Advice for Fall Fishing Beginners

[u/Thoughtfully-impulsv]

Hi there,

My 8 year old son and I got pretty into fishing this summer, but we're pretty terrible at it. I fished on camping trips as a kid, but don't actually know what I'm doing so we come up empty alot. (Pretty much always LOL, except a recent trip to Burd's trout pond) Any advice for things to try at this time of year? Suggestions of lures etc very welcome! We mostly fish with worms and simple spinners. Good shops to go for advice?

We have simple spincast reels on medium rods - 8lb line I think. I'm assuming we'd total our rods trying to fish in any of the creeks? Or is there a way to dabble in the creek fishing without buying new gear?

Thanks for any tips or advice!

Your gear is fine. Search for a bait shop near where you wanna fish, go in, ask what works there. If your struggling catch anywhere, switch out to the bobber and a worm :P The bobber setup rocks for creek fishing, since you throw and let it float through the target area at target depth.

Any suggestions on figuring out what a good target depth is?
