5 BEST BAITFISH BASS LURES for Fall Bass Fishing

A big key to fall bass fishing is what is happening with the baitfish. Shad is a well-distributed type of baitfish, but you see the same thing with Smelt, minnows and other various types of forage where they migrate out of deep water, up the creeks and eventually get to the backs of the creeks and then migrate back out to the main lake in preparation for winter.
Jeff Sprague's 5 Key Fall Bass Fishing Lures include the following:
1. Topwater walking bait:
2. Jerkbait
3. Lipless rattle bait
4. Shallow crankbait
5. Vibrating swim jig
FISHING TACKLE USED:
● King KVD Sexy Dawg Hard Knock: wired2.fish/SexyDawgHardKnock
● Strike King KVD 100 Jerkbait: wired2.fish/StrikeKing100Jerkbait
● Strike King Red Eye Shad: wired2.fish/RedEyeShad1
● Strike King KVD 1.5 Hard Knock Squarebill: wired2.fish/StikeKingSquarebill
● Strike King Thunder Cricket: wired2.fish/ThunderCricket1
Picking five lures that mimic baitfish, Jeff Sprague has settled on his staples for bass fishing in the fall months in Texas. But these baits work all over the country when the water is cooling and fish are moving shallow to feed heavily. He goes through each one thoroughly as to when and where he will fish each and how they make bass react in certain situations you will find all over the country in the fall.

99.9% of these type of videos (not saying just this channel...everywhere) focus on lakes with shad. I'd love to see more videos like this that focus on northern lakes that don't have shad...where the primary forage is bluegill/perch/crappie/craws.

[@Tristan-dp7mi]

Same, my lake only has bluegill and sunfish

[@262Fishing]

I made one of those videos a month ago for that very reason! But it doesn't specify bait fish, just baits. Of course, you can interchange any bait fish and apply the same concepts.

I am with you on that

[@howcroft22]

That’s great if any of the lakes around you actually have shad in them. But up here where I live in New England there is little to none. I usually throw perch colors.

[@stephenhaskins9562]

This is true I'm also from new England up north in little RI.were fishing has been tough this year.so I watch these vids figuring maybe something will help.

[@ryanpellegrini1023]

I'm in Connecticut. Blue gill color is my go to. Fall here is much different than down south. Our waters cool fast. Fall top water and jerk bait fishing dies off quick for me. Usually around November 1st. I'm really slowing down my techniques

[@michaelrussell9857]

Great information, I fish the CA delta and often I get stuck in the mode of trying to fish bluegill and crawfish patterns because they were working.....when the fall season arrives im still throwing those baits. I need to with to a bait fish pattern. You are clearly on point thanks for the content.

[@doster59]

Thanks very much for the information. It helps for us fishing up north.

[@michaele5906]

I like videos that get straight to the point. Like this one.

[@fishwithoutfear8970]

The five best search baits of all time on flat water imo. Great video guys.

[@jeromemayer8904]

Excellent video . I fish Oregon and I enjoyed your tips on the lures i have fished some of those lures and look forward to putting some new lures on when the other ones don't get any strikes!

[@rugerboyks6288]

That Shad footage was awesome

[@prestonlittlejohn5659]

That was awesome Info he explained it very well .I really like his vid

[@anthonypierre2094]

Thank you soo much for showing how you work it in the water. This is sooo helpful for newbies like me. I know it's a short video but it would be great to see how your set up is for this (meanig line set up). thank you

[@michaelcraig7297]

This was GREAT presentation and covered all the essentials for fishing this time of year. I'll use this lesson like a handbook.

[@MrSeanWesty]

I was out at my local pond and for over an hour, nothing. I finally switched to a 1/4 oz Red Eye Shad and had 3 in 4 casts!!

[@vickycocinayjardin104]

Great vid brotha 🎣🤙🏼

[@DoctorSess]

Yep these are the exact lures that have been working for me after the first cold front we’ve gotten here in east Texas. Pretty much identical colors too.

[@that_one_fisherman6916]

Also an umbrella (or alabama) rig is a great fall option

[@Wired2Fish]

Without question. Thanks!

[@benjamindoughten6628]

Thanks bud I will have to try that because I've been trying everything yet can't get a bite and if I did get a bite it was on top water frogs. I'm going fishing in morning. I let you know how it goes for me

[@JcksnWyn]

how did it go????

[@thomasdoheny8096]

I’m in the same situation the Northern Lakes shad are nonexistent where I fish. So what is the tactic to target the natural forage that we deal with in the North East bluegills, perch, frogs and crappie.

[@DPfilmz69]

What if where you fish at what if there is only blue gill and sunfish would you still throw a white shad color or more of a bluegill color

[@ngbay160]

Are these good stained water baits also?

[@righteousfishing3163]

Yeeeee!!!

[@MattyWongFishing]

1" thumb size? dang... #tinyhandproblem lol good work fellas, love the underwater footage per usual!

[@Wired2Fish]

Haha. Thanks buddy!

[@cmartin91680]

Do these white baits work in murky waters also?

[@davemoulding8799]

I am all for a show on blue Gill and perch in the north east , these guy all talk about out west or south of the border

[@anthonypierre2094]

do you use bobbers with these lures

[@chriswalls5831]

Tonight 3 blue gill and 2 bass with one around 5lbs

[@alanellis9205]

Great video! What about pearl or smoking shad flukes? Would flukes work in lakes with shad? Thanks

[@righteousfishing3163]

Hope to be great like you one day

[@anthonylacy4466]

Im at Rend Lake currently. Didn't get the kayak out due to the winds But I fished the dock/boat launch area. Seen tons of fish snatching food off the top yhen diving down and some would skim the top. Man, I tried everything from chad lures, minnows, worms, powerbait, crawfish, top water crickets, fly fishing gear, spinners with chad or minnows attached. NADA. Even had anchovies. Bunch feeding all around me but I caught nothing. Boaters pulled up to load up and they didn't get anything either thought they said they were trying to figure out their new depth/fish finder more yhan anything.

[@Wired2Fish]

And that's the beauty of fish! Keeps us going to figure them out, but have the ability to humble us. Love the dedication -- you'll be rewarded with that kind of focus and experimentation.

[@stevegerber835]

No shad in my lake

[@victorsimonsen921]

what if your lake has no shad?

[@Wired2Fish]

They we recommend adjusting color patterns to best match the most prevalent forage types be it bluegill, perch, shiners, crappies, etc.

[@floridaboysbassfishing1144]

not trying to steal views but just made my first video its very helpful on learning about lures

[@jholl7339]

Wow, this didn't read like a Strike King ad at ALL..... 🙄

[@Diego_Xander]

take a shot every time he says “ball o’ bait”

[@austinbrunner1706]

How small are this guys thrums, he said, “real small ones size of your thumbnail to the size of your thumb.. an inch long”

[@schapediddly]

So obviously I agree, you will definitely catch fish with all these lures throughout fall. But the one lure that needs to be on this list is a fluke. All my best days in the fall have been on a fluke.
