These 3 Mistakes Will Ruin Your Fall Fishing! (How To Avoid Them)

- We all make mistakes but these 3 will mess up your whole Fall! If you want to catch more fish as we enter the Summer to Fall transition, you need to avoid these mistakes at all costs! Luckily, we've got some alternatives that are going to help you be successful.
This can be a difficult time of year and most anglers react by slowing down and fishing places where they've been successful in the past. While that seems wise on the surface, it's the worst decision you can make as we head into the transition. Instead, focus your time on new patterns, covering water, and fishing quickly. To be even more successful, focus your attention on the extremes of lure size by focusing on small presentations or big swimbaits.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we discussed in the video. We've even included some great budget rod and reel combos to help you fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

A tactical bassin video has been part of get up routine for school for a few years now, love it!
Time flies man. I remember when they first started over a decade ago. I have become such a better angler cause Tim and Matt
@@TomBrown1018 same here man!
❤
It will be a sad day when/if they stop making videos 3 days per week
@@Plan13Tattoos yessir getting into tournaments right now it’s kayak tournaments but I’m getting a boat soon since I can drive now
Thanks to these legends, I forced myself to throw big baits this year and BOY WAS IT REWARDING!! 🎣
i’ll probably change up my setups for a rattle trap , swim jig , chatter bait , spinnerbait , & a square bill 1.5 ! i am in the north so those cold nights already just happened like last night so this video is perfect !!! thanks you guys always got me covered from converting me to dobyns & mega bass rods used to use abu garcia 😭
I live in door county wisconsin. And i Watched this video while I was fishing. Catching nothing. Went to Walmart. Down sized my jig and trailer. And boom. 6 bass within a hour. I love you guys videos. Great info. And simple to repeat. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Matt! Love these seasonal reminder videos for us weekend guys that don’t get out all the time - perfect 😊
Matt, great video. This is 1 of many TB videos worth saveing and shareing with friends.
Sincerely sharing your experience is one of the things that make TB the best.
Another great video! You guy really are spot on in your videos. Your information really does work throughout the country. Lot of what u said is already happening at the lakes I fish at!
Awesome, I really appreciate your knowledge. I’ve been watching for a few years, and not only have I smashed my PB several times, also have climbed up standings in tournaments. Thank you
I needed this pep talk...lets go!! great info!
Heading out this evening. Thanks for the great info!
This was GOOD stuff Matt!
Best info Ive heard from you guys ! And I’ve been watching a long time great job Matt!
As always Matt great job! Bravo 👏. Btw because of you I started fishing dirty jigs about 6 years ago as a primary bait and will never look back. Thank you 😊
I love for you guys to come to Missouri and fish our lakes. Would be REALLY interesting to see how you'd break down our lakes, like Truman, Stockton, Lake of the Ozarks even. Lakes that have tons of standing timber, long points, bluffs, and REALLY BAD WATER FLUCTUATIONS. It's only about an 8 hour drive from Nashville. Love your content, has improved my fishing over the years ten fold.
I agree with everything you've said. Being in central Florida we have different rules that apply but by far follow your bait balls to success and be willing to change depth at any time of the day. The fact they don't make sense makes it make sense effort equals reward
Thanks for sharing Matt
One of your best videos thanks for the info
Great stuff Matt, thanks!
I was fishing last weekend and noticed this pattern. But now i know why. Thank you for the info!
Great video! Thanks for the tips on the transition period.
Thanks for keeping your videos relatively short. I watch them during my lunch break, but don't tell my employer. Lol
Fantastic content! Thanks Matt!!
Thank you Matt good content buddy
Awesome video Matt!! My son and I are learning a small part of our lake here in North Ga. Thank you for the inspiration to get out on the water and learn.
Fishing mostly urban ponds out here in SoCal, so it's not often that the advice Matt and Tim give pays off for me. But today I stop by on my lunch and Matt's in my head, talking about the Chatterbait Minimax, so I tie one on and start fancasting. It took about 10 minutes but a solid 3.5 pounder hit me like a truck. Thanks Matt.
