Fall is a great time to catch bass. Anglers are more likely to catch more fish. In the summer, small bass can be found in shallow or deep water. These fish will move closer to shore as the water temperature and weather changes. During the fall, anglers should stick to jigs and spinnerbaits for optimum results.
Spinnerbaits
Anglers need to remember to keep the retrieve rate in mind when casting a spinningbait. Anglers fishing with spinnerbaits should retrieve the bait slowly and feel the lure travel along the bottom. Because the bait is falling, most strikes are occurring during its descent. For maximum realism, you should use a 3/4-ounce bait. When used in the fall, any bait that is heavier will be too slow to fall back. A spinnerbait works best for active bass fishing, particularly in areas that have long sloping points or creek beds.
It is vital to use a spinnerbait in order to catch bass during fall. Use a 3/8 to 1/2 ounce spinnerbait and fish it around the cover. You should use a medium retrieve speed. The rod tip should move every four to five turns. To make the rod tip appear injured, you can pausing the retrieve. This trick will fool staged basse and lure them to strike.
Swimbaits
Although it may seem appealing to use traditional hard baits, the fish most often find cover within five to fifteen feet of water. Swimbaits mimic baitfish and require a slow retrieve as well as a stop-and go retrieve. Use a heavier hook that is more weighted to retrieve your lure uphill. This will ensure it stays in the same area as bass. This will make it more attractive to bass.
While swimbaits are a popular bait during fall fishing, they are not the only type of lure. You can use weedless lures in areas where there is grass or pad. Use weedless baits that appear as real as possible. The bass will not be able tell the difference. Try using a weedless bait as well as a floating boot-tail. Use a worm during the fall to attract bass.
Jigs
Fall fishing is a popular sport, and jigs are very popular. However, there are some key differences in the types of jigs that can be used. First, it is important to know the jig's lead weight. The slower the fall rate is, the lighter the Jig. Heavy jigs will be effective against heavy plants and can even pass through thick vegetation. Smaller jigs will work well in shallow water.
Depending upon the size and form of the jigs, there are three eighth-ounce and half an ounce. jigs work well for slow falls, while 1/2 oz. Reactionary bites will be better served by jigs. It can be very effective to use colors that are similar to the forage bass eat on, such as green pumpkin and bamer-craw. But, it is important to consider the depth of any water you are planning on fishing.
