Anglers with more experience in the fall are likely to catch more bass. Small bass are found in shallow and deep waters in the summer months. These fish are more likely to be caught near shore as the weather changes and the water temperature drops. Anglers should only use spinnerbaits and jigs in the fall for best results.
Spinnerbaits
The retrieve rate of a spinnerbait is an important aspect of the technique. Anglers fishing with spinnerbaits should retrieve the bait slowly and feel the lure travel along the bottom. Most strikes occur at the bait's fall, which means that most strikes will be made during this time. For maximum realism, you should use a 3/4-ounce bait. A bait that is too heavy will not fall back quickly during fall action. Spinnerbaits are best used for active bass fishing in areas with long slopes, creek beds, and humps.
It is vital to use a spinnerbait in order to catch bass during fall. Fish the spinnerbait around the cover in sizes 3/8 - 1/2 ounces. Use a medium retrieve speed. The rod tip should activate every four to 5 turns of the handle. You can also try pausing the retrieve to make it look as if it is injured. This trick will fool staged basse and lure them to strike.
Swimbaits
Although it may seem appealing to use traditional hard baits, the fish most often find cover within five to fifteen feet of water. Swimbaits can effectively simulate baitfish, so a slow retrieve and a stop-and-go retrieve are essential. You can keep your lure near the areas where bass are most likely to feed by using a heavier-weighted hook and retrieving it uphill. This will encourage bass to strike.
While swimbaits make a great lure for fall fishing (and they are very popular), they aren't the only type. You can use weedless lures in areas where there is grass or pad. Make sure you choose baits that look as natural as possible. The bass won't be capable of telling the difference. Use a weedless bait and a floating boottail. A worm can be used to attract bass in the spring and fall.
Jigs
Fall fishing is a popular sport, and jigs are very popular. However, there are some key differences in the types of jigs that can be used. First, consider the weight of your jig's head. The slower the fall rate is, the lighter the Jig. Heavy jigs have the ability to pass through vegetation and are therefore effective against heavyweeds. For shallow water, smaller jigs work better.
Depending on the size and shape of the jig, three eighth ounce and 1/2 oz. For slow falls, jigs are best. 1/2 oz. The jigs can be used for quick bites and reactionary situations. Using colors that mimic the forage bass feed on can be effective, especially green pumpkin and bamer craw. You should also consider the depth of the water body where you intend to fish.

How To
How can I clean my fishing gear properly?
There are many different types of cleaning methods available for your fishing equipment. Some are very simple while others require advanced techniques. Most people use soap and water. You should always ensure you rinse the item thoroughly after washing it. You could end up with bacteria growth if you don't thoroughly rinse the item. If left untreated, this could cause a bad odor and worsening of infections. To prevent this, dry the items completely before storing. Another thing that you should keep in mind when doing any type of cleaning is to avoid touching the surface of the item. Touching something that is dirty can spread germs.
Apart from using soap, water, there are many ways you can improve the quality and performance of your fishing gear. You may want to use different detergents or solvents, depending on the type and model of your fishing gear. You should avoid certain substances, however, as they could cause damage to your goods. Bleach is one example. Bleach has been known to disintegrate plastic and metal so it shouldn't be used to clean fishing gear. Use warm water and a dishwashing liquid instead. Only use dishwashing detergents designed to clean fish. Dishwashing detergents are formulated with enzymes and other chemicals to help dissolve organic materials like blood, slime, scales, and slime. Surfactants help remove dirt and grime from surfaces. But, if staining is a concern, you might consider using a stain eliminator. Most stains are caused by oil and fats that have remained on the gear's surface. Applying stain removers directly to the area where the oil or fat came from helps remove the stain without damaging the underlying material.
If you're looking for a cleaner solution for your fishing gear, you'll find plenty of options at your local home improvement store. Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes. Some are meant for small amounts while others are better suited to larger quantities. You can choose one that suits your needs best.
