The EASIEST Trick For EARLY FALL Bass Fishing!

Want to catch more fish this Fall?! It's this easy!! The key is to stand out from the thousands of minnows, baitfish, and juvenile panfish in the shallows this Fall, is to add flash and vibration to your lure. We achieve this by adding additional blades to our lures. A simple will blade can add incredible flash and vibration that can instantly take your fishing to the next level!

We know this sounds too easy, but it's the truth! The simple addition of a blade not only adds flash and vibration, it causes other baitfish to stay away from your lure, leaving it in plain sight for the bass. Fall bass are generally feeding aggressively, they just need to notice your lure out of the thousands of real meals swimming around below the surface. Baits like underspins, spinnerbaits, and Alabama Rigs will give you the upper hand this Fall.

Below we'll link our favorite baits, favorite modifications and components, as well as some great budget–friendly combos for fishing these techniques effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Breaking Down A New Lake To Find And Catch Bass!

We're exploring a new lake, come along! New lakes are always an adventure, and today is no different. We started off with big baits and big expectations, but soon realized we'd need to adapt to succeed. Watch how Matt breaks down the water, develops multiple patterns, and catches fish.

By the end of the day Matt and his dad have developed 4 unique patterns that are all producing quality bites. Without question, the Shakey Head worm on outside cover is producing the best quality fish, but in the end Matt opts to move shallow and have fun targeting fish with bait finesse gear.

Below you'll find links to all the baits Matt and his dad used throughout the day. We've included the exact rod and reel combos, as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Free Rig Fishing For Bass! Tips And Tricks To Catch More Fish This Fall!!

Have you tried the "Free Rig" yet? This rig takes the traditional "Texas Rig" to a whole new level! Give your bait more freedom, allow for slower falls, and catches a ton of fish this time of year! If you haven't tried the Free Rig, this is the right time of year to experiment with it. It's a fish catcher!!

The Free Rig isn't new, but is continuing to gain popularity, especially as grass begins dying back in the Fall. This rig shines around hard cover and will produce bites long after bass have become leery of traditional presentations. The benefit of this rig is it allows your bait to fall very slowly, while still keeping great contact with the bottom.

Below you'll find links to Tim's favorite baits for free rigging, along with the gear he uses to fish them effectively. We've also included our favorite colors for each bait to help you get started. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Incredible Fall Transition Bass Fishing Tips! Jesse Kroetch – Tactical Family

Let's head to the Pacific Northwest and jump in the boat with Jesse Kroetch! Jesse is on a unique fishery that mirrors a lot of what we see across the Southern US, with smallmouth in fast water by the dams, and largemouth on expansive grass flats downstream. He's on an awesome river bite for both species, you don't want to miss this!

Rivers present more challenges than lakes, but they also have great potential for success. Bass that live in rivers tend to be stronger and more aggressive than their lake–raised cousins. Today Jesse takes a 2–pronged approach. He begins his day by the dam, where fish are smaller but aggressive. He targets them effectively with topwater, a Karashi, a swimbait, and a jerkbait. Later he turns his attention to downstream grass and the big fish start coming into the boat!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear he used throughout the day. We've included exact lure colors, as well as the rod and reel combos Jesse used to land his fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
