You need to be using very small natural baits, try crickets, on a
number 8 long shank hook,, small red worms, wax worms, mealy worms,
another great bream bait is raw shrimp,, cut it into pieces just big
enough to cover the end of that number 8 hook,, you can also cut up a
few and scatter it in the water where your going to fish.

Just wanted to report back that this worked well yesterday. I used my
smallest hook (not sure of the size) and some small worms, and caught
several bluegill. I still caught a couple bass, but not as many as
when I used lures or bigger bait. I'm going to pick up some #8 hooks
today. Thanks!
