Fishing Natural Ponds Using Jerkbaits In Late Fall

After fishing Cape Cod's natural ponds for a number of years and I can attest; fishing with jerkbaits from early spring through late fall (as well as a lot of other baits) can be phenomenal.

In this video, two avid Cape bass anglers seem to have more of a pickerel than bass bite happening even though they were targeting late fall bass. Looks like they're on a Cape pond I am very fond of (Santuit Pond in Mashpee) which can be great anytime of year.

A key type of cover from late spring right through fall is the abundant green submerged weed beds. As long as these bass havens remain vibrant and haven’t fallen prey to cooling temperatures and shortening daylight periods of the late fall, they remain “bass and pickerel magnets”.

Take a moment and see how peaceful bass fishing on Cape Cod really is (despite the sometimes annoying accents  )…

So the next time you head out east and find yourself on the Cape, be sure to make some time and hit some of the best largemouth and smallmouth bass water aorund!
