Tim's Tricks For Fishing In The Wind! (While Fishing A New Lake)

Fall fishing is awesome, even when the conditions are tough! Come along for a windy day on a brand new lake. Tim is out exploring a new lake, and it doesn't take him long to find a great pattern, despite the wild weather. From dropshot to shaky head, to jerkbait... he dials in a pattern quickly and catches a ton of fish!

We all dream about beautiful Fall days, but what about when rough weather rolls across the lake on your day off? When the going gets tough, the angler that adapts quickly will see success. Tim was faced with especially difficult conditions because he has no history to lean on with this lake. Despite the challenges, he dialed in a great jerkbait bite and caught a bunch of bass!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. We've included the exact baits colors, as well as the rod and reel combos he used to fish these baits effectively.

Matt's Two-Bait Trick To Catch Big Bass In Fall!

Matt catches a GIANT BASS while exploring a new lake! Come along for an awesome day of Fall bass fishing! Matt didn't know what to expect as he started the day targeting quality Largemouth, but after making a run to the open water, he discovered an amazing Smallmouth bite as well!

The Fall is an amazing time to be on the water. As temperatures drop, fish begin feeding heavily. During this window, any cast can connect you with the fish of a lifetime. Today, Matt used a combination of a Duo Realis Spinbait 80, and a Megabass Vision 110 Jerkbait, to target big bass.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, gear, and terminal tackle. We've included the exact rods and reels, as well as any upgrades Matt made to the baits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

October Bass Fishing Tips! (Day On The Water Bass Fishing A Highland Reservoir)

Jump in the boat with Tim for a day of Spotted Bass Fishing! The deck of the Skeeter FXR 21 is lined with rods and everyone one of them has a reaction bait tied on. From topwater, to underspins, to Bait Finesse, Tim is ready to target bass on this highland reservoir! It's going to be a lot of fun, let's go fishing!

This time of year we see bass ambushing baitfish around the country. This lake is no different, with Spotted Bass targeting both shad and blueback herring in open water. Tim has a variety of baits rigged up, all designed to capture the attention of these feisty spots while they're in a feeding mood. Watch closely as Tim keeps his rods ready at all times, crediting many of his bites to a quick reaction time to visible surface feeding.