Super awesome video sir. Very informative.
Great info Matt! Hoping we can expect some more southern musky videos this fall. 😃
Matt, really appericate you sharing your knowledge, been following you guys for about a year now. I'm in North Texas and everything you talk about is spot on. I've caught more bass with yours and Tim's help. My wife see's me watching your video's, first thing she says and how much are you spending this rime. She notices I have tabs open and your links on the other monitor, but she's okay with it.
Talk about a perfectly timed video for me. I am headed to Lake Cumberland and they have docks everywhere. The underspin and maybe a few bigger baits will now be getting a workout.
My last trip out the EXACT things happened jus about the time I can come up with enough of a formula of why ? You gies are dropping the EXACT answer , truly the first ones to bring it all in a classroom teacher format an couldn’t ah done a better job , as always please ….. keep ‘em comin boyz
Thanks for the video. Really like how you demonstrated all the lure weights. Nice pike too. Seems like a great travel rod! I ordered me one.
Thanks for a nice vid Matt. Would love to book you on Tablerock or Beaver sometime soon!
I used the 2.8 swimbait and a 6 inch glidebait earlier this year as a 1 2 combo. I'd find fish then use the other lure as a follow up lure. Such fun!
I be taking the knowledge from these videos and applying them to the ponds I fish. Thanks to your help I’ve broken my PB numerous times!
Awesome video thanks Matt
awesome video matt! ive been clinging on to a flat jerbait bite thats been slowly fading away im going to try some points, and wood cover next time I get out!
All I catch are leaves in the fall. Every cast though so that’s consistency
The transition is definitely in full effect in central New York. My lack of fish this weekend was frustrating
You guys are the best ❤.. keep up the great work
You described me word for word with the drop shot and finesse jig lol. It's tied on right now
8 years of TB,and still learning, well done matt
Thanks for the video.
perfect that this got uploaded as i got to work an hour early with weekend fishing plans YEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH
Went to the pond this am and got 2 2lbers and a 3lb on my bfs rod!
Going to take this information and put it to use
Great info, but a few days late. I was fishing grass beds this weekend that used to have lots of bass and they just weren't biting anything - makes sense that they moved on because of depleting oxygen levels.
This was an epiphany for me. In North Florida we are starting to see this trend. The night has completely changed from May/June/July/August and is starting to hit the fall cool stride but daytime is still north of 90 degrees most every day. Add in tidal factors, hurricanes, and spring-fed rivers making waters cooler than reservoirs and it can be a really frustrating fishery, but I love it!
We have bait balls up north as well. Upstate NY lakes, I fish, have Alewife which is an open water forage fish that Bass, Trout, Crappies, Walleye will push into bait balls near the surface.
The baby bluegill in my pond are like a cloud! Megabass has a smaller lipless (can’t think of the name) and it kills rn!! They are so white in color so anything white and small is killer too. Thanks Matt!
What about the pond guys and gals? Where do the fish go on small body's of water. Great vid and advice as always, keep up the great work.
Coming back to give my review with the poop bait category: My new confidence rig! They arent great for durability, but usually ill get a decent quality fish or two before I have to throw a new bait on. Also, the 3.5" and up sizes, can be fished on 3/0-6/0 comfortably. Tight lines!
Our temperature here in Fredericton New Brunswick during the day is between 15 to 25 degrees. Nighttime temperature down to 10 degrees. Our rivers starting to get cooler
If what youre doing isn't working.... Change it up. Good video guys.
Just polished off some night fishin. It's hard to break habits. Grass is already dying. Moved to the few hard cover pieces. 2am baitfish started jumping, and swim baits were blasting them. A dozen bass 2-3 pounds. Then I fell into the water and had to go home to some tasty beverages.
Ha, glad to see Matt is still doing the creature bait shake
Thanks Matt cordell spot and lv500 time in the north east.
