Fall Fishing On The CA Delta! (Tidal Fishing For Largemouth And Striper)

We’re on the CA Delta and the bite is wide open! From Striper to Largemouth, the guys have no trouble putting together a pattern and catching a bunch of quality fish! Come along as Matt explores this tidal system with topwater, swim jigs, and crankbaits!

Its easy to go to your local lake and fish your favorite spots but as Matt illustrates in this video, it can be very beneficial to run likely patterns, even on spots you’ve never been. If you find a lure or technique that is working you can repeat the pattern on other similar spots on your lake or river. Matt and Ninja fished a very basic pattern today, relying on fast moving baits and topwater to cover water and catch Striper, then they turned to a crankbait on rip rap banks to catch quality bass and a Senko to pick off any remaining fish. 

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and travel gear the guys were using throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Jig Tricks For Fall Bass Fishing! (Beginner To Advanced

The jig bite is amazing in the Fall! We constantly rely on the jig to get BIG bites. The key is understanding where bass are positioning and which jig styles to throw. Today Matt is giving you the keys to Fall jig fishing whether you're fishing a clear finesse fishery, a shallow grassy lake, or anywhere in between. 

Understanding how fish are positioning in the Fall is half the battle. Pay attention to Matt's tips on WHERE he throws each style of jig as much as why he's throwing it. Getting bit on the jig is easy, once you're around the right fish. After that its all about jig selection. The right jig for a highland reservoir is completely different than the right jig for a Southern fishery. 

Below you'll find links to the exact jigs, trailers and gear discussed in the video. We've included Matt's favorite sizes and colors as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Where Do Bass Go In Fall? (And Easy Ways To Catch Them)

Fall Bass fishing is amazing! Bass are feeding in large schools and BIG bass are mixed in with them! Understanding how they position and what motivates their movements is key to consistently catching fish. Today Matt is explaining where bass position in Lowland and Highland Reservoirs, as well as natural lakes, ponds, and rivers. Each environment is different but when you understand what motivates these fish, you can catch them consistently. 

Fall bass are separated into two groups in any large body of water. You have shallow bass that are focused around backs of creeks and coves, along grass lines, and up against hard cover. You also have deep bass that are focused on bluff walls, creek channel bends, and long tapering points. Both groups of fish are fun to target but each group requires different baits to catch them consistently. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video. They're listed in the exact order they appeared in the video, along with specifics on size and color. We've also included some of our favorite gear for fishing this time of year. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
