Favorite Fall Technique

[first2fish]

I was told this a few years ago as as far as i can tell it holds true. In the fall of the year the shad start gathering in schools and become the bass main meal. So i usually use lures that target from the top to about 5-10 foot down and have had great luck. Bass mainly are looking toward the surface for food. But not to say that they can not be caught on worms,jigs,etc. I just catch a lot more toward the surface than on the bottom. Good luck fall fishing everybody,jc

My best friend in Oct is the Jerk. If you knew my friends you'd really be confused to which friend I really meant. I preffer the Jerk bait over cover. I fish the Buck brush and the sloping banks at Dale alot.....so if it's not the Topwater in the morning or evening.....it's the jerk bait til my wrists fall off.

6 rods rigged with Pop R, 0-2' deep crankbait, 2-4 feet deep crankbait, 4-6 feet deep crankbait, spinnerbait or swim bait and texas rigged BIG 10 or 12" Worm for me. Crankbaits either Norman or Lucky Craft, Powerbait worms or Charmer worms, Hook Some Bass Spinnerbaits to be more precise.

3 rods. 1/4 Buzzbait, 1/4 Jig, and 200 series Bandit

Best bait of all is live crawdads at Barren fishing for football spotted bass.

NOTHING more fun than a spinnerbait strike in clear water...not to me anyway
