Bass fishing in the fall?

Featured Replies

Hey guys, i fish a river that has perch, bass and pickerel in it. I also fish another area which is a large closed off man made pond with 2-6lbers in it. The river is slow moving, if it moves at all. It's a reservoir run off at the end of a dam, but it's long and holds fish that fall in. The other area has lilly pads and cat tails all along it. What would be good to use when the air temperature (don't know water temperature) is around 60. I'll list what i have.

-Toads & topwater frogs

-Plastic worms

-Spinner baits of all colors and blades

-buzz baits

-rapalas, jitterbugs, spooks, cranks (lip and lipless)

-a few poppers

-some spinners

-dardevles and phoebes

Actually, everything you mentioned will catch fish at different times throughout the day.

They are still biting in VT.

1) fat IKAs, worms & tubes (normally some version of watermelon or black depending on light)

2) bitsy bug jig & baby rage craw

3) Jerkbait (LC pointer, Husky Jerk & xRap in that order)

4) cranks that match the local dinner special

Tight lines!

Jigs, jerkbaits, and tight-wobble cranks

That usually is all you will need in fall

Your list encompasses lures that I use throughout the entire year.

Not saying that these won't work in the fall, but some better than others.

This fall I have been primarily using spinnerbaits, jigs, and senkos.

These lures have all been working for me, but different water also means different lures in some cases.
