These Fall Tricks Make Fish Bite!

When fish don't want to bite you can still make them react! Forget trying to fool bass into biting and use these tricks to draw a reaction strike instead! There are a handful of key baits that consistently draw reaction strikes, even as Fall begins to fade into Winter. 

Come along for a day on the water as Matt uses speed cranking and soft jerkbaits to trigger a feed response in wary bass. Not every day is a prime fishing day but if you know how to get bass to feed you can catch quality fish in tough conditions.  

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt was using throughout the video. He's included sizes, colors, hooks, as well as the exact rods he used to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fall Finesse Fishing For Big Spotted Bass!

Come along for a day on the water! We're building patterns and breaking down the lake while targeting big Spotted Bass! Tim is teaching his kids how to target Spotted Bass both around cover and offshore, and you have a unique opportunity to learn along with them!

These bass were primarily feeding in open water. Added flash goes a long way in that situation so the main bait today was a small underspin. Tim also successfully mixed in the Jerkbait (big fish of the day) and a unique spy bait with added flash. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were using. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

These Fall Mistakes Are Costing You Fish! (And How To Change Them)

If you're making these mistakes, fishing will be tough!!! Thankfully, there are simple adjustments you can make to start catching fish again! The Fall bite should be really good, so if you're not catching good fish every trip, pay close attention to these tips!

So many anglers take the easy path. They fish the same baits, the same patterns, and they only do it on days with nice weather. While this plan can work in Spring, its a huge mistake in Fall. You need to be adapting and following the fish to set yourself up for success through the Winter months. Focusing your attention on baits that trigger a feed response, be willing to move with the fish during tough weather, and focusing on patterns that will last through the seasonal changes.
