Some November Tactics that Catch Fish Before the month ends I thought I would spend a little time describing some of the various successful tactics that catch bass in November and early December. The key to this period is to remember that the bass are feeding in the extreme shallow water. When you combine shallow water techniques with grass you start to limit the type of fishing presentations that will work effectively in the remaining grass. The first presentation to me is to find grass that has reseeded down from the top of the water 6 to 10 inches; this allows you to pull small short arm spinner baits over the grass. The good thing about short arm spinner baits is the pure fact that the blades do not gather the grass up on the blades nearly as much as a long arm spinner bait do. The flash added with slight deflection off of the grass causes strikes and some really good fish can be caught this way! Next is to find the fish in the middle part of the sunny type days we have in November. This time of day generally moves the bass a little deeper away from the sunlight and it is an ideal time to work rattle baits in 6 to 10 feet of water over short grass. You probably can’t fish anything heavier than ½ oz. but that is all you need to hook up with some good fish. As in the spring that yo-yoing motion will get the strikes so drop it and stop it, just a little quicker so you’re not hanging the grass. A good way not to hang the grass is to use a non stretch line as it will pull through the grass and keep moving. Lastly if you’re a jig fisherman, lay downs, boat houses and rip-rap are just loaded with shallow bass feeding before the winter pushes in. Pitch that jig in and around cover, work the corners and pylons around the boat houses very methodically and you can find a big stringer of fish.

The Extreme Sensitivity of Tru- Tungsten Weights Until the last several years, weights were weights; you would buy lead weights and fish with them and never realize that there could be a product that really makes a difference when worm fishing. Fish Harder Companies and their Tru-Tungsten weights have changed all that. Their worm weights are extremely sensitive because they are smaller, smoother and slip through snags with ease. The Tungsten product has revolutionized the art of worm fishing. You can now sense the bottom structure; your ability to distinguish between sand, gravel, rock mud and wood is now much easier than ever before. With the traditional lead weight unless you went really heavy everything felt the same; and as we all know bottom structure is very important to catching fish. In fact spawn and hot summer fishing is all about bottom structure on Guntersville as we are always looking for muscle shell beds in the hot water and bass will seek out a hard bottom to spawn on in the spring. The other advantage is bait penetration in heavy cover, so many times over the years fishing lead weights you would think while flipping that your bait is on the bottom and it isn’t because its caught up in weeds. The smaller size and the extremely polished finish of a Tungsten weight allows it to slip through heavy grass or cover and get to the bottom with ease. The weights also come in 6 colors to match most soft plastic colors, and make your bait look more realistic in the water. The interesting thing to me is how Fish Harder Company has developed several products to compliment the Tungsten weight, like jigs, shaky heads, weights for swim baits and hollow bodied frogs. These products are weighted with Tungsten and allow for the same advantages of using their worm weights. You get a smaller profile head or weight and the products throw farther, fall to the bottom easier and catch more fish. The Tru-Tungsten advantage applies to these products and allow for you to be more precise in casts, feel the bottom better and penetrate heavy cover easier than ever before. If you haven’t experienced the Tru-Tungsten advantage its time you do so. You will find that fish-catching ability over comes the added cost for these products, and you’re putting more bass in the boat.
