Based my fishing on these kind of videos thanks guys I live in northwest Indiana ... talk about over fished areas ! I canoe fish to try and get an advantage . Dread using crank baits but I went out and bought some strike King 6 xdpro 19 feet diver and BOOM . Went out after a storm caught the biggest bass I ever seen lost it . Wasn't hooked great and wasn't prepared no net ... Went back 3 days later and caught the same bass on the same crank 5.14lbs 20 inches crushed my previous record of 2.93lbs!
Hey guys great stuff! My question is can you find the time to do a video or two about Lakes they don’t have grass. Where I live I have a few that the majority of the cover is rock and timbre of some kind? I know you guys are busy I’ve asked this question a few times over the last two years and still haven’t seen a response. You guys are the best
heyy man so i have bass tournemnt in september and we are fishing black bayou and we havn't fished there and your saying i need to deep dive crack bait and i have tournemts all three months and i need to learn a little bit more about fall bass fishing
Sure, but we used to do it from shore, then from a floating log, then float tubes, then tiny aluminum boats with oars, then tiny aluminum boats with trolling motors, then outboards, then small bass boats, all before we arrived here. You can choose to gain from all the experience or you can just assume you can't gain anything from the guy with the nice boat.
We are going through a semi drought in Georgia and my home lake ( very Large pond ) is down about one and half feet. I’ve learned 90% of my fishing knowledge from your videos and blogs. And yesterday I finally stuck my first big large mouth. I’ve caught tons of high 3’s but yesterday I caught a high 5 on the googan explode toad. Thank you guys for everything y’all do.
We're an outlier for a lot of the "seasonal" content, but I think many of the principles still apply when the season finally does change..well, kind of change. Good luck out there!
Great content again Tim just got a new cranking rod one of the ones that y'all recommended on your $200 budget video cant wait to try some those crankbaits on it. On a side note I would like to see y'all cross the state line into N.C. and fish some our Mnt lakes our state record striper and smallmouth aren't but a couple of hours ride from chik. keep the info coming thanks!
What do you do with a fishing partner that is so dumb when he sees a bait ball he puts it in gear and says we gotta get out of here, nothing to see here but little ones?
Our temperature here in New Brunswick Canada been getting down to 13 degrees at nighttime. Daytime temperature 25 to 30 degrees. I am a bank fisherman here in Fredericton New Brunswick. I fish river current here. I used square bill without any luck using them
One of my lakes has no shad type bait, just bluegill trout and goby’s. Will they focus in on those fish or will the revolve more toward craws than anything else?
I always pick up something new along the way. different hooks depending on how the bass are striking and using a a larger/louder bait to find fish and then sharpening your pencil to locate the bigger one. However my secret sauce is that I throw the lipless crank all summer long.. its a fish. catching machine.
Assume no electronics, how long do you throw a depth and/or color before changing to something different? West TN has been either really good or really bad. Nothing in between.
Its crazy how that happens. Ill usually stick with my first choice until either Ive ran a few good spots and had zero bites, or Ive had a few bites but they aren't eating the bait well. Maybe just slapping at it
@@tacticalbassin thank you. Also, I'm pounding the bank so that's another obstacle. I really appreciate you guys enormous amount and range of content (my wallet and wide don't 🤣). Got my first 11' aluminum boat a few weeks ago and trying to get it ready for skinny water, no motor (trolling or outboard) yet. College tuitions first then toys, lol.
Thanks, Tim! I'll remember to re-watch this when late summer arrives here in Florida. Probably sometime close to Halloween. 🙂. Maybe in a future video, you could share some thoughts about how the seasonal changes are different now than when you were in California, and how you've adapted. Thanks again and have a great weekend!
@@tacticalbassin Ha! You guys do a great job of speaking to a wide variety of anglers all over the country. That's not an easy thing to pull off. Florida's an outlier in a lot of instances; I still enjoy watching the tips that don't necessarily apply to me.
@@dropzBiG Depending on where you live in Florida, the air / water temperature changes Tim talks about in this video can be weeks or months behind the rest of the country. Halloween is an exaggeration, but not a completely ridiculous one. Sometimes I think our seasons here consist of "summer", "almost summer" and "cold front" . Good luck out there!
That’s crazy. I just tied a red chatter bait on this morning bc I was thinking it looked different from everything they been seeing last few months. No bites but only 20 minutes downtown Knoxville,Tn mouth of First Creek feeding the Tn River. Just a few cast to satisfy the itch before getting to work. Thnx for the video my You Tube pals.
This is awesome, but as a newer crankbait user this overwhelms me. I've picked up a few 3-5 depth and 8-10 but just going to keep grinding. Only having three poles hard to swap out so much.
Good thing i just bought a new reel for my cbr and a bunch of cranks [prepping for fall] Slx dc 151 G loomis e6x cbr 7' med/mod fast Seaguar tatsu 12lb
Mann’s baby minus 1 works well in that 1 foot range. Also I was throwing buzz bait last week and getting nothing, partner was throwing 1.5 square bill and whooping me bad until I switched
You guys should just say what it is, crankbait Baits for sale that I would recommend. I'm not trying to sound like I'm hating cuz I'm not, but you guys rarely give any details on strategies and or presentation unless it's just the simple/obvious way everybody else is already doing it.
Really innaccurate and unfair assessment of this channel. Try watching a few more vids, maybe search for specific techniques and you’ll get what you’re looking for. Burn burn pause is just one example. Others I’ve learned: how to stick frogs and boost my hookup ratio; how to retrieve an S-Waiver; how to stroke a jig; how to make a fluke ride on top versus riding deeper; how to retrieve a drop-shot rig; how to find bass in hot weather; I could go on and on and on. And oh by the way my top 3 bass, all over 5 lbs, were caught in the last 2 years based on techniques I learned here, after spending years just throwing Senkos and Worms.
Got to be honest man, I have watched heavily this summer. Sometimes, I don't know which of your pieces of advice to follow. You said that you wouldn't throw a crankbait in the shallows anymore. You said you would throw a chatter bait every time in the shallows instead of a shallow crankbait.
When the grass get too thick to crank throw the chatterbait. It can be fished or ripped through the grass. I don't throw a squarebill "Through" the grass but over the top of it if possible. Hope this clarifies it for you.
@@tacticalbassin That gives it clarity. I was completely under the impression that you just advised against it when fishing shallows. Thanks for the assist 👍
Tim great information thank you for sharing 👍

