Bass Fishing In Late Fall
When late fall comes around most anglers slow down on their fishing. Yes, the catch may be slower but you have to remember one thing: the last thing a bass wants to do in the late fall is go deep, even with a cold front as long as there is plenty of shallow cover. Wood is an excellent place to find bass in the late fall, especially around submerged and laydown trees.
Here are 8 great tips to help you out with your fall bass fishing adventure:
- Jigs, spinnerbaits, small crankbaits like the Little N, all are good lures to use for fall bass fishing.
- Fishing pockets are also very productive this time of year.
- You can fish a spinnerbait lengthways down a submerged tree and lead the lure using your rod so it bumps off of big limbs from the tree.
- Try using SuspenDots on the crankbaits to catch those suspended fish.
- Fish the trees by points and coves.
- Fish slower and don’t run from spot to spot but fish an area thoroughly.
- If you can fish trees submerged where one end is in about 7-9 feet of water, make sure you fish it.
- Try deadsticking a Senko (I have had a lot of luck in late fall with this method, fish it slow and let it set for a little longer than you think you should)
Overall, the best I have done is with a little crankbait with a SuspenDot and fishing submerged trees on a point in fairly shallow water. Just because the temperature is lower doesn’t mean you can’t have a good day of fishing even if you have a cold front to go along with it.
