Catch More Bass In Early Fall With These 3 Quick Tips!

Fall bass fishing is amazing! Some of the best fishing of the year happens during the Fall cool down and most anglers miss it! Bass are focused on baitfish and the fishing can be incredible! Whether you're an old school angler who likes to relax, or a modern fisherman using the hottest new electronics, there are great opportunities for you to catch more fish.

We use a combination of visual keys and electronics advantages this time of year to maximize our time on the water. Watching for baitfish, schooling activity, and birds, can all lead to amazing opportunities. Conversely, using side imaging and forward facing sonar to quickly locate fish around open water baitfish schools is an incredible opportunity to catch fish quickly. Don't pigeon hole yourself this time of year, as both of these methods can lead to more fish catches.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim discussed in the video. We've included the exact baits and colors, as well as some great rod and reel combos to help you fish these baits effectively.

September Bass Fishing Tricks! How To Catch Bass Around Cover And In Open Water!

Jump in the boat with Tim for a fun day of bass fishing! He's on a reservoir that has great shallow cover fishing, but also has open water Spotted Bass. Watch how he develops several patterns to target these fish, putting together a great bag in a few hours of fishing.

Tim could have spent the whole day shallow targeting bass with a Karashi and Senko, but the offshore fish were too tempting. It didn't take long for him to locate fish that were anxious to eat a topwater bait over open water. This time of year can produce amazing fishing if you know where to look for these bass. Tim focused on suspended fish off the end of main lake points.

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

Today we're diving deep into the issues with urchin rigging, particularly bass mortality, and covering 5 rigging methods that will help you solve the problems.

We're covering how to properly rig a frog hook, a treble hook, a quad hook, single hooks, as well as a weighted rig you haven't seen anyone use yet. We're watching underwater to see how weighting and balancing changes these baits, and including detailed notes on the components for each rig.
