This Topwater Trick Hooks For Fish! (And More Fall Fishing Tips)

Catch more fish this Fall with this one tip! It makes all the difference! Fall fishing is so much fun but there are so many subtle details that make the difference. Today Tim is on the water with his boys and he's teaching them the fine details of topwater fishing for Spotted Bass. There is a lot of great information flying by but one topwater tip in particular takes the cake, did you hear it?

This is such a great example of Fall junk fishing. Some bass are chasing baitfish in 70 feet of water, others are sitting on offshore structure, and still more are up shallow on docks. You can catch them almost any way you want, but taking the time to dial in multiple techniques is what changes a good day into a GREAT day! This is the time of year when attention to detail is everything so don't let your guard down and keep adjusting to changing conditions.

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

How To Catch Open Water Bass! (When Others Are Giving Up)

Yes, those really are bass busting in open water! And yes, you can catch them! So many anglers pass on these fish because they don't understand what the bass are doing out there, and they have no idea how to target them. Here's what you need to know...

Catching open water bass is an art form. Once you've got it figured out, you've conquered the last frontier of bass fishing and the sky is the limit! Some of the largest, most unpressured fish in our lakes roam the open water, especially in Fall. These giants are rarely caught but its not because it can't be done, its because anglers are afraid to try. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we use for this fishing style. Again, the biggest tip is to use light line and smooth braid so you can cover more water effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
