Mastering Fall Bass Fishing: Unlocking the Secrets of the 3 Stages!

[@raymaylone8563]

Would love to see you do one about the seasonal movements in river systems! Everybody always focuses on lakes, but rivers are a whole different monster! You rock

[@ChanceAngelo]

Completely agree!

[@HarlyGuy13]

Yes PLEASE!

[@pauleyplay]

SO well said !

[@ryanpauls9117]

I hope so as well!

[@williammarkward2088]

Yes! Make a river one!

Always giving us that extra peice of info that not to many people want to tell us.

Excellent Mike way to break it down in simpler terms keep them coming

[@baronofb.5323]

I watched this a week ago, and it was so helpful I wanted to circle back and say thank you. I’m in my mid 50’s, back to the gym after a too long break. I’ve been an off and on gym goer, in “decent” shape for my age but now aware I need to get at it just to protect what I have. I enjoy dumbbell bench press and this helped me immensely. I was limited by a terrible entry/exit and also shoulder pain. Angling the dumbbells and learning how to enter/exit added 10# to my comfortable weight and I expect another 5-10# quickly as I’m so much more confident and comfortable. I like your video style and am following you now for more great content. Thank you!👍🏻

[@markmoore2495]

Love your videos mike, your a great teacher. easy to listen to clear and concise. seasonal updates are great.

[@davidblake5199]

Mike I think I missed you saying this last fall FALL FEED 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 my memories at last fall they got stacked up so much I caught him almost every cast, lol in Georgia Have three at 9.5 pounds and still looking for that 10 pounder, my brother

[@billsutorius2753]

Great video quality IKE!!! Great lighting, clarity and focus. It looks great. 💥 I really like your plan and bait selections for the three periods of fall. 👍🎣🇺🇸

[@rickwilson8754]

Mike, thanks for breaking it down so that I can understand. I have always struggled to try to pattern bass.

[@davidblake5199]

Ike you’ve helped me over the fall feed years gone by. Thank you so much.

[@MrRashad776]

This was right on time good brother!!! I always need a refresher course during this time of the year. Thank you for making it simple.

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Any time!

[@randallhalley1742]

Very informative and your explanations and analogies are perfect. We all gain from your experience and love your advice! Thanks again for all you do

[@garyplowman5838]

Thanks Mike this will definitely help me out with this Fall season bite and I'm from the North East 👍🏻🎣

[@Blahppp]

Fall bass fishing is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Justin_Mooney11]

Mad Mike Ike ……. Lovin the seasonal uploads brother , love hearin you talk about the fall truly is special time of year ( especially way north ) as many uploads as possible this fall Mike I’m all ears everytime

[@emilycooper6920]

This was spot on!!

[@johno7435]

Here in South Florida, our bass seasons seem to run a bit differently from the rest of the country. We basically cycle through summer, pre-spawn, spawn, and post-spawn - with some overlap! Our summer stretches from late May to early October, and from late October to early January, the bass start feeding heavily in preparation for spawning. The actual spawn happens in phases around the full moon, sometimes more than once, from late November through early April. Post-spawn kicks off in February and lasts until May when our summer begins again! 😉

[@BillyJohnson-jk6bo]

Swear to god tho

[@jamescampwbhs]

Slick almost like that where I am in North Ga. Area Depending on how harsh or mild the “winter” is.

[@dgroves85]

I miss throwing crankbaits. The places I fish now cranking never really comes into play. But I remember how fun it is to catch them on crankbaits.

[@Nate_Higgins]

I'm with you man. I'm gonna throw some cranks tomorrow. I feel like I can at least pick up a bite or two. Might be wistful thinking. We'll see.

[@Nate_Higgins]

[@corvette_jake7225]

They still bite crankbaits guys. Just in different areas and at different depths. All I fish are crankbaits and really big glidebaits/swimbaits all year long

[@joshuamackiewicz2182]

Great video Mike! Would love to see a video on river smallmouth and their fall transitions. Here in Pennsylvania being an angler without a boat I fish rivers and creeks the most. Thanks Mike!

[@jjstierman]

Only thing i wish people would do in videos like this are show like a contour map and explain the areas your looking at to give those(like me) who isn't really up on all the lingo lol. And what evrryone else said. A river video would be awesome. I only fish the Mississippi River

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Thanks for the input we can work on this!

[@mattfleming86]

Fish the moment- youtube channel. EXACTLY what you are asking for and he is super intelligent and explains things well so that anyone can understand it. Another amazing channel.

[@ericks860]

All good info, thank you Ike.

[@michaelangelo6947]

Here in south Louisiana, I smash them on jerkbaits in December and January in freshwater. In brakish water, I catch them on lipless crankbaits.

