Typically in the fall I am always throwing a double willow leaf combination that variation can be a 4 to a 4.5 willow leaf combination and it will be a shad color pattern skirt. On big wind or cloudy days I will switch up and grab a spinnerbait. Those two baits are big when the bass are feeding on shad. The versatility of that bait is incredible due to the depth range we are talking a bait that can only dive 1 to 3ft and can be adjusted to be at different depth in the water column by changing the line size. It’s that bait that you can just pick up and go with. The 115 is a floating bait that I can fish on the flat, over grass or wood and laydowns and covers a lot of water. On the other hand if I am fishing water that has some color to it and the bass are shallow feeding on Gizzard shad that is prime for a McStick 115. It is a smaller profile bait that goes back to matching the hatch. Early on in my career I like everyone else threw a spinnerbait, but now when the bass will not commit to the spinnerbait I’ll switch to the 95. On lakes that are relatively clear that have a lot of little minnows hanging out around on the banks is when the McStick 95 is the deal.
MIKR MCLLAND FAVORITE COLOR WAR EAGLE SPINNERBAIT PLUS
For me the McStick is a huge player plus they have a size and color for every fishing situation. Anytime the bass are chasing bait there is no better time to use a stickbait especially with a little bit of water color and light wind conditions. Through the course of the fall when the bass start to get active a McStick is my bait choice. What are the bass feeding on? Do you have gizzard shad or threadfin shad, in the north the main food source may be bluegills? One of the biggest keys in the fall is matching the hatch – what the bass are feeding on. Keep a close eye on when they move into the creeks and pay special attention to the types of bait that the bass are keying in on. Look at the transition time that you have to focus on, you have to pay close attention to the bait fish. Fall is a very broad season and will depend on the part of the country that you live in, in the north fall may be only a month where in the southern states it may last four months. Mike starts with what I consider the fall time fishing is when we get the first true cold fronts, the water temps starting to drop and the baitfish start their migration up into the backs of the creeks. The following is Mikes Fab Four for fall bass fishing in his own words. Mike McClelland talks about fall fishing and his approach for catching bass in the fall.
