Fall fishing can be incredible, but it can also test your patience.
Between high tides, strong winds, and dirty water, this time of year can make you question every lure in your tackle box.
That’s exactly why I put this video together.
I’ve spent years figuring out what actually works in tough fall conditions.
In this video, I’ll show you how to save time, save money, and catch more fish by breaking down 4 lures that consistently produce (and exactly how to use them.)

Is the gold digger a good color for Mississippi since we have very murky water.
Got the lures, just need to find the time to go!
Pat thank you very much for those great tips. I am going to Lake Wedowee in Alabama this weekend and hopefully will get a bass to brag about (or a few). I have also found in lakes and fresh water, the whopper plopper is deadly and almost better than anything else. Probably doesn’t hold true in brackish. Anyways tight lines and thanks again, JK
That Whopper Plopper can work in the right conditions in the salt too! Hope your trip was a great one!
Another great video Pat!! You can cover a lot of information in a matter of minutes 😂
I do say a lot of words per minute! Appreciate you watching and hope it helps!
lol
Great video, Pat.
Thanks Edgar!
Excellent video and info, thanks Pat!
Thanks JD!
Thanks Pat, enjoyed the video but being a top water junky both fresh and salt you gave me a few things to think about with my surface retrieves.
Nothing better than a top water bite!
Great info Pat. I use all the lures you mentioned. The trick is finding the fish.
As always! Lure selection becomes much easier after you find the fish! Thanks for watching!
As always, great info Pat! Thanks for all of your hard work. I picked up some weighted swim bait hooks with the under spin recently and was thinking of trying them in the fall, have you or anyone else tried these?
Yes I have, they do work in various conditions. I like them when the water is dirty, gives off some extra flash and vibration. Flounder lover them too!
Don’t you guys sell Fish Bites anymore?
I think there was an issue when we changed over to third party shipping but I believe they are working on getting it back.
