Fall bass fishing on South Holston Lake in East Tennessee! 🎣

In today’s video, we’re hitting South Holston Lake in search of fall bass using two of my favorite techniques: crankbait fishing and topwater fishing!

The crankbait bite was producing numbers, while the topwater Spook helped put some better-quality bass in the boat.

One of the highlights of this trip was catching fish on a custom-painted Tennessee Shad crankbait that I painted myself. It’s always rewarding to catch bass on a bait you’ve personally worked on!

Throughout the trip, we’ll break down our approach, the techniques that produced bites, and how we targeted bass during the fall transition on South Holston Lake.

Whether you’re fishing South Holston, Cherokee, Douglas, Boone, or another East Tennessee reservoir, I hope this video gives you some ideas for putting more bass in the boat this fall!
