Don't Make This TINY Mistake! (Bait Finesse Tricks For Fall Transition Bass Fishing)

Have you tried this trick to catch more bass during the Summer to Fall Transition? Downsizing your bait works! As water temperatures begin to cool, bass target juvenile baitfish for an easy meal. Don't get left behind on the easiest bite this season!

If you understand where this is happening and which baits to throw, the early Fall transition gets a lot easier! Most anglers fail to realize what's happening and get frustrated as they watch bass feed, while their lures get ignored. SIZE IS KEY! The smaller the bait, the better the match to what the bass are actually eating!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we discussed in the video. We've included our favorite colors for each, as well as the specifics on our favorite bait finesse rod and reel combos in different price ranges.

Targeting Bass With Summer Swimbaits! (Big And Small)

The bass are big and the bite is on fire! Let's go fishing!! Come along with us for a fun day on the water as we explore a new lake! It doesn't take long to find out there are both Largemouth and Smallmouth in this lake, and things really take a turn when Matt figures out they'll eat the Magdraft Swimbait!

It's always a challenge to find fish in a new lake. Step one is to fish likely locations, step two is to build a pattern, step three is to repeat. On this day it doesn't take long to find some aggressive Smallmouth, but thankfully Matt and CC didn't settled there and kept hunting, because the story of this lake is quality largemouth!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. From the baits, to the colors, to the map card we're using to find the points, we've linked it, to help you fish with confidence on your location fisheries.

RAW BASS FISHING! Serious Fish Catching And Finesse Fishing Knowledge!

Have you ever caught this many bass, this quickly?! Tim is headed out for an afternoon on the lake and he's bringing you along for the fun! It takes him no time to find some giant schools of aggressive bass and the catching ensues! Listen closely as he talks through his mindset, his approach, and the specifics of the baits he's using.

This day is all about finesse. Tim is focused on swimbaits, spy baits, hair jigs, and tubes, to keep the fish biting. Consistently cycling through baits is key to keeping the schools of fish active. They're on isolated areas in open water, specifically chunk rock and rock to sand transitions, so these fish would be easily overlooked by an angler who was simply fishing the bank.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Tim used throughout the day. From the specific colors, to the rigging components, to the rod and reel combos, we've linked it all. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
