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.
