Top 5 Baits For September Bass Fishing!

These are the baits we trust to catch bass in September! Bass are transitioning to Fall patterns as water temperatures drop, and they're 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 and you'll catch fish all month long!

September can be amazing fishing! When you get around schooling fish the bite is like nothing else! Topwater, crankbaits, swimbaits, they're all viable options. 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.

Don't Make These Late Summer Mistakes! They'll Wreck Your Fall Fishing Too!

Mistakes happen, but these 3 can wreck your fishing! If you want to catch more fish as we enter the Summer to Fall transition, you need to avoid these mistakes at all costs! Luckily, we can show you what to watch out for, and how to turn this into one of your favorite times of year!

Late Summer can be a difficult time to fish. Most anglers react by slowing down and fishing places where they've been successful in the past. While that seems wise on the surface, it's the worst decision you can make! Instead, focus your time on new patterns, covering water, and fishing quickly. To be even more successful, focus your attention on the extremes of lure size by focusing on small presentations or big swimbaits.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits we use this time of year. We've even included some great budget rod and reel combos to help you fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Targeting Bigger Bass In Late Summer! These Tips Really Work!!

Late August isn't known as a "big bass" time of year... until now! Come along for an awesome evening on the water as Tim catches BIG largemouth after adapting to changing conditions. He didn't go out planning to pick up a spinning rod, but its what the conditions required.

Tim headed out with a plan to frog and fish heavy cover. The conditions weren't lining up, and once he set his preconceived notions aside and fished the conditions, he was rewarded in a big way! The next time you're on the water and you're struggling, take a step back and evaluate whether you should power through, or adapt. You just never know what could be waiting when you do!

Soft Jerkbait Tricks You Need To Try!

The Fluke is one of the best bass fishing lures of all time! You can fish a soft jerkbait 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 category of its own, and it deserves to be in every angler's arsenal!

Most anglers fish a soft jerkbait but few realize its true potential. With a simple hook adjustment this bait can become a topwater or a subsurface bait. It can be Texas rigged in heavy cover, nose hooked in clear water, or be "donkey rigged" and fished around schooling fish. Most anglers use the Fluke, but few know how to keep fishing biting with simple adjustments.

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.
