When you’re fall fishing for bass and trout, crankbaits, topwater lures, and mice tails can help you get things going when the fishing is tough. In this episode I end up with three fish that were caught on three different days because the fishing has been pretty slow lately. I caught a couple largemouth bass – one on an Ozark Trail Plopper and another on an H20 Xpress Crankbait. Using a powerbait mice tail I caught the rainbow trout. The fishing should get better when the water cools down and hopefully I can get the boat out soon.
Topwater lures and crankbaits can still catch a few if you are on the bank. Check it out in the video below.
