Where Do Bass Go In Fall? (And Easy Ways To Catch Them)
Fall Bass fishing is amazing! Bass are feeding in large schools and BIG bass are mixed in with them! Understanding how they position and what motivates their movements is key to consistently catching fish. Today Matt is explaining where bass position in Lowland and Highland Reservoirs, as well as natural lakes, ponds, and rivers. Each environment is different but when you understand what motivates these fish, you can catch them consistently.
Fall bass are separated into two groups in any large body of water. You have shallow bass that are focused around backs of creeks and coves, along grass lines, and up against hard cover. You also have deep bass that are focused on bluff walls, creek channel bends, and long tapering points. Both groups of fish are fun to target but each group requires different baits to catch them consistently.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video. They're listed in the exact order they appeared in the video, along with specifics on size and color. We've also included some of our favorite gear for fishing this time of year. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
