When it comes to catch bass in the fall, anglers have a better chance of catching more fish. In the summer, small bass can be found in shallow or deep water. These fish are more likely to be caught near shore as the weather changes and the water temperature drops. During the fall, anglers should stick to jigs and spinnerbaits for optimum results.
Spinnerbaits
The retrieve rate of a spinnerbait is an important aspect of the technique. Anglers using a spinnerbait for fishing should take their time retrieving the bait. Fall action means most strikes happen during the bait's descent. Use a 3/4 oz bait to get maximum realistic results. When used in the fall, any bait that is heavier will be too slow to fall back. Moreover, a spinnerbait is best used to catch active bass, especially those located in areas with long sloping points, humps, or creek beds.
To catch a bass, a spinnerbait should mimic the action of a shad. A spinnerbait should be between 3/8 and 1/2 ounces in size. Fish it around the cover. You should use a medium retrieve speed. The rod tip should move every four to five turns. The rod tip can be paused to appear to be injured. This can be fooled by staged bass, and may even lure them to strike.
Swimbaits
Although using traditional hardbaits might seem tempting, they are usually found in close proximity to cover in five to 15 feet of water. Swimbaits work well to imitate baitfish. You need to use slow retrieves and a stop and go retrieve. To keep your lure in the area where bass typically feed, use a heavier weighted hook and retrieve it uphill. This will attract bass to your lure.
While swimbaits are a popular bait during fall fishing, they are not the only type of lure. Try using weedless ones in areas with grass and pads. Use weedless baits that appear as real as possible. Bass won't know the difference. A floating boot-tail is also a good choice. To attract bass, use a bait worm in the fall.
Jigs
Fall fishing is popular with jigs, but there are several key differences. The first is the weight of the lead head on the jig. The lighter the jig, the slower the fall rate. Heavy jigs are effective against heavy weeds and can pass through a vegetation canopy. Smaller jigs will work well in shallow water.
Depending on the size and shape of the jig, three eighth ounce and 1/2 oz. 1/2 oz. works well for slow falls. Reactionary bites will be better served by jigs. Using colors that mimic the forage bass feed on can be effective, especially green pumpkin and bamer craw. But, it is important to consider the depth of any water you are planning on fishing.
