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.

Crankbait Tricks For Late Summer!

The crankbait is becoming a major factor again as we begin the early Fall transition! The arrival of the first cool nights in Late Summer tells us that bass are on the move again and fast moving baits will be key. Crankbaits cover our boat decks during this time of year and you should be using them too!

While crankbaits work all Summer, they are at their peak in Late Summer as water temperatures begin dropping. We focus our efforts on Shallow square bills and medium deep divers during this period so we can cover water quickly and draw aggressive reaction strikes. The right bait for the job is dictated by the depth of water you're fishing and how aggressively the fish are reacting. For deeper baits, focus your attention on deep transitions near the edges of grass flats, channel bends, and humps. For shallow fish, focus on lanes in the grass and the first hard cover near grass flats. 

Below you'll find links to our favorite baits for this style of fishing. We've included our favorite colors for each, as well as the exact gear we use to fish the baits with ease and keep big fish hooked when they bite. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos an descriptions of each item.