I live in southern oregon, very very similar climate to nor-cal, mostly fishing very small ponds with lots of grass, like an acre or 2 in size, cattails around 70% of the banks, other 30% is fallen trees, 1 pond is infested with pumkinseeds, the other one is full of tiny baitfish, what should i use? Thanks brother, love you guys!!
What if you can only bank fish and there isn't grass? What would you expect this change to cause or what hope do I have? The river I fish on 90% of the time is mostly rocky bottomed (shoreline just kinda collapses off the bank), with an occasional dock near boat landings.
Great video as always but those River to Sea big swimbaits is a tad expensive. What would you suggest for a cheaper large swimbait?
Hey Matt I've got a question I fish a 90 acre private spring fed lake well we don't have grass but we do have this moss looking slimy stuff and right now that crap is dang near taking over how do I ahead of the fish with that stuff in full bloom right now can I just keep an eye on it and when I start seeing less and less of it on the surface and below when that starts should then head for the hardwood and docks etc. Love you guys how is the kids doing bet the baby is getting big well any way brother God bless you and Tim and your families . Blessed from southeast Texas
Happy sunday! Just placed an order can i add to this order to save shipping??
I fish a river with lily's and cypress trees the frog is still a major player but I might step out of my comfort zone and try some swimbaits or glides also
Great information, although i wish you would have added in an example of what your looking for in the weather. I know you said first colder day but I'm unsure what your talking about as an example (last week night temp was bouncing between 74 and 70 but last night it got down to 65 although the next week is forcasted to be between 75 and 68) or (last week night temp was bouncing between 74 and 70 but last night it got down to 65 although the next week is forcasted to be between 70 and 64 with it slowly droping afterthat)
I was out of the bass fishing game for a while. The poop baits reminded me of zara pups. They were spook shaped soft plastics. Had a lot of success with them but it doesn't look like they make them anymore.
Question: you talk about hitting a structure and then leave do you have any advice for small lake kayak fishing.? We dont have the ability to get places very fast and the structures are very limited in small lakes.
Another great video! Thanks. I’m a bank angler in Connecticut. It’s most small lakes or ponds. How do I chase fish there.
Once the lily pads start dying off, I go straight back to jigs or swim baits that weren’t working in august.
Hey, what if the hard cover has a grass/weed bottom? I am thinking of this pad/grass area I've been catching them in, I remember seeing a fallen tree to the side, but the bottom of it is still soft weeds and grass. Will they go there and just wait for the grass to die? How do I fish it?
I go to a new lake and keep getting caught up on picking apart different cover and drop offs. In the back of my head I hear " cover water in Matt's voice" within two and half hours I stumble across two schools, both on sandy tapering points and layed the HAMMER DOWN with the jackhammer. I really don't think they've seen it too much there.
Rapalas and Paddle tails.
They like fish imitations They're hyper-predatory because of the transition.
I need a life.
How about flukes? Been killing it this month with them should I continue and add a paddletail into the mix?
Hey Matt! I live on lakes that really do not have lots of grass at all, in fact it is 95% chunk rock and timber bottom (lake Pomme de Terre in Missouri) any suggestions where these fish go cause they have already been back in pockets and sucked into timber all summer👍
Head toward the backs of feeder creeks, rivers. That's what I do on a lake with no grass.
Brilliant. What state do you live in?
Tacticalbassin!!!!!
Any tips for fishing during 60ish degree weather for Bass?
From one tackle junkie to another😂 y’all should check out the new osp spinnuts and let us know if they are fish catchers. Ive never seen a type of soft plastic that’s made to be a underwater walking bait like it before. Seems like it could be a deadly technique for the bass that don’t want to come all the way to the surface to hit a topwater.
I think this applies for the North, West, most of the South as well as Central parts of the US, but for those of us in Florida, especially South Florida, we are still in summer until late September, early October 😉
1st night time temp drop is on Fri-Sat for some of us in FL 👀
What if there isn't any herring or shad in my primary body of water? Bait doesn't school in the resecoir where I fish. Bluegill is the main forage by far in comparison to others.
