Tricks for Spinner Bait Fishing As we get into the fall the ability to catch fish on spinner baits will pick up tremendously, the bass will be feeding and getting ready for the cold weather. There are I believe some very distinct tricks in presentation that will make you a better fisherman with a spinner bait. First of all let’s talk about when to pick up your spinner bait. I believe that the fall brings many ideal days for spinner bait fishing because we always get many days with north winds. With many cool windy days like this it gives you many opportunities to work spinner baits. There is a chop on the water and the bass are generally active, the boat is moving too fast for a worm or a jig but it is ideal for your favorite spinner bait. On Guntersville because we have a lot of grass and you have found the ideal day, you just need to down size you weight to a 3/8 oz. spinner bait, match the color to the water and your ready to go. The next fall trick I believe is size of the bait, not weight; I like a small frame spinner bait like Punisher 3/8 oz. small frame spinner bait. It tough, it catches fish and has a good sharp hook. Now that you are set up with the correct bait and size the next trick is to entice a bite, here is where technique becomes key. I have said this many times before but spinner baits are worked with your wrist and rod tip as well as correct rigging to give them action. The technique is simply one of ticking the top of the structure like grass, wood etc. and letting the bait deflect off or bounce off the bottom structure. Then when you’re working the bait, and get to the end of the grass line letting the bait helicopter down off the edge or around trees and structure. The deflection or sudden stop and drop cause’s the bite, as the bass will react to the change of direction with their aggressive nature.
