Sometimes on fish like the ones mentioned the trick is a larger pc. of worm instead of smaller from what I have seen in the exact same situation . They have a tendency to get bold and have been trained to take larger worms off the avaerage anglers hooks .
And if you can see them they can see you as well ...keep that in mind .
But to be sure .....sometimes I am not smarter than a Wiley bluegill either , don’t let it bother you none , they can be pretty tricky when they want to be .