DT-14 or the Norman DD-14 ( no longer made ) killer on suspended fish out Deep as well. Rob
I've heard black and red crankbaits work good at night for small mouth in Alabama
I can't wait to get down there. Mid Sept vacation. Thx for the video.
👏👏👏 absolutely awesome Tim ❤️🤙
They really seem to want the crankbait right now on my lake so this is perfect!
Tic tic rip! Love me some squares just caught fish not easy but a must learn. NJ not many fish so something most don't fish!
Would this apply to Wisconsin first week of October? I'm an Indiana guy so fresh natural lakes like Geneva are way outta my expertise.
İt is very hard to get a good casting distance w C/baits. Donu have suggestions for this problem?
Use a moderate action cranbait casting rod. 12 lb test line is ideal. Keep your lure weight and line matched up to your rod specs.
Turn down your magnetic brake, loosen up your drag a touch, just keep that thumb ready to stop the spool
You guys have an opinion on the daiwa zillion sv tw?
heyy man so i have bass tournemnt in september and we are fishing black bayou and we havn't fished there and your saying i need to deep dive crack bait and i have tournemts all three months and i need to learn a little bit more about fall bass fishing
Of course, an $80,000 boat with $20,000 worth of fish finding electronics helps too.

Smashed the like !
I don’t know who invented the crankbait but man how genius I love them.
Air and water temps in central Florida will remain constant (high) through the end of September at a minimum.
We're an outlier for a lot of the "seasonal" content, but I think many of the principles still apply when the season finally does change..well, kind of change. Good luck out there!
@@oldeschoolbob1022 Absolutely. I should have qualified my response. This video is perfect for October here.
Square bill crankbaits are my favorite search bait for shore fishing. It’s all about mixing up the retrieve and bouncing off of cover.
They work great for that!
@@tacticalbassin have you guys ever thought of fishing Bull shoals lake and Norfolk lake (twin lakes) in Arkansas
Would low stretch 12 pound mono work for shallow water cranking
Silent KVD squarebill has been killing it for me, more than all rattle lures combined.
I can always expect a new video from tacticalbassin no matter what time of the day! Thank you for you content
Best fishin channel out there!
Thank you Ian!
ARK squarebills, great lures and great hooks stock.
Great content again Tim just got a new cranking rod one of the ones that y'all recommended on your $200 budget video cant wait to try some those crankbaits on it.

Tons of fresh content recently. Thanks Matt and Tim!
Love love the videos
Any tips for in the SE WI area? Most of our local lakes are packed full of weeds all the way to the surface.
Texas rigged Fluke style bait, Frog, floating worm, weightless speed vibe worm.
Topwater has been terrible this year for me but this custom catch5 wakebait I got has been on fire!
I'm still trying to purchase CB's from the Spring..
You can run that jabber Jaw really shallow by bending the metal bill down towards the hooks.
You guys should work with a clothing company and come out with a “Burn Burn Burn Pause” shirt with a DD minnow Tactical crank on it.
@TacticalBassin So do you guys use 7'4"MHM rod for deep cranks?? I'm new to deep cranks.
So in other words if it’s all about the bait fish than if you don’t have a boat your screwed unless the bait happen to be within 20ft of the bank?
What do you do with a fishing partner that is so dumb when he sees a bait ball he puts it in gear and says we gotta get out of here, nothing to see here but little ones?
Do flukes come into play?
I was wondering if it’s a good baitfish presentation.
Thank you.
YES! They work really well

Hey Tim,
On your silent square bills, do you like to use hand tied braided split rings to quiet down your baits?
Up here in michigan, all of a sudden I've been hammering them on the tiny 6th sense crush mini 25md in the Spanish bone. It's a super fun bite too.

Just got a deep crank by 13 fish and been loving it. When do you use topwater? I thought fall was the time

Its based on lunar schedule. Fall is still fall in arizona and california

I would love to see some underwater footage of bass taking the LV500 and TN70
What about the Hybrid Hunter?
What about an A rig this time of year?

Is a crankbait and jerkbait the same?
What if you don't have any grass at all .
This is awesome, but as a newer crankbait user this overwhelms me. I've picked up a few 3-5 depth and 8-10 but just going to keep grinding. Only having three poles hard to swap out so much.

Sometimes they just wont eat on top. Funny how that works.

Tennessee. Lake Chickamauga.

3:43 am school in 5 hours
OUCH! Hang in there
Hey first
After the burn burn burn, how long do you usually pause?
Just a split second then continue your retrieve
