Fall! First Bait Thrown

We had snow flurries the other night. (Explain later) 

my first choice is the yum money minnow using a dying minnow twitch. Little short snappy twitches.

 

One year in November just before thanksgiving I had to go fishing. It was light snow flurries. I tossed the money minnow in a dog legged shaped inlet off the main lake. I have a med/hvy older bass rod. She bent it in half. I never had a fish do that, after around 15 minutes of trying to play her she spit the hook. She felt like a rock but was pulling back. She was moving towards me. This told me to bump up my hook size.

 

i believe in history repeats itself. If I get a second chance this time I’ll land her.

Here in central VA i usually have a walking topwater/popper of some type, swim jig, soft bodied swim bait, chatterbait and square bill on when i hit the water.  

 

To be honest though, fall has always been a tough time for me in the kayak.  Seems like all the fish busting baitfish are too far away and the bait i am marking on my fish finder don't seem to have anything feeding on them.  Oh well, i'll keep trying.

I have a small spinnerbait I put a paddletail trailer on that has been catching a lot of fish.

I have any got to bait it would be a fluke. I have also caught a lot of fish using a fluke chasing shad.
