How To Catch Shallow Bass In The Fall!!

Shallow bass can be tough! You see them chasing baitfish in the backs of coves or splashing around grass edges but can you catch them? Sure you can! These are the tricks we use to catch shallow fish all through the Fall!

Bass have seen a lot of lures by Mid Fall. If they've been living in the shallows they've seen worms, topwater, crankbaits, and a variety of other lures on a daily basis. These fish are educated and wary but they still need to eat! We rely on downsized presentations with key sounds and colors to draw reaction strikes from these shallow water bass. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim discussed in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see photos and descriptions of each item. We've even included some of our favorite rods for throwing the different lures.

Fall Fishing For Bass Is Easy!! (Here's How We Do It)

The bite is on, the fish are biting, and we're having a blast!! You don't want to miss this! We're on the water today catching fish on all the techniques we've been talking about lately! From big swimbaits to crankbaits, to topwater and finesse, we're showing you exactly why we cover these topics in the Fall! 

Its easy to latch on to a single technique, especially when its working. Today we're reminding you that you can always break the mold, try something different, and build new patterns. Our day started off with a glide bait and a lipless and ended with a squarebill and a topwater. Fall bass fishing is all about reading the conditions and adapting to change.

Top 5 Baits for November Bass Fishing!

Bass fishing is awesome in November! There are bass all over and they're all feeding! You can catch them shallow or you can catch them deep. You can catch them near current, or out on points. You can catch them chasing bait or gathering on offshore structure! This transitional month is a great time to be on the water!

All you have to do in November is decide which group of fish you want to chase. Do you want to go shallow while there is still a topwater bite? Do you want to go deep and start locating the haunts your fish will use all Winter? The options are endless and so are the baits we use to target them!
