Top 5 Baits For November Bass Fishing!

Bass fishing is awesome in November! You can catch bass shallow or deep, near current or out on points. You can catch them chasing bait or gathering on offshore structure! This transitional month is a great time to be on the water!
All you have to do in November is decide which group of fish you want to chase. Do you want to go shallow while there is still a topwater bite? Do you want to go deep and start locating the haunts your fish will use all Winter? The options are endless and so are the baits we use to target them!
Below you'll find links to Tim's top bait choices from each category. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.

[@Sher0420-v]

Links to everything in the dropdown is one of many reasons why you guys are the best in the game. Thanks, Tim and Matt.

[@joshuagreene9976]

Top 5 baits with 20 on deck, Love it!

[@jonorech]

You guys always boost me up. Boated very few fish trying a nearby lake for spots. Discouraging. Watching this has me energized for my next trip to that lake. Thanks, Tim.

[@mattcapobianco4544]

Us northern anglers really appreciate you throwing in some more specific stuff for us! Keep up the great work you guys have taught me a lot!

[@nawinchester]

absolutely just crushed them yesterday in the northeast throwing a walking bait, almost exclusively. Only changed up to give my arms a rest from throwing the walking bait. Pinned a 5lber and a 3 1/2 lber and a bunch of 2s... Had never really fished a walking bait, let alone a top water in late fall. TREMENDOUS FUN!

[@JamFlexx]

just got a Zara spook yesterday, can't wait to try it out

[@JustJoshua73]

Right on time for me. Going to break out a frog now… already got most of the rest rigged up. Just need to get out there at this point. Good video as always, thank you!

[@tatumedwards212]

Been following you guys for a couple years now and just love your videos. So much passion and enthusiasm, doesn’t matter that you’ve done countless amounts of videos, I know I’ll always be leaving a video wanted to get on the water!!

[@ronjewett9117]

U guys catch more in one video than I do all year, no matter whose video I watch. Thinking pickleball...

here is what i tell everyone search your local laws find that loophole and use it to your advantage cause i've had great success on the *Texas Rigged* Eagle Claw *2X treble hook* paired with a hottdog and dude im telling you i've slayed channel cats and bait fish using that method before however i would recommend doing this march through september time frame works for me

[@starwars095]

Hey Tim: Another great video as always. One thing I’ve noticed about you guys is that for the most part you may not be brand specific but in my opinion you tend to focused way to much on high end brands and not talk much about less expensive brands that are still affective. Just my $.02 worth. Thanks

[@jfravel135]

So happy that fall has arrived. The summer was tough in Little Rock. Ready to find some active not so deep blacks. Always good to hear your encouraging voice with fresh ideas.

[@MichaelBollinger]

Thanks for not forgetting about us way up north! Or as us Minnesotans say, "Up Nörd"

[@donkswampey3874]

I really appreciate you guys distinguishing between the north and south. So many of these videos talk about still fishing a frog in November and December lol while I’m breaking through ice to get my boat in the water. Although I have caught fish early November on a frog lol

[@juliolua2104]

I can tell your having a great year Matt! 👊👍😎💯💪🌅 Great to see it... you and your fam deserve it... you guys give us a lot! 🎣💯🧠🔥💪

The little 32 acre, 90’ deep, clear lake I fish in KY is already at 60 degrees. Trout being stocked Nov 1. I hope rain holds off that day

[@treehunter1]

Florida anglers when they try to use a treble hooked lure from the water lettuce and hyacinth infested shoreline: 👁️👄👁️

[@brohain612]

Lol exactly why I always go with weedless options

[@Huntn_fish365]

A light lipless can work wonders in this grassy Florida waters. Also the strike king shallow hybrid hunter ripped through that stuff like the lipless can get some good bites

[@msowell21]

I'm a florida guy I throw lipless and bladebait just got to keep it moving and accept the fact you have to clean the grass off your hooks every other cast 😅

[@brohain612]

@@Huntn_fish365 I tried to find that lure in store to no avail, but found a similar lure (6th sense swank 66x) and bought it. 3 hours in = 1 dink. Honestly it’s the worst crank I’ve used, ridiculously noisy but mostly because it doesn’t suspend. Moment you stop it shoots straight up like a balloon. Will be sticking to traps

[@BOOTEDUPFL]

Lol always a pain in the ass bank fishing with anything with trebles hooks down here. Something I do is let it float to the top once I get close to the bank, then once it’s on the surface kinda yoke it up out onto the bank

[@matthall8378]

I been catching bass on my river in Ohio burning crankbaits and using poppers. The last few days the bass pro shop xps chrome/black back squarebill has been working well. I also get a bass or 2 on poppers in bone or shad at the end of the day usually. I try all the other stuff people recommend like spinnerbaits/ chatterbaits, jerkbaits and walking baits but never have any luck with them. The weather has been windy and crappy though. I keep trying though!

