Fall Fishing Tricks To Keep Catching Fish! (Finesse And Reaction)

Come along for a day of Fall fishing! Tim is on the water with bluebird skies and slick calm conditions. He intends to catch them on reaction, but quickly realizes the fish aren't in the mood. Learn as he adapts and puts together a quality limit of fish with a variety of power and finesse presentations.

We all love to power fish in Fall, but some days fish aren't in the mood. When Tim was faced with slick calm conditions, he turned to bait finesse rods and spinning rods to keep catching fish. From a dropshot to a Neko, finesse jig to shakey head, he adapted to changing conditions and kept catching fish. You can do this too!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

This Simple Lure Trick Makes Fall Bass Fishing Easy!

Want to catch more fish this Fall? It's much easier than you think! If your bass are chasing baitfish, the addition of a blade to your favorite lure will have a shocking impact on your catch rate! The biggest issue in Fall is distracting bass away from the 1000's of real baitfish, to get them to focus on your lure. A small blade does an amazing job of getting their attention!

Whether you throw swimbaits, Alabama Rigs, crankbaits, or any other soft bait, adding a blade is simple to do. The Tactical duo loves throwing swimbaits, but this time of year they focus almost entirely on underspins. Now you know why!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, heads, and terminal upgrades that Tim recommends. We've also included some great budget rod and reel options for fishing these baits effectively.

Fishing For Bass, Striped Bass And Other Predator Species With Artificial Lures! (Tennessee)

Come along for an awesome day of fishing! Matt is targeting Striper, AKA Striped Bass, AKA Rock Fish, but that’s not all he catches! From big largemouth to big catfish, it’s a day filled with screaming drags and big fish! Many anglers target these fish with bait, but the guys at TacticalBassin enjoy catching these predatory fish with the same baits they use to target big largemouth bass.

Striped Bass provide a saltwater-like experience, without the expense of driving to the ocean. If you’re looking to try something different, give striper fishing a try. They’re going to rip drag and bend hooks, so be ready! While many anglers bait fish for these species, we choose to target them with swimbaits, Alabama Rigs, and even mid strolling baits.

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits Matt used throughout the day. We’ve included the exact sizes and colors, along with the rods and reels he used to muscle these fish to the boat. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
