October Bass Fishing Tips! (Day On The Water Bass Fishing A Highland Reservoir)

Jump in the boat with Tim for a day of Spotted Bass Fishing! The deck of the Skeeter FXR 21 is lined with rods and everyone one of them has a reaction bait tied on. From topwater, to underspins, to Bait Finesse, Tim is ready to target bass on this highland reservoir! It's going to be a lot of fun, let's go fishing!

This time of year we see bass ambushing baitfish around the country. This lake is no different, with Spotted Bass targeting both shad and blueback herring in open water. Tim has a variety of baits rigged up, all designed to capture the attention of these feisty spots while they're in a feeding mood. Watch closely as Tim keeps his rods ready at all times, crediting many of his bites to a quick reaction time to visible surface feeding.

Below you'll find links to all the baits Tim used in the video. We've also included links to his rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Potential State Record Trout While Bass Fishing!! (Smallmouth Fishing The PNW)

Jump in the boat with Jesse Kroetch as he explores a mountain reservoir! Watch how he locates fish, builds patterns, and catches not only bass, but world class trout as well! Beautiful scenery and aggressive fish makes for an awesome adventure!

Jesse pretty much caught them on every bait he picked up. He caught them on a ned rig, a swimbait, and everywhere in between. But the key to his success was his willingness to keep moving, and his desire to locate above average fish. The next time you're on the water, don't settle for second best, and you might be surprised what happens next!

Don't Let These 3 Mistakes Ruin Your Fall Fishing!!

Avoid these common mistakes to improve your Fall Fishing! Fall brings some amazing patterns to bass fishing. You can catch them shallow or deep, you can catch them on top, or with fast moving subsurface baits. This is one of the most fun times of year to fish! That said, there are some pitfalls that a lot of anglers fall into that can quickly ruin your Fall. Here's what you need to know!

The biggest mistake we see anglers make is they forget about Fall. What we mean is, they're so caught up in the struggles of September bass fishing, that when the bite starts changing, they aren't even looking for it. They're still out struggling on a tough pattern, not realizing that bass have moved shallow and the best bite of the year is happening in a cove around the corner! Don't get caught this year, keep pushing and searching for the Fall bite because if it hasn't already started on your lake, it's just around the corner.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we discussed in the video. We've included some of Tim's favorite baits for Fall fishing, especially some of the unique baits he's focusing in on this time of year. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
