Top 5 Baits For September Bass Fishing!

These are the baits we trust to catch bass in September! Bass are headed into transition. As water temperatures drop, the bass move to their Fall haunts and begin feeding heavily on baitfish. If you're not paying attention, the fish can disappear so its important that you rely on baits that can cover water quickly to locate fish.Throw these baits with confidence in likely locations to find success all month long!

September can be amazing fishing! When you get around schooling fish the bite is like nothing else! Topwater fish, crankbait, fish, and swimbait fish, are all realistic during this period. We spend very little time finesse fishing in September, instead leaning on fast moving, power fishing techniques to get consistent bites. The best part about September is that as you build patterns toward the end of the month, those patterns are likely to last all the way through the Fall and into the beginning of Winter.

Below you'll find links to the baits Tim discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each lure so you can fish them with confidence. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Soft Jerkbait Tricks You Need To Try! (Plus Underwater Fluke Fishing Footage)

There may be no better bait to target aggressive bass than a fluke! You can fish it quickly as a topwater, twitch it as a jerkbait, slow fish it like a weightless worm, and even Carolina rig it! The soft jerkbait's ability to adapt puts it in a close of its own! This bait should be in every angler's late season arsenal and today we're going to show you how to adapt it to your lake's conditions.

Most anglers fish a soft jerkbait but few realize its true potential. With a simple hook adjustment this bait can become a topwater. With another adjustment you can suddenly throw it with the lightest of tackle, or the heaviest of gear. It can be Texas rigged in heavy cover, nose hooked in clear water, or be "donkey rigged" and fished around active bass. Most anglers use the Fluke but few know how to keep fishing eating it day after day.

Below you'll find links to the all the baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and rigging components for each. We've also included some of our favorite soft jerkbait combos for the different rigging methods.
