Top Lures For Fall Bass?

[ReggieT]

Hey Studs,

Going to attempt some fishing in the next day or two.

What are your go-to bass lures for fall fishing, especially shallow water?

 

Thanks,

Reggie T

Jerkbaits, shallow crankbaits, jigs, Spinnerbaits, topwater (walking style, poppers, wake).

Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. If those don't work, I'll start working through the rest of my tackle.

Getting very specific:

 

Double Willow spinnerbait

Chug Bug

jerkbaits

CC Spot

Jig and craw (year-round)

Fluke if they're actively chasing bait

It's Rat-L-trap season for me.  With some chatterbait/top water thrown in.

Stud, I like that, of course it’s a guy calling me that so.....

Depending on where your lake is in the fall cycle;

Early, water temps in the low 70’s to mid 60’s. square bill crank

               Spinnerbait or swim jig

               Square bill crank

                Jerk bait

                Spook

Late, water temp below 60

                 Blade bait

                 Jerk bait

                 Jig

                 Swim bait

With all that said, which I 100% agree, 

Threw most of that today and ended up catching every single fish "9" on drop shot Roboworm.....2 good fish of 4 1/2 lbs.

So finesse works year round also.

Went out today with bluebird skies in the middle of the afternoon.  Had some luck under what I understand to be called a "cheese" mat.  It was a combo of older dying vegetation, some stringy stuff, some good looking grass and some foamy crap binding it all together.  Those are my technical terms and I'm sticking to it.  

 

No luck on the top, I had to drop a rage bug through it to get bit.  Only shade they really have that time of day on my local lake.

Lately it’s been a small paddletail swimbait.

Soft plastics with no action besides what you do to them work well for me this time of year.  The water temp are dropping and so are the metabolisms of nearly all the aquatic animals you'll find in most of the bodies of water you'd fish in as well, so you need to match that with the action of the baits you're throwing.   I wouldn't throw any type of top water because that bite usually dies off in early fall anyway, and the fish probably won't have the energy this time of year to hit. 

 

Realistic looking craw baits, and creature baits that don't kick a lot  during the retrieve are great right now, and are pretty much the only thing I'm throwing right now.

 

Oh and Tubes, lovely Tubes.

*Plus shaky head worm , football jig and Ned Rig ... If this plus above don't work - then there is always sports on TV .

I fish the same baits for the most part...I would start with topwater if conditions are right since shallow, swim a jig or swimbait, fluke, senko, trick worm.....For topwater I pretty much always throw the tiny torpedo and a floating jerkbait of some kind, I prefer using the Original Rapala in the f-7 to f-9 size on spinning tackle, but if I need longer casts I will go with the bomber 14 floater or 15 size if looking for less strikes but bigger fish.

 

If I can throw a chrome rattle trap, even in shallow water, I would consider that a solid option as well.....Same with a square bill.

 

I like to cover water in the Fall, look for active fish, once I find them I fish it with the same baits I always use for most part.
