3 Great Bass Fishing Lures for Chasing Schooling Bass in the Fall By Walker Smith

Fall bass fishing is a weird creature. It’s tough to run into both quantity and quality in a single day on the water. For me at least, it seems like I have to make a decision right when I launch my boat. Do I want to get fewer bites to catch bigger bass or vice versa?
While I love chasing big bass, it’s hard to avoid the temptation to get out there and just yank on dozens of bass all day long. As the baitfish starts infiltrating the shallow creeks and pockets this time of year, a bunch of bass are right behind them which can lead to an absolute bass beatdown. These schoolers aren’t always big, but this is an awesome way to catch fish until you’re too tired to cast anymore.
Sometimes it seems like these schoolers would eat your flip flop if you threw it towards ’em, but they can definitely get a little finicky at times. I was thinking in my shop the other night and realized that when the fall schooler bite gets tough for me, I tend to reach for three particular lures time and time again.
