Bait Finesse Fishing For Early Fall Bass! These Finesse Tricks Really Work!!

Check this out! These TINY baits catch bass all through the Early Fall Transition! If you're tired of struggling and you want to try something different, come along on Matt's boat and watch how easy it is to downsize your presentation to catch more fish, and have more fun!

Whether you're struggling through the Fall transition, you can tell your bass are targeting small baitfish, or you live on a lake that doesn't have many big fish, whatever the reason; bait finesse is the solution! Quit fighting the trend, tie on a small bait, and give it a shot. There's a reason Matt puts the big baits down and picks up these small profiles in the Fall.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt fished throughout the day. We've included the exact colors, as well as the rods and reels he used to catch fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

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.
