Fall Means Buzz Bait Fishing
Author: Captain Mike | Filed under: Fishing Articles, Fishing Tackle, Fishing Weather, Secret Weapon Lures, Tips and Tactics
When I head to the lake this time of year, the first thing that enters my mind: it’s time for the buzz bait bite to really turn on.
The grass is dying back. It has holes all around and through the thick stuff. In most cases the water is just over the top of the milfoil and hydrilla. Baitfish are everywhere, and the schooling fish and bait activity is strong. So folks, it’s time to pull a Secret Weapon Buzzrbait™ over the top and hang on.
The best news is, in most cases the buzz bait bite can be all day long, and the sunniest days are generally the best.
A key to catching them for me is, first, having the right bait. The Secret Weapon Buzzrbait™ is the best there is. It has sharp hooks, the bait runs true to the angle in which you are pulling it and the trailer willow leaf blade that is unique to SWL makes a little different sound and trail than any other bait on the market.
Another key is finding the correct areas of the lake to use your SWL buzz baits. This time of year it’s pretty simple; look for scattered grass with holes and dying edges. Look for bait activity. Lastly, look for points, or edges or U-shaped indentions off the channel or around islands. Find all three and you have the ideal fishing spot.
One of the greatest things about buzz bait fishing in the fall is you can generally bring inexperienced fisherman to the lake and get them hooked up with a fun bite fairly easily. It’s also a time of year that the weather in most cases is comfortable. A light jacket in the morning, a snack or two, and you’re set to fish all day long.
