Fall Bass Fishing After a Cold Front: 3 Finesse Baits That Still Get Bit

Cold front shutting down the bite? Here’s how to still catch fall bass from a kayak without forward-facing sonar.

What is going on guys, welcome to Reel and Roll, my name is Chase. Mid-October in Oklahoma, high of 62, overnight lows in the 40s and 30s, bluebird skies and high pressure after a cold front. Water temps are falling fast and the bite gets tough — so I’m downsizing and fishing isolated cover to still put bass in the kayak.

In this video I break down where fall bass go after a cold front and what to throw: how I use 2D and side imaging to find bluff walls, channel swings and baitfish, then downsize to drop shots, small Ned rigs, shaky heads, finesse worms and jigs. I cover my exact setup — 7-foot medium spinning rod with extra-fast tip and light fluorocarbon — plus kayak prep tips so your rods are rigged and ready when that window opens.

If you’re kayak bass fishing this fall in tough high-pressure conditions, this is the juice right here. Don’t forget to hit that like and subscribe button — let’s reel and roll.
