Fall arrives with both the air and water temperatures starting to cool. Not only do we get the benefit of more comfortable conditions but so will all fish species in bass reservoirs across the land!
Changing environments cause bass to alter their behavior as well. Knowing how these changes impact your favorite reservoir’s bass locations and actions can definitely help improve your bass fishing success.
One of the best things about bass fishing in the fall..
It’s another time of year when all bass have the “feed bag” on as they prepare for the winter slowdown. A great time to catch not only lots of bass but a true wall-hanger too!
Here is a peek at five fall bass fishing tips to use on your next fall bassin’ trip:
- With the summer heat waning, both largemouth and smallmouth bass start drifting back to the shallows from their deeper water haunts; focus much of your time on the deep to shallow water transition areas…
- Fish deep diving crankbaits, heavier jigs and carolina rigs or drop shots when targeting deep points by starting deep and working shallow during mid-day hours…
- If fishing rocky shallow tapering points or flats, use suspending jerkbaits, lipless crankbaits, spinnerbaits or a swim jig for covering the water quickly…
- Both species of bass are often roaming to feed on scattered pods of baitfish so stay mobile unless you locate a concentration of bass on structure It’s always a great idea to keep one rod rigged with a heavy metal spoon so you’re ready for schooling bait…
- When fishing shallower bays with healthy vegetation, a weedless frog can be a killer but keep another weedless sinking bait (sinking worms like the Senko work great for this) for the bass that strike but miss …
And one last super-secret tip for the your favorite bass reservoir …
Don’t forget to check out the areas around old submerged structures (roadbeds, foundations, etc.) as these can be fish magnets during the fall season!
