Summer Crankbaits That Keep Catching Fish During The Fall Transition!

The Fall transition is crankbait time! Today we're taking a quick look at some of the best baits for fishing through the transition as we approach Fall. As night time temperatures begin to drop, bass focus heavily on bait fish and these baits will help you capitalize! The best news is, this time of year doesn't require new baits, we'll show you how to adapt some of the baits you've already been fishing.

If you're not fishing crankbaits during this transition time, you're missing some of the easiest fish catches of the year. Bass are targeting baitfish from deep to shallow and covering water with a crankbait is an easy way to catch them. Focus your attention on baitfish colors with the occasional shad pattern mixed in, for the best success.

Below you'll find links to the baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite colors for each lure, as well as some great rod and reel combos for fishing these lures effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Cold Water Bass Fishing Tricks! 19 Degrees and We're Still Power Fishing!!

Come along for a wild day on the water!! Its 19 degrees but the fish are biting! Matt is using a high speed reel in freezing cold temperatures to trigger a feed response in Bass when nothing else is working! This trick works and you can do it too!!

We talk a lot about the power of speed cranking in cold water. Today you get to see it first hand! Matt manages to catch a couple jig fish along the way but for the most part can't get bit on anything. When he picks up the crankbait on an 8:1 reel and starts burning it, the fish start reacting!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits we used throughout the day. We've included information like weight, color, trailers, as well as the gear we were using to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
