Now that fall is finally upon us the days get shorter, the nights get cooler, and the bass fishing just gets better. This is the perfect time to grab a couple of rods and tie up a few crankbaits. As this transition period from summer into fall takes place over the next few weeks, bass will move around quite a bit and most likely close to any school of baitfish. Tying up a deep, medium, and shallow crankbait will give you the versatility to cover different depths when looking for bass. Cover water and turn that fishing reel is the...

We all know that fishing topwater lures in the summer can be fun. Who doesn’t love watching bass explode on the surface crushing your lure?

Although there are many lures or techniques that will catch fish, I try to cover water looking for the most aggressive bass using reaction lures. Most of our Arizona lakes have Threadfin or Gizzard Shad in them which bass love, so locating bait is the big key. You find the bait; you find the fish. It is...
