These 3 Mistakes Will Ruin Your Fall Fishing! (How To Avoid Them)

We all make mistakes but these 3 will mess up your whole Fall! If you want to catch more fish as we enter the Summer to Fall transition, you need to avoid these mistakes at all costs! Luckily, we've got some alternatives that are going to help you be successful.

This can be a difficult time of year and most anglers react by slowing down and fishing places where they've been successful in the past. While that seems wise on the surface, it's the worst decision you can make as we head into the transition. Instead, focus your time on new patterns, covering water, and fishing quickly. To be even more successful, focus your attention on the extremes of lure size by focusing on small presentations or big swimbaits.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we discussed in the video. We've even included some great budget rod and reel combos to help you fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Don't Make These Summer Fishing Mistakes! (And How To Catch Fish On Hot Days)

Don't make these mistakes! Summer bass fishing is tough enough without being your own worst enemy. If you can avoid these 5 common fishing mistakes, you will absolutely catch more fish this Summer! 

Summer fishing success is in the details. Paying close attention to conditions and timing is the difference between a great day on the water and just catching a sun burn. Here are Tim's top 5 mistakes he recommends you change as soon as possible. 

1) Timing – Best Bites Happen Midday

2) Not All Shade Is Created Equal – Find Shade Near Structure

3) Not All Docks Are The Same – Biggest/Darkest Shade Is Key

4) Throw Reaction But Don't Forget Finesse

5) Night Fishing – Fish Later For More Success

Below you'll find links to our favorite Summer baits. We've included them as recommendations to help you be more successful as you strive to avoid these mistakes. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can find detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

These Fall Mistakes Are Costing You Fish! (And How To Change Them)

If you're making these mistakes, fishing will be tough!!! Thankfully, there are simple adjustments you can make to start catching fish again! The Fall bite should be really good, so if you're not catching good fish every trip, pay close attention to these tips!

So many anglers take the easy path. They fish the same baits, the same patterns, and they only do it on days with nice weather. While this plan can work in Spring, its a huge mistake in Fall. You need to be adapting and following the fish to set yourself up for success through the Winter months. Focusing your attention on baits that trigger a feed response, be willing to move with the fish during tough weather, and focusing on patterns that will last through the seasonal changes. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we use to adapt to changing conditions in Fall. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
