4 Bass Fishing Mistakes We All Make Right Now! (And How To Change Them)
We all make the same mistakes! Learn from ours, so you can catch more fish! Late Summer and the Early Fall transition can be a complicated time to fish for bass. Its even more complicated if you fall into these common pitfalls! Instead of making the same mistakes over and over, here are some key tips to help you catch way more fish on your next trip!
We love to focus on the positive, so while this video is about mistakes; its also full of solutions. Focus on covering water with finesse baits or going big with large swimbaits. Avoid the mid-sized baits unless you're trying a unique bait that other guys aren't throwing. There are some very simple ways to catch fish as we approach the Fall transition, you just need to recognize what's happening and adapt accordingly.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits we're discussing in the video. We've included our favorite heads and rigging components where applicable, along with some budget-friendly gear to help you catch more fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
