Key Baits For Fishing The Fall Transition + Fishing On Lake Guntersville!

The Fall transition is here and bass fishing is beginning to change! Stay ahead of the shift in weather by adapting both your baits and the locations you’re targeting. Today we’ve hopped in the boat with Tim for a day of fishing on Lake Guntersville! Come along, it should be fun!

Tim’s day begins with a cold wind, and ends with slick calm conditions and sunshine. Watch how he constantly adapts to the changing conditions and focuses on key baits to get bit. He talks through subtle details about the baitfish, as well as his mindset throughout the day. He even takes the time to show some of his bait modifications.

Below you’ll find links to all the baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. We’ve included his exact rod and reel combos, as well as specifics on bait colors, trailers, sizes, etc. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
