Fall Bass Fishing: Trick To Target Offshore And Suspended Bass!

Come along as we smash big bass offshore! We're targeting Spotted Bass and Largemouth suspending around offshore structure and the bite is wide open! Tim catches them on everything from a crankbait, to a dropshot, to a topwater on this wide open bite!

Suspended bass are the final frontier of bass fishing. Targeting these open water creatures is extremely difficult and until recently, required incredible work, timing, and a little luck. The advancements in forward facing sonar have opened the door further but it still requires finely honed skills to catch these fish consistently. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Tim used to catch these fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

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.
