My Fall and Winter Biats for this Year
 

I have already stocked up on a few lures that I am wanting to try out this fall and winter. Some I have already started using, and others I haven't. Anyways, what I was hoping is that some of you could post up what your favorite fall lures were, or what some of the new lures that you will be trying out this fall/winter are. All the lures shown are in the colors that I am using.

The first is a new plastic from ZOOM, its a SWIMMING fluke with a paddle tail. Thus far, I have had fantastic results with this lure on a 5/0 Weighted EWG Gamakatsu hook. I cast it out as far as I can, and peel off line as I let it sink to the bottom on its own. The lure slowly sinks to the bottom in a circular path with the paddle tail "swimming" all the way down. When I catch a fish with this approach, most of the time there is weight on the line when I reel up the slack and I simply set the hook.



Hand Tied Har Jig
These just came in the mail this week so I haven't had a chance to use them, but I am looking forward to giving them a whirl. I think the hair will help slow down the fall and keep the lure in teh strike range longer. Also, I am hoping the fluctuations of the hair will tantalize the bass into biting, haha.



Compact Spinner Bait
I really liked the looks of the lure, and when you purchase it, you have the option of selecting whatever blade style you want, the number of blades, the size of the lure, skirts, everything. With that many options, how can you say no?




Rapala X-Rap
Looking to try out this suspending jerk-bait along ledges into deeper water, or around some mid-level structure. I have fished it a few times, but I haven't caught anything with it yet.

Mine are ..

#1 Rubber Worm

# 2 Rooster tail that is it...for the fall

NOV. and DEC. stink in Florida;.our bass get lock jaw..so most fishermen go for specks/ crappie

they had a case of the lock jaw yesterday. I didnt even get a bite on lunch. The small lake was actually white capping from the wind causing the water to be fairly turbid. Our first real cold front finally came in earlier this week, and yesterday was the first day of fishable weather with bluebird skies but TONS of wind. Tonight will be a low of 35 so it might shut the bass down, or start a massive shad die-off allowing the bass to gorge themselves. we will see...

Caught my first bass on the spinnerbait today using a Lake Fork Live Magic Shad as a trailer: 2.31 lbs

Caught 5 additional bass on a worm, nothing worth mentioning.

so what did you decide to do. I'm interested to know whether or not you were cleaning deer or fish, hehe :)

Well..Matt and I decided to garage sale..didn't look that exciting to us..too windy to fish so we visited the Golden Corral for breakfast...and they had steak on the grill..
Our deer season for firearm starts Sat..then we will get serious. { -;