[@masonfethkenher1969]

Thanks bud 32 degrees today and snow tomorrow but still gonna try to hit them tomorrow

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

Good luck brother 💪👊

Central Ohio ponds during this time. What's your 5? Could use some help. Appreciate you!!!

[@Milehighsnake98]

All my stuff is put away here in Colorado. Boat was winterized almost 2 months ago because I haven't been able to afford to use it this year. The last 3 years have been horrible, and this year was the worst.

[@garrettbusby2684]

Hands down my most favorite part is that there aren't a bunch of people fishing this time of year

[@krdpoutdoors]

couple baits that i have has great success with are 1. crankbait 2.rat-L trap by bill lewis 3.Zoom Rootbeer Speed craw , another method i've caught them on especially bream , was to texas rig Eagle Claw *2X treble hook with a hottdog* and i slayed them another is a spinnerbait

[@davidronquillo963]

Hello Tim. Awsome the improve in your speech. Congratulations.

[@brandonmerideth5450]

I would love to see a video based on water temperature! I have two lakes by me one is below the damn and it stays consistently cooler than the lake above so they fish very different! As of the last time I went out to both of them the one above is at 65 and the one below was at 57 degrees but I feel like even though it’s 57. Anyway long story short if there was a video that had bait recommendations depending on water temp would be super cool!

[@jamesbarron1202]

We went from temps in the 90s and it’s supposed to hit 28 in the same month in October. Crazy Texas weather.

[@johnmejorado13]

Fellas, I listened to you and adjusted to my local pond waters and caught an 8 lb 3 oz. pig on a megabass 110 jr in pro blue. Shallow pond, do I did not go for the 110 jr. +1. Fishing from the bank in the middle of the day with high sky and some wind. Biggest I’ve caught here in central Illinois. Thanks for the advice guys!

[@Fishboy68]

Thanks Tim one ? Why the trailer on the football jig up north with action in the colder water,and the pitching jig with no action ? Seems to me this time of year with colder water temps you would not want much action on any jig .

[@farrzmd3038]

Great video. I’ve already transitioned to these baits 3 weeks ago lol. Fall felt like it started early this year. My main fishing spot during that first cold spell dropped from 67 degree to 48-51 degree water temps over the span of 1.5 weeks.

[@evangoesfishing]

Ito Clear Laker is such a good looking color from Megabass!

[@Falling831]

Hey quick question. You mentioned northern fisherman, and Florida fisherman, but where would you lump California fisherman? I think our reservoirs have Florida strain bass and ill mainly be fishing reservoirs 15 minutes south of San Jose since its the most productive bass fishing close to my home. Sometimes I'll head to Monterey, Ca since its only 10 minutes away from my home while any other body of water is an hour+ but its this little muddy murky pond completely different water clairity too the clear reservoirs i fish north of me. It's across from the fishermans warf and does have largemouth too, but have yet too catch anything. I've just gotten back into bass fishing and have been watching all your video's, but get confused on what lures and colors to buy for California reservoirs, so i basically end up buying one of every lure you list in the description lol. So my question is where would you lump us California bass fisherman? Thanks for taking the time to read, and I hope you or somebody in the comments can help out. Love your videos btw! Most helpful channel anywhere on the internet and i always point people in need of help your direction ❤ 🎣

Can anyone recommend a channel similar to TB that features someone from the North East area (MA, NY, CT, NH, NJ) for fall fishing tips? Everything most channels (not from the North East) say isn’t working here in MA right now (Nov 2023)!

[@jenlvjim]

On your arig with the screw head without hooks the baits don't want to run right vs running a weighted dummy head. Do you know why?

[@Spray_n_Pray1551]

Need someone’s help. I’m up in northern Ny and can pretty consistently catch on any top water bait any time if the year. But any time I’m using something that I can’t see, I feel helpless. Spent probably 40% of my time fishing this year forcing myself off top water, and brought 4 fish in. Did really well with top water as I said before but I just can’t seem to understand what to do what it’s not It’s discouraging lol, I’d like to become more versatile but I have no confidence when I can’t see the lure

[@richardkelley2016]

@nathaniel4254 I live in the finger lakes region of upstate NY and have had the opposite on top water this season. Can't explain why bc we usually tear them up throughout the summer. This year has only produced a handful of small fish. My partner has been doing this technique while I'm throwing other baits. This season I got more into techniques that I wanted to be more confident in. Gika rig has done well for me and the last month and a half have been destroying on a Carolina rig deeper on the finger lakes. Ready for the jerkbait bite again bc it's so much fun. My other go to that has done well in the past for big fish and hasn't produced this season was the spinnerbait and I'm not sure why. Just did a tourny Saturday and landed a 6.8 with 15 minutes left on a chatter donk of all things. Don't be afraid to experiment bc it's been paying off for me this season. Landed 2 7lbers in the same day on cayuga in the spring jigging a new bait I never used before either. Best of luck
