Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | The pic that Big Perc has got me thinking.....instead of finding the new and different lure, what do all of you use in the fall that is the tried and true presentations?
For me:
-hopping/twitching a weighted sucker colored suick
-slow pull-pause-pull-pause of a medium bulldawg
-straight cranking a depthraider, maybe with a few twitches thrown in
-hard jerking/twitching a 10" jake
-slow tapping an hr, as in sllllllooooowwwwww
Nothing new, nothing different, but give me a secondary break, and I feel that ANY of the above presentations, under the right conditions will perform as well as any NEW presentations thought of lately.
Your thoughts? |

| Ripping big crankbaits is a fall thing for me, and so is working big gliders reallllly slow. tap-pause-tap-pause-tap-pause...
Dawgs all year for me.
And I'm right there with you on the sucker colored suick. I have a lot of confidence in that even though I have yet to catch even a single fish on a suick.
Slamr, your first 4 are dead on with mine, except I use the magnum bulldawgs. Scary. |

| Maybe it's my advanced age, but I like to take it easy in the fall.
Give me a good glider, and I'll be happy to throw it for as long as I can.
8"Shakers always are on a couple of rods. 8" Hugheys too.
This year it will definitely be a Perka. Much lighter than an 8" Shaker, and it takes less effort to work. A short downward snap, and then wait, Let it glide a couple of feet and then hover......repeatrepeatrepeatrepeat.
I used to think that I had to go deep for fall fish until I saw fish come straight up and eat gliders that were 2 feet below the surface in 25+ feet of water. But you know, if I was hungry I'd climb a 20 foot tree to get an apple.
Not to be a one-trick-pony, I'd also throw some deep running straight cranks and twitch them back to the boat after I got them down.
I would also throw some jigs. Especially if the fringe weeds, like the deep coontail, were still green.

| I love using a head over dying weed flats. Also using a fuzzy duzzit in deep holes in the late fall. Both presentations have put many fish in the boat for me. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I'm even more basic these days. My fall gliders of choice are the new Perka and a couple H2O models. Great versatility. Then there's a series of jigs I like, and my weighted Suick, and I'm good to go. Work them all way faster than most, but it works for me! |

| Gliders and twich baits are the ticket for me in the Fall
Then crank baits as the fish move out deeper
Never forget to check shallow with topwaters, bucktails or spinnerbaits
Sucker time  |

| I'm all about the bulldawgs in the fall, and although I don't like to twitch or jerk baits (too hard on the old shoulder), I do like to throw the baits that are weighted to shimmy. |
