He walks through his Sam Rayburn event where gizzard shad pushed giants onto a shallow flat, why a glide bait got the bites, and the rod and hook changes that fixed his landing ratio.

Send us Fan MailFall bass fishing is here, and on this episode of the Serious Angler Bass Fishing Podcast, Bailey Eigbrett and Adam Deakin break down exactly how to catch bass in the fall. We cover the fall transition and the "reverse spawn," when bass move from summer offshore spots back toward shallow banks once water temps hit about 60 to 62 degrees. You'll learn where to find fall bass on main lake points, secondary points, channel swings, sharp contours and the backs of pockets.We share two fall game plans. For windy, overcast days we throw A-rigs, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, underspins, big swimbaits, glide baits and topwater. For bluebird days we work standing grass, big jigs around docks and wood, jerkbaits and jigging spoons. We also cover when to downsize for threadfin shad on TVA lakes like Chickamauga, how cold fronts and moon windows affect the bite, and why you should graph grass before you fish it.New Minn Kota: https://minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com/us📌 Check out Serious Angler Network lifestyle and podcast apparel here: https://seriousanglernetwork.com/📌 Click here to start your FREE trial of Omnia Fishing Premium PRO: https://omnia.direct/SAPremiumPRO📌 This episode is brought to you by our amazing partners:• If you're a fishing guide, check out the Bloodknot App here: https://www.bloodknotapp.com/• Amped Outdoors Lithium Batteries (https://ampedoutdoors.com/)• RecLending (https://www.reclending.com/): Looking to buy a boat or RV?
