Fall is a great time to catch bass. Anglers are more likely to catch more fish. Small bass are found in shallow and deep waters in the summer months. These fish will move closer to shore as the water temperature and weather changes. For the best results in fall, anglers should keep to jigs as well as spinnerbaits.
Spinnerbaits
When casting a spinnerbait, anglers must remember that the retrieve rate is a critical component of this technique. Anglers should fish with a spinningbait slowly. They should feel the lure moving along the bottom and slow down when retrieving it. This is because most strikes occur as the bait falls. Use a 3/4 oz bait to get maximum realistic results. Any bait heavier will fall back too quickly when used during the fall action. Additionally, spinnerbaits work best to catch active bass in areas where there are long sloping points, humps or creek beds.
The spinnerbait simulates the action of a shad, which is important to catch bass during the fall. A spinnerbait should be between 3/8 and 1/2 ounces in size. Fish it around the cover. At a medium retrieve speed the rod tip should react every four- to five turns of your handle. The rod tip can be paused to appear to be injured. This trick can fool staged bass and lure them into striking.
Swimbaits
Traditional hard baits are tempting but the fish prefer to be near water cover, which is usually between five and fifteen feet. Swimbaits can be used to simulate baitfish. Slow retrieves and stop-and-go retrieves are crucial. To keep your lure in the area where bass typically feed, use a heavier weighted hook and retrieve it uphill. This will attract bass to your lure.
Although swimbaits can be a good lure for fall fishing, they're not the only kind. In areas with grass and pads, you can try weedless ones. Use weedless baits that appear as real as possible. Bass will not be able to tell the differences. Use a weedless bait and a floating boottail. To attract bass, use a bait worm in the 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. The first is the weight of the lead head on the jig. The slower the fall rate, the lighter the jig. Heavy jigs have the ability to pass through vegetation and are therefore effective against heavyweeds. Smaller jigs will work well in shallow water.
Depending on the size of the jig and its shape, you can use three eighth ounces or 1/2 oz. The 1/2 oz. jig is best for slow falls. Jigs are better suited to reactionary bites. Colors that are closely related to what forage bass feed on can work well, especially green pumpkin or bamercraw. However, you should keep in mind the depth of the body of water where you plan to fish.

How To
How can I clean my fishing gear properly?
There are many cleaning options for fishing equipment. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. The most common way to wash your clothes is with soap and water. Always rinse your item after washing it. There's a possibility of bacteria growth if the item is not rinsed well. If it is not cleaned properly, it could lead to an unpleasant odor or worse infections. Drying the items thoroughly before placing them in storage is a good way to avoid this. When cleaning any item, you must avoid touching its surface. Touching something that is dirty can spread germs.
Other than washing your gear with soap and water, there are other ways to enhance the quality of your fishing equipment. Special detergents and solvents may be necessary depending on what type of gear you have. There are certain things that you should never use, though, because they could damage your goods. Bleach is one example. Bleach is known for dissolving plastic and metal so you should not use it to clean your fishing gear. Use warm water and a dishwashing liquid instead. Dishwashing liquids that are specifically designed for cleaning fish should be used only. Dishwashing detergents are formulated with enzymes and other chemicals to help dissolve organic materials like blood, slime, scales, and slime. They also contain surfactants that help loosen dirt and grime from surfaces. You should still consider using a stain-removal product if you are worried about stain removal. Oils and fats can cause stains. Applying stain-removal products directly to the affected area will help remove the stain and not damage the underlying material.
You'll find many options in your local home improvement shop if you are looking for cleaner solutions for your fishing gear. Many stores stock a variety of cleaners that are suitable for various purposes. Some cleaners are designed to work with very small amounts of grease while others can handle large quantities. You can choose which one best suits your needs.
