Top 5 Baits For September Bass Fishing!

Bass are in transition in September. As water temperatures drop, the bass move to their Fall haunts and begin feeding heavily. If you're not paying attention to their movements the bite can be amazing one day and leave you scratching your head the next but with these baits you know you're showing them the right lures to keep catching fish. Throw them with confidence in likely locations to find success all month long!

September can be amazing topwater fishing! It can also be an amazing time to throw subsurface lures that imitate small baitfish. We spend very little time finesse fishing in September, instead leaning on fast moving, power fishing techniques to get consistent bites. The best part about September is that as you build patterns toward the end of the month, those patterns are likely to last all the way through the Fall and into the beginning of Winter. 

Below you'll find links to the baits Tim discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each, as well as some great budget rod and reel combos to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
