Best Bass Lures for Fishing the Mid Fall

November is a great mid fall month for bass fishing across the U.S. since the fish are starting to fatten up for winter. Keep in mind, however, mid fall brings colder water temperatures making bass more lethargic, so it's important to choose the right lures and presentations for the greatest success.

Strike King bass pro Steve Rogers loves fishing for fall bass and has some interesting thoughts on the best baits to use for the best results. Take a few minutes and watch as Steve describes the baits and the reasons behind his selections:

In addition to the baits Steve mentions, I have three additional lures at the ready when fishing the mid fall period:

  1. A finesse sized suspending jerkbait typically in a perch or shiner pattern to mimic local forage;
  2. A 4" soft stickbait in a pattern suitable for the water color in the body of water being fished; &
  3. A compact or finesse style spinnerbait usually in color patterns similat to the jerkbait.
Each of these have been proven bass catchers as the mid fall water temps slide from the low 50s and into the mid to upper 40s in my local waters here in the northeastern U.S.
