Anglers with more experience in the fall are likely to catch more bass. Summer months are filled with small bass that range in size from 1-3 lbs and hang out in shallow to deep water. These fish tend to move closer towards shore when the water temperature and environment changes. Anglers should only use spinnerbaits and jigs in the fall for best results.
Spinnerbaits
Anglers need to remember to keep the retrieve rate in mind when casting a spinningbait. Anglers who fish with a spinnerbait should slow down and slowly retrieve the bait, feeling the lure along the bottom. Most strikes occur at the bait's fall, which means that most strikes will be made during this time. To achieve maximum realisation, you need a bait of 3/4 oz. A bait that is too heavy will not fall back quickly during fall action. Also, a spinnerbait can be used to catch active bass.
A spinnerbait's shad-like action is crucial to catch a bass in the fall. Choose a spinnerbait in the 3/8 to 1/2 ounce size and fish it around the cover. Use a medium retrieve speed. The rod tip should activate every four to 5 turns of the handle. To make it appear more injured, you could also try pausing the retrieve. This can fool staged bass and lure them to strike.
Swimbaits
Traditional hard baits are tempting but the fish prefer to be near water cover, which is usually between five and fifteen feet. Swimbaits can effectively simulate baitfish, so a slow retrieve and a stop-and-go retrieve are essential. If you want your lure to be in the zone where bass usually feed, use a heavier weighted hook. This will help entice bass to strike.
While swimbaits are a popular bait during fall fishing, they are not the only type of lure. Use weedless baits in areas that have grass or pads. Use weedless baits that appear as real as possible. The bass will not be able tell the difference. You can use a weedless and floating bait. During the early fall, use a worm to attract bass.
Jigs
Fall fishing is a popular sport, and jigs are very popular. However, there are some key differences in the types of jigs that can be used. The first is the weight of the lead head on the jig. The slower the fall rate, the lighter the jig. Heavy jigs can be used to remove heavy weeds. They can also pass through vegetation. Smaller jigs will work well in shallow water.
Depending on the size and shape of the jig, three eighth ounce and 1/2 oz. jigs work well for slow falls, while 1/2 oz. jigs are more suited for reactionary bites. Effective colors can mimic what the forage bass eat, including green pumpkin and bamercraw. It is important to keep in mind how deep the water is where you will be fishing.

How To
How do you clean your fishing gear?
There are many cleaning options for fishing equipment. Some of them are very basic, while others require advanced techniques. Use soap and water is the most popular method. It is important to rinse the item well after washing it. You could end up with bacteria growth if you don't thoroughly rinse the item. If it is not cleaned properly, it could lead to an unpleasant odor or worse infections. To prevent this, dry the items completely before storing. When cleaning any item, you must avoid touching its surface. You risk spreading germs to objects if you touch them.
There are many other things you can do to improve your fishing gear, besides using soap and drinking water. You may want to use different detergents or solvents, depending on the type and model of your fishing gear. However, there are some things you shouldn't use because they can damage your goods. Bleach is a common example. Bleach has been known to disintegrate plastic and metal so it shouldn't be used to clean fishing gear. Warm water and a dishwashing detergent are better choices. Only use dishwashing products that are made specifically to clean fish. Dishwashing solutions contain enzymes and chemicals that aid in the breakdown of organic materials such blood, slime, and scales. They also contain surfactants which remove dirt from surfaces. If you are concerned about stain removal, you can use a stain remover. Stains are usually caused by oils and fats that remain on the surface of the gear. Stain removers can be applied directly to the spot where the oil or fat is present. This will remove the stain without causing damage to the underlying material.
