Right now between Halloween jack-o-lanterns and pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, when many anglers have shelved fishing rods to pursue rut-crazed whitetails, it’s an awesome time to tie on a buzzbait, popper or Sexy Dawg because bass are eating shad and skipjack extremely shallow near the surface.
When the water surface temp is 55 degrees – all the way down to about 49 degrees – that’s one of the very best times to catch big bass real shallow with one of these surface lures. In fact, most all of the biggest bass I catch at this time of year are super shallow in about 1 foot of water.
Ideally, shallow secondary points along the main river channel of your favorite reservoir, the shallow tips of an island, or a shallow gravel bar that runs parallel to the shoreline, are the perfect places to look for these mega-shallow late autumn surface bites.
