Top 5 Baits For November Bass Fishing!

November is a transitional month and the fishing is amazing! Bass are aggressive in November, and today we'll show you how to catch them. You can fish for bass shallow or deep, in coves and pockets, or out on points. You can catch them chasing baitfish or gathering on offshore structure. Winter is coming, don't miss this opportunity to power fish!

All you have to do in November is decide which group of fish you want to chase. Do you want to go shallow while there is still a topwater bite? Do you want to go deep and start locating the spots that bass will hold on through the Winter? The options are endless and so are the baits we use to target them!

Below you'll find links to Matt's top bait choices, by category. We've also included a few budget–friendly rod and reel combos to help fish them effectively.  All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

3 Jig And Minnow Tricks For November Bass Fishing!

Strolling a jig and minnow is an amazing option for Fall bass. This technique took bass fishing by storm over the last 2 years and is still as effective today as when the trend began. As water cools in Fall, the details of how you work your baits becomes more and more critical. Today Tim is diving into the world of strolling, and giving you some key tips to help you catch more fish.

In late Fall, keep these 3 tips in mind to catch more fish:

1) Don't overwork your minnow.

2) Depth Control is critical.

3) Adjust cadence with water temperature.

Strolling is as easy as throwing a bait out, letting it fall, then reeling with one hand and steadily shaking with the other. However, if you put more time into it and really dial in your cadence, head weight, and bait selection, you'll be shocked how many more fish you can catch.

Below you'll find links to the minnows, heads, and gear Tim discussed in the video. We've included his favorite colors and sizes for each, as well as the exact rod and reel combos he's using to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Find Fish On A New Lake! ( Bass Fishing Lake Mead With Adam Hinkle )

Adam Hinkle is pre fishing for a tournament on Lake Mead and he's taking you along for the ride! This enormous lake is a bass fishing paradise, but only after you find the fish. Watch how Adam breaks down water quickly, builds patterns, and catches fish.

It's no surprise (if you know Adam) that his first bait is a squarebill. Once he's identified a pattern he expands with a deeper diving bait, and a glide bait, all before he ever slows his presentation. Listen closely to the details he's outlining about the positioning of each fish and what that means for future bites.

Below you'll find links to the baits Adam was throwing, a few of his other confidence baits, as well as some great rod and reel combos for fishing these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fall Bass Fishing! Plus Giant Striped Bass On Glide Baits!

Jump in the boat with Matt and Ryan for an INSANE day on the water! The guys are targeting a mix of species, beginning with Largemouth and ending with HUGE Striped bass! It’s going to be a wild day, catching fish on everything from finesse baits, to huge swimbaits. Let’s go!

We spend the majority of our time targeting bass, but when the stripers show up in Fall, we love to chase them too! These giant predators can be targeted with small baits on spinning tackle (like the minnow), or big offerings like paddle tail swimbaits and glide baits. Today is one of those days when they’re willing to eat it all!

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact colors, hook upgrades, as well as the rod and reel combos that landed these brutes.
