shannon fulks Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 When the middle of the fall comes and cold fronts hit water temps drop my favorite lures to bring out and keep hamdy will be a Livingston stick master (jerkbait) it dives up to 4 ft on the jerk and suspend have ebs technology mustad hooks I also like to use strike king caffeine tubes in a white shad pattern Quote
Smokinal Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 One of my go-to's when the temps drop is a blk/blue Rage Space Monkey on a jighead. Worked just like a jig. Not sure why but bass up here eat that better than a jig most of the time when water drops to 55 or below. Quote
KritterGitter Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Fishin the chrome rattle trap crank low and slooooow..... tried quite a few things, this has been my only lure thats been consistent. Water temps holdin steady @ 55+/- with sunny days being the most productive. Quote
rangerboy Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 find some green grass if there is any left and rip a lv 500 through it. pig magnet Quote
Creekcrappie Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Anything that looks like a shad. Exept spinnerbaits, they just don't work for me . Quote
Matthew Veillion Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I've had good success with crankbaits but when that's not working I switch to a slow presentation like dropshots and other finesse approaches Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 11, 2013 Global Moderator Posted November 11, 2013 Really isn't a bait in the box that doesn't work at some point during the fall. Once the water temps really start to cool off a rattle bait, suspending jerkbait, and a jig are my main go to baits. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted November 11, 2013 Super User Posted November 11, 2013 9 times out of 10 I can get them on a suspending jerkbait, dropshot, or hair jig. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted November 11, 2013 Super User Posted November 11, 2013 A 3/4 mag trap over the top of grass. I work it like a jig. Just keep it going fast enough to skim the top of the grass without getting snagged. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted November 11, 2013 Super User Posted November 11, 2013 Keitech Easy Shiner ... slow and steady gets them for me. Quote
Bassfink86 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Chrome and blue trap pumping the rod with a steady retrieve, I've caught at least twenty in the last two weeks on this, my trap has some awesome battle scars Quote
awefvawervwae Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Here lately its been drop shot, shaky head, and senko style baits wacky rigged or texas rigged. We won the lunker in our club tournament Sunday on a weightless texas rigged senko Quote
alexandboi Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 A suspending jerkbait by far, followed by a finesse jig with little hops. Quote
MacP Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Pop-rs! I caught several dozen spots yesterday using top water poppers. I like squarebills/shallow shad-raps fishing with a slow retrieve when the water temps drop too. It's too bad our temps are still above 60. I didn't see any thing below 63 yesterday! Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted November 12, 2013 Super User Posted November 12, 2013 I don't rule anything out, BUT when the water get's into the 40's like it is now, the stuff at the top of the rotation will be a finesse jig, a small 3" or 4" bait on a drop shot, or a shaky head for slow presentations. And a lipless crank, suspending jerkbait, and a small swim bait for moving baits. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted November 12, 2013 Super User Posted November 12, 2013 Having my line in the water Quote
papajoe222 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I rely on three baits when the water temps. drop into the 40's all the way until there's ice covering the surface. A Mepps in-line spinner, a suspending FatFree Shad or Norman Little N, and a white jig with a smoke colored Kalin's grub. That Mepps Aglia is something that they rarely see, can be fished relatively slow and it has a different vibration and flash than a bass style spinnerbait. Quote
