4 Techniques That Always Catch Bass In Fall!

Come along for a day on the water with Tim! He recently had a tough day on this lake and instead of giving up, he came back to dial it in. Watch as he quickly adapts to the water conditions, builds 4 unique patterns, and walks you through all of this decision making along the way.

From offshore electronics fishing, to shallow flipping, this video is a testament to how many ways you can catch fish in the Fall. It would have been easy for Tim to settle in to a single pattern and catch fish, but after his recent struggle, he was on a mission to identify multiple patterns and catch a variety of fish.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits he fished throughout the day. We've included details on sizes, colors, as well as the rods and reels he used to fish them effectively.

Free Rig Fishing For Bass! Tips And Tricks + Underwater Footage!!

Have you tried the "Free Rig" yet? This rig plays off the traditional Texas rig and will give your bait more freedom, allow for slower falls, and catches a ton of fish this time of year! If you haven't tried the Free Rig, this is the right time of year to experiment with it. It's a fish catcher and it's here to stay!

The Free Rig isn't new, but is continuing to gain popularity, especially as grass begins dying back in the Fall. This rig shines around hard cover and will produce long after bass have become leery of traditional presentations. The benefit of this rig is it allows your bait to fall very slowly, while still keeping great contact with the bottom.

Below you'll find links to Tim's favorite baits for free rigging, along with the gear he uses to fish them effectively. We've also included our favorite colors for each bait to help you get started. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

This Trick Catches Spring Bass When Its Tough! (Fishing The Extremes)

Come along for a fun day of bass fishing! Tim starts out catching fish with a free rig, but when the bite slows in the afternoon he turns to one of our favorite tricks! He pulls out the two extremes, in this case its a Magdraft Swimbait (big bait) and a Karashi (micro bait), and uses that combination to locate and catch fish long after the bite window had closed.

Using the "two extremes" approach will almost always show you where the fish are. Often times they'll eat the big bait, but if they're not willing to bite they're still likely to follow. The micro bait doesn't have the drawing power, but if you get it around the fish they're sure to eat it. This combination allows you to find the fish, then catch them, even when the bite is tough. Keep it in mind the next time you're fishing and the bite comes to an abrupt halt.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim used throughout the day. We've also included the rods and reels he relied on for the various lures. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Bass Fishing Is Changing!! You Need To Learn These 3 Rigs!!

Don't get left behind! Bass fishing is changing faster than ever before! Over the past couple years, these 3 rigs have exploded onto the stage and are taking over bass fishing. If you're a tournament angler, you need to know how to do them. If you're a fun fisherman, it's still a really good idea to figure these "new" techniques out, and add them to your arsenal.
