Alright, listen up you young’uns, gonna tell ya ‘bout catchin’ them bass in the fall. Fall, ya know, when the leaves turn all pretty colors and it gets a bit nippy. That’s when them bass start gettin’ real hungry, readyin’ for winter, like squirrels hidin’ nuts.
Best Fall Lures for Bass Fishing, that’s what we’re talkin’ about. Now, I ain’t no fancy fisherman with all them expensive gadgets, but I know a thing or two ‘bout catchin’ bass.
First off, topwater lures. Them bass, they like to smack stuff on top of the water. You get a lure that looks like a little fish or frog, somethin’ tasty, and wiggle it around. Colors? Well, I like the bright ones, ya know, the ones you can see real good. Chartreuse, they call it, kinda like a yellowish-green. And white, that always works. Sometimes blue, too. Fish see them colors good, I reckon.
- Chartreuse/pepper
- Chrome/blue
- White/blue
- Crawfish colors
- Shad colors
Then there’s them crankbaits. These little fellas dive down deep, where the big bass hide. You gotta crank ‘em, that’s why they call ‘em crankbaits, I guess. Make ‘em wobble and wiggle, like a real fish. Again, bright colors work good, but sometimes, when the water’s clear, somethin’ that looks like a little crawfish, that’s the ticket. Reddish-brown, ya know.
And don’t forget about them spinnerbaits. Shiny blades, they got. Spin and flash, catch the fishes’ eyes. White is good, white with chartreuse, even better. And that “fire tiger” color, some folks swear by it. Looks kinda like a tiger, I guess, with orange and black stripes.
Now, some folks use tailspinners and jigging spoons. Them things are heavy, sink fast. Good for when the bass are deep. Same colors again, white, chartreuse, sometimes blue. You just jig ‘em up and down, make ‘em look like a hurtin’ little fish. Bass, they love an easy meal, just like me!
Listen, the best time for fall fishin’ is October. That’s when them bass are eatin’ like there’s no tomorrow. They gotta fatten up for winter, see? So, they bite at anything that looks tasty. But you gotta be quick, ‘cause once it gets real cold, they slow down.
So, you get yourself some of them lures, topwater, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, whatever you can find. Don’t need to spend a fortune, just get somethin’ that looks fishy. And go out there and fish! Find a good spot, maybe where there’s some weeds or rocks, that’s where the bass like to hang out.
And remember, patience is key. You ain’t gonna catch a fish every cast. Sometimes you gotta sit there and wait, keep castin’, keep tryin’. And if you don’t catch nothin’, well, that’s just fishin’. At least you got to spend some time outside, enjoyin’ the fresh air. Beats sittin’ inside watchin’ that there television all day.
So, there you have it, my advice on the best lures for fall bass fishing. Now, go on and catch yourself a big one! And don’t forget to clean ‘em and cook ‘em up good. Nothin’ like a fried bass dinner after a long day of fishin’.
And one more thing, before I forget. Don’t go spendin’ all your money on fancy fishin’ gear. Them bass don’t care how much your rod and reel cost. They just want somethin’ to eat. A simple hook and a worm, that’ll catch a bass too, you know. It ain’t about the gear, it’s about knowin’ where the fish are and what they want to eat.
And for goodness sake, remember to check your local regulations. Make sure you got a license and you know the size and limits for bass. We don’t want to be breakin’ no laws now, do we? Gotta take care of them fish, so there’s plenty for everyone.
So, good luck, and happy fishin’! Hope you catch a bunch of them big ol’ fall bass. And don’t forget to tell ‘em old Granny sent ya!
