Where Do Bass Go During The Fall Transition? ( And How To Catch Them )

Fall is fast approaching! If your fish are starting to disappear and you don't know why, you're not alone! As the nights get cooler the bass fishing changes over night. Bass transition toward their Fall patterns and many anglers are left wondering what happened. We're here to help!

The Fall Transition comes much earlier than most anglers realize. Its not a slow progression either, in most situations, bass will begin their movements overnight. One day you're on an awesome topwater bite, the next you can't find a fish. When this happens its time to step back and look at what is motivating these fish to move. Whether you're targeting shallow bass or deep, the bass' next movement is motivated by the baitfish's location. As the bait begins to gather, so will the bass.

If your fish are out deep, expect them to begin gathering on the best structures. Expect to find them on corners of creek channel bends, along long tapering points that break to deep water, and later you can expect them to transition toward the backs of deep coves. Shallow fish will abandon the scattered weeds in favor of thick weed clumps and hard structure. As the seasons progress these fish will begin bunching up along ambush points and pockets.

Below is a breakdown of the gear we recommend using during these conditions. We've included rigging components where applicable and even included our favorite colors for each technique. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
