Typically I will start with a shallow running crank bait (4-7 ft), usually in a smoked shad color. Suspending jerk bait, or plastic fluke comes next. If the bite is really tough, or bass are holding deep or tight to cover, a shaky head with a trick work usually does the trick.

If none of that works, time to dip into the "panic box," sac-a-lait type baits, have done well on some of these, and hey, if I catch a nice stringer of perch, I can still chalk it up in the win column.

What say the OB?

I generally am fishing hydrilla in the Fall. Not by choice, but that's just where I spend my time in October.

I target points in the grass and shear walls. I can always catch a lunch-sack on a short c-rig with finesse worms.

lipless crankbait on points is probably my favorite way to catch em this time of year

Not if you originally set out for bass. You're killing just to kill.

I pretty much just fish like normal and catch less. I'm no bassmaster

I'm obviously the most ignorant fisherman ever.

Cadella said all I needed was a worm.

Oh, well... guess I'll keep reading ya'lls bs.

My main change is spinnerbaits. Change from Willow Leaf to Colorado blades. Usually go bigger and fish much slwer.
