Fall plastics

[FishinBill]

What do you use?

Bigger bulkier creature baits?

regular texas rigged worms?

Smaller finesse worms?

Also, has anyone had success on those plastic frogs with thumber tails? Like the Sizmics? I have used them, but the fish I have caught have been using it almost like a senko where it sinks slowly....yet to actually catch one on topwater.

Just curious what people use

Senko's in the 5" and I stick with tubes in 3 1/2" I like the natural colored tubes.

The only plastics I use in the fall are skirts on spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and hard plastic in rattletraps...

FishBill-

For me, I go at it like I would any other time of the year. However, in the fall I do have a tendancy that once I find a pattern I will up size my plastics to try and catch more quality fish. Yes, I will give big creature baits a try. However, more times than not I will reach for a jig and pig.

Dont get too crazy going with big baits till you find that its a big bait bite. Unless you are targeting big fish only!

Black/Blue brush hogs are a great lunker bait this time of year. A jig/pig or plastic chunk trailer works great on wood laydowns, but I don't like the way they grab all the dead weeds and drag them into the boat. A large tube bait like the strike king flipping tubes work well this time of year and will also boat smallies if your on a lake with both.
