What's everyone's go to baits for the fall? This has been a tough year for fishing so I can't wait for the water temps to drop.

What's everyone's go to baits for the fall? This has been a tough year for fishing so I can't wait for the water temps to drop.

I'm headed to KY lake next weekend...........I armed the boat today.

1). Red Eye Shad - I will be throwing the crap out of this. Especially if I find schools of fish running baitfish. If I'm picking up smaller fish, then I will slow it down.....or switch to something deeper.

2). Bomber 200 thru 500 series - I love bomber crankbaits. I have two different ones tied onto two rods. a 300 and an 500 series. These are great for those deeper balls of shad, where the whites and yellows are SCREWING with ya.

3). Spinnerbait - In this case, I'm using a hopped up rocket shad. Nothing is like the packaged JUNK you get. I change the hook and skirt, and put on a bigger blade or a willow leaf.

4). Swimbait - Yea. a BIG Hammer swimbait. I love those......and in the fall, when they are chasing shad, there is nothing better.

5). Shaky Head - If things get tough and they are not chasing, a shaky head will put fish in the boat, padding the numbers, and every once in a while, it puts BIG fish in the boat.

6). Texas rigged Worm - A texas rig is always required. I use it in place of the shaky if they are not so skittish.

7). Jig - I always keep a jig tied on. If you miss a fish with a shaky or a crankbait, or Trap, you can usually go back to the same spot and stick it with the jig. Not always, but sometimes.

8). Sammy - I will have a Sammy tied on for early and late. I will only throw this if it is overcast and rainy, or first light for 2 hrs, and at dusk until complete DARKNESS. That early morning bite is stellar. 2 weeks ago, I pounded some fish on the Sammy.

Man, I'm DYING..........

Later,

Geo

Thanks guys! Don't think the question could have been answered any better.

Many baits may work better in the moment but when all that dies off I will pick a jig up.

I really don't have a go to bait. I pick a lure to use depending on whats at hand such as temps winds current if water is clear are stained ect ect... but I do got to say I love that!!! topwater bite!!! nothing like a big ole bass blowing up!! making a sound such as a toilet flushing!!! lol:-) god!! love it!! gets the heart pumping:-))

it is not quite a Zara Spook as a Spook doesn't have the uptilted nose.
