Super User Swamp Girl Posted October 30, 2023 Super User Share Posted October 30, 2023 GMan gets to the point FAST and I appreciate that, however I did fish lipless, squarebills, and spinnerbaits fast this fall and had little success with that. I caught plenty of bass and some nice ones, but not by fishing fast. Still, I'll try speed again next fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User WRB Posted October 30, 2023 Super User Share Posted October 30, 2023 Keep in mind Swindle is focused on larger impoundments with multiple creek arms and Shad for baitfish. Agree in general if you can find active bass feeding, otherwise you may need to grind it out with slower moving soft plastics and jigs. Both fast and slow work for me.

Super User Tennessee Boy Posted October 30, 2023 Super User Share Posted October 30, 2023 Good advice in the video. I noticed from looking at his jersey that Dude Wipes is one of his sponsors. Does he have a video on how to use them? 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree its slow and methodical in the Fall which produces success in my parts as well but Gman is right first gotta find the fish before settling yerself down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxfisher Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I think that fishing for smallmouth out here is just very different from all the fall advice I see both on this video in pretty much everywhere else. I speed/power fish all summer long but come fall I need to slow way down to catch smallmouth. In the fall the only reliable smallmouth catchers for me are things like drop shots, Ned rigs, swinghead jigs and a blade bait (that is a new one for me so the jury is still a bit out on it). I try topwater and usually catch on fish per trip. The smallmouth out here are not shallow in the fall. There are schools of shad fry heading down the river but they are everywhere, and I am more likely to find them over deeper water than shallow. I think the normal behavior out here is for the fish to sit in 15-30' of water eating crayfish and when a school of bait comes by maybe they come up and eat some. The fish I do catch will sometimes puke up some shad fry but I am catching them out of deeper water and the balls of shad fry are usually suspended 5-10' deep. I try throwing medium running baits through the shad balls but I never seem to have much success with that. I keep thinking I should try an A-rig but that is a bit of nightmare in a kayak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User T-Billy Posted October 31, 2023 Super User Share Posted October 31, 2023 Fall for me is either cranks or rigs on windblown rip rap, or jigs/trigs in shallow wood and weeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Bankbeater Posted November 4, 2023 Super User Share Posted November 4, 2023 Good video. Around here the bass are running the baitfish up into the shallow flats, and up next to the shore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
