How To Catch Shallow Bass In The Fall!!

Shallow bass can be tough! You see them chasing baitfish in the backs of coves or splashing around grass edges but can you catch them? Sure you can! These are the tricks we use to catch shallow fish all through the Fall!

Bass have seen a lot of lures by Mid Fall. If they've been living in the shallows they've seen worms, topwater, crankbaits, and a variety of other lures on a daily basis. These fish are educated and wary but they still need to eat! We rely on downsized presentations with key sounds and colors to draw reaction strikes from these shallow water bass. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim discussed in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see photos and descriptions of each item. We've even included some of our favorite rods for throwing the different lures.

Fall Bass Fishing: Trick To Target Offshore And Suspended Bass!

Come along as we smash big bass offshore! We're targeting Spotted Bass and Largemouth suspending around offshore structure and the bite is wide open! Tim catches them on everything from a crankbait, to a dropshot, to a topwater on this wide open bite!

Suspended bass are the final frontier of bass fishing. Targeting these open water creatures is extremely difficult and until recently, required incredible work, timing, and a little luck.
