Chasing October Bass: Soft Plastics, Shallow Cover, and Staying Mobile
Published 1 day, 10 hours ago
Description
October is one of the best months of the year to be on the water, and in this episode we break down how to stay on top of fall bass as they follow baitfish all over the lake. We cover why covering water beats camping in one spot, how to find bass pushing forage into shallow flats, docks, grass lines, and laydowns, and when to look deeper along points, ledges, and channel edges. You’ll learn how to match your soft plastic to the forage by downsizing or sizing up, how water clarity and cover should shape your color and rigging choices, and how to slow down and pick apart an area after the first fast bites fade.
We also dig into the baits and tackle that make it all work: the HellaMite for finesse presentations like the Ned rig, drop shot, and neko rig, the crawfish-imitating Scorpion, the versatile Beetle, the Lizard, 5- and 6-inch stick worms, and the 8-inch MagDingo for trophy fish. We round it out with the terminal tackle that ties it all together, from Block Head Jigs and Stand-Up Jigs to EWG worm hooks and tungsten drop shot weights. Whether you fish shallow, deep, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you put more bass in the boat this fall.
