Fall Search Baits can be Different

The fall bite is on, and finding fish is the key to the great activity and success that we are having this fall; the key is finding the bass as they are generally stacked together in the fall and when you find them the fun has just begun! There are certainly many different baits that are successful in finding fall bass but what I like can be a little unique.
First and foremost I believe that search baits are not always created equal and if you are looking for just bites it is different than searching for big bites especially in the fall! My keys are big fish big search baits, small fish smaller search baits. I also feel strongly that searching for fish in the fall is different than in the summer or even the spring. The difference is that in the fall one of your best search baits is searching via top water; where we hardly ever search for bass on top any other time of year.

One of the most versatile baits ever made is the Zara Spook and it allows you in the fall to search on top and use different size search baits to find fish with. If you抮e looking for tournament size fish you can search with their full size spook or if your just fishing for bites you can down size your spook and go smaller very easily and with the same presentation.

I also like searching with swim baits in the fall, as it allows you to follow the same philosophy easily using big swim baits to find bigger fish, and down size to find bites. It is also a great presentation to search different depths as swim baits are easily counted down to different depths to find fish that will react while suspending. Search baits are a big part of fall fishing, there are different ways and baits to search with that can make your fishing day very successful; you certainly do not need to always use baits that everyone else uses especially in the fall.
