Jig Fishing For Fall Bass - Everything You Need To Know!

If you're not comfortable fishing a jig, this video is for you! The jig bite can be amazing in the Fall! We rely on it to get BIG bites when other baits don't. The key is understanding where bass are positioning and which jig styles to throw. Today Tim 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 Tim'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 it's all about jig selection and color. 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 Tim'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 The Best Tricks To Catch Them)

Fall is here! Here's what you need to know to keep catching bass! Bass are schooling up and feeding heavily! If you're not catching them, it's time to adapt because it's happening on your lake and you're missing it! Regardless of the type of lake you're fishing, we're here to help. From where bass position in different types of fisheries, to the baits we use to catch them, we're about to lay it all out for you.

Fall is prime time for bass fishing! Whether you like to fish shallow or deep, there are aggressive fish to be caught. We use different lures depending on the type of fishery but the concept is the same; find the baitfish, find the bass. Keep moving, keep searching, and keep your eyes peeled for signs of life! If you can find the baitfish, active bass aren't far behind.
