Fall fishing lures

J...for some reason I catch some of my biggest bass of the year in October on a buzzer.

Me too. I like buzzbaits in fall far more than I like them in spring and summer, especially as a big fish bait.

I use jigs a lot, and big crabkbaits. When the weeds die off on the flats you can usually find green weeds, especially coontail, that's still green on deep edges, on the calm side of points, and in inside turns. Green coontail beds can be fish magnets in fall, so football heads, jig and pig and deep diving cranks are mainstays for me all fall.

Cheers,

Everything that worked in the summer works in the fall for me.

Some things Ill do in the fall that I dont do much other times of the year is add more swimbaits into the mix. As the water really cools Ill throw some pointers or other suspending jerkbaits and slow roll colorado blade spinnerbaits (I rarely throw spinnerbaits any other time).

Lots of times for me in the fall I end up going with faster moving baits so I can cover water looking for active fish.

Jigs, especially hair jigs, or hair silicone jigs.

Big white spinnerbait with a white willow blade usually burned around points and inside turns almost always catches me the biggest of the fall, definitely not a numbers bait, but for whatever reason a big fish bait

Rattle trap, red craw usually

dead sticking a stick bait when the bite is really tough

big worms t rigged or even a trailer on a regular silicone jig

Swim Baits, they can be hit or miss but were pretty productive for me last fall in a short window!

Hiya -

I've really gotten to like Paca Craws for trailers, both on football heads and with skirted jigs. A Jungle Hog type bait with the front 1/3 bitten off is good too actually. Anything bulky will do though.

I might be one of the last holdouts, but I still think when the water gets real cold (under 50) pork will outfish plastics. Gimme a 6" pork eel... Or a big black marabou jig.

Cheers,

Rob Kimm

I love jigs and I still use the small bitsy bug type jigs with a crayfish type trailer. I also like minnow raps or stickbaits that I can pause, and I will toss a spinnerbait here and there. Pretty much like everyone else. It's getting motivated to go out fishing in 38 degree weather with a brisk wind from the NW, that's the hard part.
