In the spring, an often overlooked forage option for bass are bluegills. A lot of guys are flipping crawfish lures or throwing baits that mimic a shad. But a bluegill is a big part of a shallow bass’s diet. Jason spends some time fishing areas where the bluegill are shallow looking for bass cruising in those areas.
