Jigs for Fall and Winter


Nothing tastes better to a bass than a crayfish and nothing emulates that than a jig! Jigs can be fished all year long with success. Above is a Bass Patrol 3/8 oz green pumpkin jig with a trimmed Creme black and blue craw trailer.

Other trailers that are natural and can be used include paca craws like the ones below along with worms and senkos.


The weight of jigs that I typically use is 1/4 to 1/2 oz. I also use a lot of football style jigs because there is a lot of rock around the places I fish. There is also clear water year around mostly so the other colors I use is green pumpkin blue like below in a 1/2 oz and a green pumpkin red in a 3/8 oz secondly.

More spinnerbaits


Went fishing again this morning in the cold Fall air. This time the water temps are at 70 and the water is turning over.

The transition is great no matter what the barometric pressure is reading. High pressure systems with wind out of the East doesn't deter the spinnerbait bite in the Fall! 

War Eagle spinnerbait in sexy shad with a double willow leaf blade setup is best around the mouths of creeks and around emergent and submergent vegetation. Try one burning it around this cover and see what happens!