[@johndynneson662]

Mississippi River. Places (. Once you figure what there bitting on )) current brakes seams. You can get into em. Smally’s. Walleye pike Once days get shorter. They go vac down streem to wintering grounds. Miles sometimes

[@mattmitchell9298]

You would make a phenomenal 3rd grade teacher😂. That's a compliment!

Great tips Mike!

[@teddylowe4018]

Awesome video, good job!

[@caedenw4]

been waiting for this video! thanks Mike! this makes me wonder though, where would the fish go for fall in a small reservoir that is like a uniform bowl with no points or humps or drainage?

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Good question! I would look for any inflow of water coming into that bowl there should still be water getting in somehow. Also look for minute changes where it could cause them to be. Might not be as obvious but there are relating to something!

[@swedishfish2543]

Great engaging speaker. IKE!!!

[@aapozyan]

Great video Mike. Thanks

[@caseysaunders2137]

Great Video. Thanks

[@everett8069]

Great video, i learned a lot! Ive got a lake that im fishing at (well three lakes connected by extremely shallow creeks) There are piles of baitfish in those creeks but i mever see or get hits from any predators (bass/pike lake). Would you fish the mouth of those creeks?

[@michealsmith101]

The scientific problems with these fish "transitions" is, as far as I know, non-typical weather patterns. Like this ENTIRE week, Rain, Rain Rain Rain!!!! for 4 days, now what is that going to do to the fish? Will they start the Fall transition early? I'm fairly new to Bass fishing, only my 3rd year, I've learned A LOT from you Mr. Iaconelli and I appreciate the detailed videos, they have really helped me land more and bigger fish.

[@valleycraftblades]

The only thing rain really affects is there appetite at the time. They seem to eat more before the rain and slow down while it's raining. But after it clears up it's pretty much back to normal. But I still get bit I just wouldn't throw a topwater while it's raining.

[@anglertoanglerfishing6652]

Great video! Very helpful. If you have a chance to answer a question for me that would be great. How are you rigging the fluke? Thanks!

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Multiple options to rig a fluke! Look back in my ike in the shop playlist here on youtube and you will find a fluke video to help you!

[@anglertoanglerfishing6652]

@@mikeiaconellifishing Thank you! I'll check it out!

[@FM-qq2kk]

Hi Mike - Up here in New England at what water temperature does a Craws Metabolism slow down and they start to burrow into the rocks to spend the winter months ? Are all the bait fish 3plus inches now or are there still some small ones from a late summer hatch? Does the Gillie come in an Alewife imitation for fishing brackish rivers and ponds that are connected by an inlet to the Ocean??

[@yuhaszzz1534]

Hey Mike what would you use for bodies of water that are heavy weeds and algae I feel every cast I take I reel in a 5lbs of algae. Thanks Mike, Jersey on top

[@FishingWithCotton]

Always good advice

[@zach_mccane5888]

I got a question for you Mike since I went fishing this morning the lake I fished in the Midwest was 5 to 7 feet down. What’s the first thing you would be looking for?

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

The first cover the fish can get to after the falling water!

[@USMCdad470]

Mike!!! I’m heading to the Colorado River in October. What if any advice? Close to Blythe, ca.

[@PerryShriver]

good stuff.🤔👍

[@brucesmithoutdoors]

Hey Mike, do you feel a jerk bait is good in the 1st phase of fall? Thanks. Enjoyed the video.

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Jerkbait is also a GREAT bait to use!

[@Fishboy68]

Thanks Mike ,up here in Pa at what water temp do you think starts to move the fish out of their summer haunts? Thank you

[@davidblake5199]

Bait, Bait, Bait!

[@BookmanBassin]

How do you rig your flukes? I have a weighted one tied on right now.

[@hawkeyefishguy]

You mentioned pockets and coves. What is the difference? Thanks!!!

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Pockets go farther back in and away from main lake!

[@hunterh1033]

Here in the Upper Bay I was catching the majority of my fish (sometimes 40 in a couple hours) in the creeks already while the water was in the 90's. So if that's the case and they're already there, what do I do to adjust? I was smacking em on wacky worms and slow moving plastics during that time. I guess I just stay in the same areas and start throwing the moving baits.. Last year this time I had a decent bit of success running a whopper plopper right down thick weed edges in the morning/evening.

[@ufolaoguy5240]

u awesome thank you bro

[@jukebox5308]

If you can catch fish in NJ you can catch fish anywhere

[@johndynneson662]

In. Minnesota I’ve caught them through the ice. In green weeds 5-10 ft of water Hight if the winter. Through 12” of ice. Not always true migrating to deep water. Just saying

[@rjknoppe]

Tried all these techniques on lake St. Clair today. Didn't catch anything. St Clair can give you your best days, then make you want to quit fishing.

That’s how it goes sometimes! Keep at it!
