Targeting Late Fall Smallmouth | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Clausen has found that at times a jerkbait is the perfect wait to catch the last of the remaining larger smallmouth from shallower water before they shift into their fall patterns.

Targeting Late Fall Smallmouth | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "In part one of this article, we looked at how early fall smallmouth relate to shallower water.  Bassmaster Elite pros Luke Clausen and Jonathon VanDam as well as top Canadian stick, Nick Cousvis, are back at it for part two.  They’ll weigh in on where smallmouth will stage before they head to their winter haunts and the best way to catch them once water temps begin to consistently dip well below 60 degrees."

Swimbaits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "That's right! They're not just for spawning fish anymore. Lakes like Don Pedro in the Sierra Foothills have an abundance of big bass that have discovered the benefits of eating trout. For a big bass, she can do quite well eating just one trout per week. Using this knowledge, a serious trophy hunter can take advantage of their eating habits. You won't catch large numbers of fish, but the ones you do hook will wear your arms out and test your equipment."

Finding A Seasonal Pattern | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Seasonal bass fishing

Finding A Seasonal Pattern | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Rick Clunn has been a pro bass fisherman for over 40 years, and he knows that the very first step to catching fish is finding them.  Facing a large body of water can be daunting, especially if you have never been there before.  You may have acres of fishy-looking water in front of you: coves, sloughs, rip-rap, lay downs – the list of possible bass haunts is endless.  So how on earth do you decide where to start? If you just grab a bait and start pounding the bank, it could take forever to figure them out.  There’s a much better way. "
