Cool Weather Is Coming; What Are You Going To Use?

[heresdustin]

Well, fellas, fall is upon us.  Bass fishing is going to change along with the season.  I fish in Central California.  Around here, it's all about ghost blue worms, slow-rolled spinnerbaits, and black/blue/brown jig comibnations in 25-35 feet of water.  But I'm curious to what everyone else's favorite cold weather baits are.  Let me know what's going to be in your fall arsenal.

A jacket  (sorry fluke, I beat ya  )

Slowin it down to a "jig only" situation for the next 4 weeks or so.

dang man I was just about to, when I glanced at what you wrote.

I will be yo-yo'ing a Super Fluke Jr. on a white swimming jig head.

I guess it means I will have to start fishing in socks.

Around here, Central VA, Fall means following the bass up the creeks and tributaries. I will probably be throwing a suspending jerkbait, buzzbait, and a shallow crankbait. But if you want to target the biggest bass, look for humps on mainlake points and toss'em a drop-shot.

Good luck and tight lines to everybody.

Next weekend my son will be using his .243

the following weekend we'll both be using .50 caliber Black powder rifles. ;D ;D ;D

Oh , I'm sorry you were talking about fishing lures. :

Down here So. Florida way, the good news for fall is that it finally stops raining and the weeds die back.  The bad news is that "Fall" don't get here till December.  I'll be fishing the jig, senko, popper, crankbait combo.  For some reason the horny toad bite stopped very abruptly a couple of weeks ago.  I wonder why that is?

Since I live in Georgia, the water isn't cool yet, but I guess I'll use more floating minnow-type lures, with very slow retrieves. They work well in the shallow ponds I fish.

I kinda go in a different direction. I throw big spinnerbaits with a big pork frog, big crankbaits, big jigs,  I want Godzilla! ;D Late fall into winter I scale way back but still fish them slow.

this is true..   :-/

time to revisit the cranks, and vibration style blade baits.  that is until it gets cold!  but that wont be froa nother month or so, then looking forward to some jig action, and t-rig worms.  maybe even SLOW-SLOW-SLOW rolling a spinnerbait witha  fat colo blade.

[Rattlinrogue]

It's starting to cool down even down here in MS.I'm gonna fish spinnerbaits (white),floating and suspending jerkbaits,shallow running c-baits in shad patterns,topwaters,and pitch and cast plastics.

I'm with DDbasser. The time is coming for me to put the rods away. I will still get to fish some on days that I hunt but for the most part fishing will come second.

We had a warm summer here on Long Island, so the water's still warm enough for tubes.  I suppose I'll be getting out some jigs and twin tails soon enough.  Don't get too much action on cranks up here, but little Mepps spinners (1/8 oz) {yes the bass are small up here } can make a bad day better.

[Matt Fly]

I going with big spinnerbaits, pig and jig when the weather holds the bass in the grass, or tighter on the timber and back to big cranks when they are active.  As long as the weather continues to hold right now, my baits will be moving until the cold weather hits TX.  we still haven't been in the forties yet around Dallas and East Texas.  I do like the swim baits and 10+ in worms.  Surface temps are upper 70's mostly.  Prime time.  Top waters early and late and all day on the overcast days like now.

Yup Matt, 70 's is pretty cold in our respective neck of the woods.  ;D
