Fall Fishing Tricks To Keep Catching Fish! (Finesse And Reaction)

Come along for a day of Fall fishing! Tim is on the water with bluebird skies and slick calm conditions. He intends to catch them on reaction, but quickly realizes the fish aren't in the mood. Learn as he adapts and puts together a quality limit of fish with a variety of power and finesse presentations.

We all love to power fish in Fall, but some days fish aren't in the mood. When Tim was faced with slick calm conditions, he turned to bait finesse rods and spinning rods to keep catching fish. From a dropshot to a Neko, finesse jig to shakey head, he adapted to changing conditions and kept catching fish. You can do this too!

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

Spy Bait Fishing: Everything You Need To Know (And Why You Should Give Them Another Try)

Spy baits are one of the most underrated lures in bass fishing! Their ability to catch big fish in both clear and stained water, makes them a staple in our bass fishing line up. There aren't many baits that are this good, that go relatively unnoticed by the majority of anglers. From fan casting flats, to ledge fishing, to targeting schooling fish, the spy bait should have a place in your tackle box.

It's amazing how many anglers look right past the spybait. And honestly, we get it. To the eye, they don't look like they have much action, and unless you've given them a fair shot, you don't realize that big fish devour them. But now you know, and you really need to put time in with these little gems, because you better believe the competition is going to! From the smaller 70 and 80 sizes for Smallmouth and Spotted Bass, to the larger 90 and 100 sizes for big Largemouth, these baits have earned their place on the deck of the boat.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits we discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, hook upgrades, as well as the rod and reel combos we use to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Power Fishing VS Finesse Fishing: Finding Bass In A New Lake!

Come along for an awesome day on the water! Matt, Tim, and JD are exploring a new lake and they're taking you along for the fun! Watch as they find two distinct patterns... one with a big swimbait, and the other with small finesse baits. Both options prove to be very effective as they cover water in search of quality bass in this new lake!

Breaking down new water can be overwhelming. It's hard to know where to start or what to throw. Today the guys came out with a plan; cover as much water as possible! With this approach in mind they tied on everything from a swimbait, to a chatterbait, to a spy bait. It didn't take long to start getting bit and before long, they'd developed a wide open pattern for catching quality largemouth!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys used throughout the day. We included details on bait sizes and colors, hook upgrades, as well as the rod and reel combos they used to fish the baits effectively.
