September brings big bass if you know where to look! We have 5 key baits we rely on to catch fish as the early Fall patterns begin. September is a transitional month full of changing conditions and shifting fish. Let us help you get ahead of the curve so you can keep catching fish throughout the month!
As night time temperatures cool bass begin making moves. The day time temperatures remain the same, leaving many anglers scratching their heads about why the fish are moving. In today’s video Matt explains how the fish are moving, where they’re headed, then covers 5 key baits that you can use to catch them. He covers how to use a jerkbait, a shallow crankbait, a topwater, an underspin, and a jig to meet every situation during this transitional time.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits Matt discussed in the video. He’s included the exact sizes, colors, and some of the gear he relies on as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

#September #Bassfishing #FallFishing
I do both in the fall. Might wait all year to hunt but I dont stop fishing in fact usually catch my biggest fish of the year in September and October. Thanks guys
I've been catching all my fish with a 3" senko donkey rig. I didn't try a underspin last time out but I will next time out
The super fluke is my go to all year round
You're a LEGEND and the best at thoroughly explaining applications along with equipment. I just started my channel @DBASSGODS …. Keep living the dream Matt, you're a wealth of knowledge and have done well adhering to your advice. Truly an inspiration! Oh yeah, I finally subscribed… To be fair I thought I already had….. Thanks for your time, dedication, and commitment to the growth of bass fishing and exploiting this new age tech. -Daniel Wallace
I appreciate the good information and thinking on that for a few hours trying to get it set up I've got five poles so I try to keep setup different Bates by the way I fish a lake that's about 60 Acres and the other one's a little over 80 I only seem to catch half a pound to a pound on bass they never seem to get much bigger any suggestions that might help with the bass fishing I fish boat to shore 30 to 50 ft I used 7.5-in black with chartreuse tail use a jig a little bit topwater spook Jr well maybe you can help me out I'd appreciate it and very much enjoyed your video
Thanks. This month I've noticed the stripes in the river chasing the freshly spawned shad. I've been throwing a cotton cordell silver spoon and fishing it fast in an up and down motion. They've been smoking them
Got a skunk beater on the jackhammer yesterday keep up the good work just watched the last episode helped out alot
Dude!! You always have the best vids!
6:59
Thanks
"Hey, guys…." Female fishers watch this channel too.
Matt,, don't let this make your head any bigger brother but you're the absolute best teacher on the internet when it comes to talking about fishing…
Matt we're going to need more videos of your net operator fishing,, we've saw her slay the Smallies so don't be holding her back lol
You are the absolute best! I have always loved fishing but I was taught using live bait. This past June I transitioned and started bass fishing. I have learned so much from your videos that I have gained the confidence to be able to consistently hook some slabs . Thank you and please keep them coming.
Man yall gotta hit ky lake the toughest lake no grass can't find patterns just junk fish and hope to get lucky depending on the feature at the time
What will work in October?
October here in La.
Matt! I love that u guys moved because u mastered the California lakes and u guys branched out. We have so much love for u guys east of the Mississippi and hearing your tips is great

Thanks for all the pro tips Matt! I always have trouble throwing a weightless soft fluke on a casting set up, do you have any pointers for getting the best distance out of that style bait without destroying the spool and line? Thanks!
Something I like in real shallow water is a Mann's Baby 1-minus in ghost white, fished like a crankbait. It runs super shallow, it will get hung up easier than a square bill but you can keep it just barely below the surface better than just about any crankbait.
Can't tell you how much we appreciate your education. I am new to bass fishing. This is truly an art.
( Horsing a fish in years ago was a cardinal SIN ) just sayin… good video.
I love you.
If my lake has a lot of wood, during September will they go to the shallow wood or deep wood?
Whoever gave this video a thumbs downโฆ โYa moms hoeeee..โ ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ Best fishing tips and content on YouTube! ๐ฏ๐
do you have suggestions for lures in pressured ponds because I get 1-2 fish in 4 hours but it can get better
Iโm up in mass and the spinner bait slays up here in fall/winter
Wow!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I really feel like I have a game plan the next time Iโm out
Excellent instruction, as always. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips. I live in San Antonio Texas and i am new to Bass fishing. Its frustrating, hot, and algae everywhere and overwhelming at times. But i refuse to give up. Gonna keep trying!
we were just talking transition last weekend. I should have watched this first lol.
September is the best month, 3 of my pb's have been caught in September
Any advise on late summer/September fishing in ponds? Your help would be greatly appreciated
Do you have any experience with Spiralite Rods? I wanted to see if you like the sensitivity and weight of the rods?
This guy has forgot more about fishing than Iโll ever know!๐
Why is this 18 minutes long, come on
Thanks for including michigan stuff, its a lot different up here
I love you guys are being specific of differences between north and southern locations; it's very helpful. I live in Quebec near Ontario, northern NY and Vermont; much differnent than south, west, and mid. We're all a little different but all lovn' our bass.
