Fall Fishing Tricks To Keep Catching Fish! (Finesse And Reaction)

Come along for a day of Fall fishing! Tim is on the water with bluebird skies and slick calm conditions. He intends to catch them on reaction, but quickly realizes the fish aren't in the mood. Learn as he adapts and puts together a quality limit of fish with a variety of power and finesse presentations.

We all love to power fish in Fall, but some days fish aren't in the mood. When Tim was faced with slick calm conditions, he turned to bait finesse rods and spinning rods to keep catching fish. From a dropshot to a Neko, finesse jig to shakey head, he adapted to changing conditions and kept catching fish. You can do this too!
