Top 5 Baits For October Bass Fishing!

October is a great month in bass fishing! Fall bass fishing is in full swing and bass are feeding on shad and small baitfish. If you're not taking advantage of the Fall fishing you'll be singing the blues when Winter rolls around so get out there and catch those fish! Today we're covering the top 5 baits (its more like 15) to help you catch fish in October. 

If you're fishing in October and don't have a topwater tied on, you've already screwed up. Rule #1... Don't leave home without a walking topwater bait! There are some other great ways to catch fish as well but nothing is as exciting as topwater strike! Of course there are times they don't want to eat it and that's where these other lures come into play. Some fish will move shallow, others will move deep, but we've got baits that will help you target these fish no matter where they hide. 

Below you'll find links to all the baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each model as well as any rigging components you'll need. We've also included a couple of our favorite rod and reel combos to help cover the bases for this style of fishing.

Early Fall Bass Fishing! (Finesse Baits And Big Smallmouth)

We're exploring new water in search of big bass and taking you along for the ride on the Great Lakes! Don't miss any of the details as we adapt lure color, size, and retrieve to dial in a pattern for Smallmouth. Watch as the guys start off with power techniques like swimbaits and topwater but adapt with changing conditions, and continue catching fish with a ned rig, tube, and hair jig. 

Fishing Lake Michigan is all about adapting to changing conditions. Today started out with wind, settled to slick calm and high sun, then a lightning storm blew in. With no history to rely on the guys had to adapt on the fly, trying different presentations and locations (they ran over 50 miles!) to keep catching fish. They caught fish all day long and were vocal about the choices they were making and reasoning behind them. If you want to understand the mindset behind fish catching, this video is for you!

Below you'll find links to all the baits used in the video. We've included the exact models, sizes, and colors for each presentation. As promised, we've also included the jerkbait colors we use to adapt to changing conditions. Finally, you'll find links to our favorite rod and reel combos from the day with exact specs on each model. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
