water temps were 57-58. It seems most of my fish have gone deep - the water turned over a little over a week ago. I was only able to get a few followers - 3 of the 4 followers I had came off of old dock pilings shallow. Looks like with the vegetation having died, fish are now suspended deep or sitting on bottom in 20 feet. I tried slow rolling a hawg hunter deep and through the suspended marks but not a touch.
