Fishing Report 10/19/24
There is no doubt in my mind, as the water temperature drops into the mid 60’s the bass are moving into the shallows as they are in the transition spots on the lake; some are already shallow, and many are on their way! If you find the schooling fish you can really have a great day, but they are not everywhere and they are definitely schooling more in the afternoon.
We mainly fish moving baits, Tight-Line swim jigs, Duckett spinner baits, SPRO rattle baits and when we are looking for the bigger bite Missile Bait D-Bombs have been successful. The key is to see fish on my Lowrance Active Target if I don’t see them, I move on as the transition move has them in one place one day and gone the next.
Come fish with me, my Winter Special is about to kick in for the months of November, December and January with big discounts for those months call 256 759 2270 to take advantage of the discount.

Big Baits for Big Fall Bass
As we approach winter it is a time of year where size matters; at no time during the fishing year is the size of your bait more important than fall if you’re looking for size! If your wanting to catch big quality bass, fish with big baits, like 7 inch swim baits, ¾ oz. jigs with large trailers that give the jig a bulky look; even ¾ to 1 oz. spinner baits with large willow leaf blades will produce that big bite. Fishing big baits normally in the fall eliminates small fish from biting as matching the hatch is a key to catching numbers but not always size. That old saying “big baits catch big fish,” is key to getting quality bites.
The thing many fishermen do not realize is that large bass pick their prey and the bigger the better as their feeding is very selective and large presentations entice that big fish. I know you all have heard that saying that at this time of year (fall) you’re fishing for a few big bites; I believe this is true so if the big bites are limited than the presentation of large baits becomes even more important. Size does matter; bass are selective, they want to feed selectively for easy prey and that large presentation can lead you to that big sack, as we all hunt big fall bass.
Some of the baits I like with large profiles are 1 oz. Spinner baits as they have big willow leaf blades that get to the bottom easily and becomes a great large profile bait to slow roll on the bottom this time of year. I also like Tight-Line ¾ oz. football jig you combine that big jig with a Missile Bait D-bomb trailer or Drop Craw or big Missile Craw will produce big bites with this jig as it really entices those big females. Don’t underestimate the power of a big swim bait, some of those very expensive large swim baits that worked slowly over grass can become your best friend; these baits can be very expensive but fall time proves their worth.
Big baits produce big fish and you’ll have a big time on the water; you just have to get on the water to prove it!
