Fall Shoreline Bass

Before we move on to looking at fall-winter fishing for panfish, there was one more point I would like to put down about targeting fall bass. We were talking about covering water with Crankbaits in search of fish and concentrating on the weed lines in somewhat deeper water in finding these fish. By no means, don’t overlook the shoreline structure while fall fishing for bass as well. Docks, rocks, left over weeds and wood are targets that should be fished as well since on those days that the sun is shining, these objects absorb heat from the sun and actually warm the water there and the fish are attracted to these areas as well. Baits that we would throw in these locations would be jigs, jigworms, weightless plastics and tube baits. Fishing these targets can be very productive as well as crankin’ the weed lines. It all comes down to what the fish are looking for and they are the ones that are going to dictate where you are going to catch them. Take advantage of these locations especially in the afternoon and you may be surprised as to what you may find in those areas.