"hey, i have an idea for a new bass fishing bait"
"let's hear it"
"you know those sweet pickles?..."
Here in p.a nighttime Temps here down to 55 day time highs last few days uper 70dies
Don’t see the link to the hooks for the gravity baits listed.
Surprisingly the fall transition is the only time I’m actually good at bass fishing
What if the hard cover is covered by heavy grass an lilies
Fishing CZcams needs to learn about presenting info in a way thats more easily retained. Dont get me wrong - theres a TON of excellent info here! So much though that ive had to skip around a lot a few times just to keep it all straight. Maybe a few seconds of a slide at the beginning or end that lists the broad overview? I understand you cant just post a bulletpoint of the video - you need people to watch! However, something that summarizes the big takeaways.
* Forget old spots
* Fish fast to cover water
* Care about quantity of bites until you've found the fish (you'll come out way ahead!)
* Lean on reaction baits
* Fish zoom to hard structure when grass starts to die
* Specific tips, recommendations, and explanations in the video
I enjoyed the video and learned a ton and love the style and all the explanations, just some ideas that would help me. Thank you!
When you were talking about going into the cove doesn't make any difference at the cold you're like 2 to 3 ft deep
Okay so here’s a serious question for you, I’ve been fishing for 2 months now after a buddy of mine got me back into it, I go out at least three times a week I’m currently a bank fisherman and I haven’t caught anything I’ve lost a bunch of lures getting snagged on rocks and lay downs but I haven’t caught a single fish, I know the areas I fish are super pressured but until I have a kayak or boat I’m stuck in those places so what can I do I’m enjoying my time out on the water cause it’s relaxing but I’m getting agitated cause I haven’t caught a single fish?
I am having the same issues at the lakes I am able to fish at here in Oklahoma. Most of the shore is rip rap, you can barely get to down to the waters edge over all of the rocks and if you do find a spot where your able to stand, then you get your baits snagged on the rocks reeling them back in.
I can't get any of your links to work?
yes chimera
great pronunciation
I drove 5 hours to fish truman lake Missouri and couldn't get one bite. This video is spot on.
The best trick for fishing for anyone how loves the fishing end nature btw mat end Tim the best on the game I been learning alot thankz
What about a lake with no docks or stumps... it has a couple trees around the bank hanging over the water and a rock bank... and should I throw a bluegill swimbait or crankbait if that's the only bait fish in that lake
No just because they are the only fish doesn’t mean other lures won’t work not everything can be predicted in fishing just keep trying different things because you never know don’t overthink it
And no dock or stumps then around the banks is good or rock structures would be ideal good luck
Well, heck 2023 has sucked so I will embrace the fall transition suck I guess🤷♂️
If there’s no grass is the move still hard cover?
If no grass it always was hard cover. But he didn't mention much of anything on the transition for highland places
But how are you casting something so light weight so far
What should happen if the lake you fish is nothing but trees with no weeds or docks. Our lakes in Missouri are nothing but tons of standing timber. The bite on trees is the normal all summer
It's not just in lakes y'all, pay attention to this in all bodies of water.
Haha. He's never heard of a chimera.
Marked Safe from using a Drop Shot
What about my local lakes that are down massively bc of no rain and 105 degree temps for 2 months 😂
Here in Indy last week we had 95-105° weather for a couple weeks and now this week it's 70s and 80s and next week back to the 90s. It definitely makes it difficult.
My biggest mistake is not understanding when bass seasons happen in my area.
Cali in the house lol 3 am
Ha! Welcome to tomorrow!
I made at 4am
Just got home from getting skunked unless u count 1 jumping off
U know watching this video I notice how comfortable you are with swinging hooks around like they aren’t sharp😂
Ha! The comfort comes in time and there is no short cut.
guilty as charged!
