Jig Tricks For Fall Bass Fishing! (Beginner To Advanced)

Рет қаралды 66,783

Жыл бұрын

The jig bite is amazing in the Fall! We constantly rely on the jig to get BIG bites. The key is understanding where bass are positioning and which jig styles to throw. Today Matt is giving you the keys to Fall jig fishing whether you're fishing a clear finesse fishery, a shallow grassy lake, or anywhere in between.
Understanding how fish are positioning in the Fall is half the battle. Pay attention to Matt's tips on WHERE he throws each style of jig as much as why he's throwing it. Getting bit on the jig is easy, once you're around the right fish. After that its all about jig selection. The right jig for a highland reservoir is completely different than the right jig for a Southern fishery.
Below you'll find links to the exact jigs, trailers and gear discussed in the video. We've included Matt's favorite sizes and colors as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

I owe literally 100 percent of my bass fishing knowledge to Matt and Tim. I have been bass fishing specifically for 3 years, avidly, and I haven't missed one video since starting. Thank you guys both for all of the detailed information. Matt and his detailed power fishing vids and Tim with the spy like finesse tactic there isn't a bass out there they don't prepare you for.

A lot of guys have trouble with jigs. They are one of my top confidence baits. If you can fish a Texas rig, you can fish a jig. As a general rule of thumb, if there is vegetation or a grass edge or seam, I'm using a Texas rigged soft plastic. If it's timber or laydowns or something harder or man-made ( concrete chunks, posts, docks, etc) I reach for a jig first. You don't need 75 types of jigs. You can get by with some flipping and Arkie jigs of various sizes in natural and dark colors. Don't be afraid to take that skirt off, either. You can then thread a worm or other plastic on there and work it almost like a more weedless shaky head. Or, what I do, I'll actually wacky rig a stick bait on that skirtless jig and work it around timber. I've caught so many fish doing that.

@kerrysanders6668 Жыл бұрын

My dude, as a Floridian, let me just say that you can find ridiculously large bass almost anywhere, in any body of water, so long as it has enough depth for their gills. They infest every puddle around here, and my PB is also a 6lber I caught out of a drainage pond. I have supposed 'world-class' fisheries all around me, and nothing is as good as hitting the little ponds.

I've learned a lot from you guys but would like to comment on your take on grass that's dying back. I live in Minnesota and really only fish grass lakes. The bluegill still relate to that dying grass therefore the bass here don't simply abandon those areas. I'm still catching plenty of bass around that grass. Maybe i'm not flipping into it but I think it's a bit misleading saying they abandon it. Thanks guys. I really do love your content.

Been having success on a finesse jig with a 4” Twin Tail grub even in open water and around lay downs. I use a Megabass Orochi Tour Versatile. A little stiffer rod, but it is super sensitive and I can use it for multiple applications. Being primarily a kayak angler versatility is important.

@davidcampbell4981 Жыл бұрын

Matt I absolutely agree, 🎉the Expride 6’10” med paired with the Shimano Aldebaran is a joy to fish. I’ve had to neck surgeries and weight and fatigue are issues for me while fishing. Using this set up, I can fish all day. Thank you for the advice, I’ve also fallen into the Loomis IMX PRO line-up( thank you very much), but the rods are warranted and are very light weight. As always have enjoyed your insight!! Dedicated Folsom Lake Angler Dave Campbell

That is NOT easy. As far as television, I would agree, but I would also speculate that the TB guys enjoy the freedom to create their own content, on their own schedule that the KZfaq format provides. There would also almost certainly be sponsorship commitments in the TV format. Good luck out there!

Why not just stay with the compact jig instead of the finesse jig? I ask because I stay with my compact with fine square rubber as I designed the hook to work with either and feel the Arkie type head and rubber gives me an abvantage, and the 5/16 is let's me fish from 0 to 20 feet... then move from there to the micro.
