The bass are in their fall transition big time! The ice jig bite will be heating up anytime. I caught one on the ice jig last weekend. The bait fish are tiny right now, and matching the hatch is really tough. Baits like the Ice Jig and an underspin like the 6th Sense Divine Underspin are key baits for this time of year, and into the winter months. Pair that underspin with a small swimbait. The underspin is going to need some light line like FC Sniper in 6 or 8lb test.

Points
The Fall feed is going on in a big way. The fish were busting on shad really well in the morning. The hard baits did not get bit. I used the Strike King KVD Dream Shot and caught a bunch of fish in a very short period of time. I had it rigged on an Owner Cover Shot Hook. I was using a spinning rod a Shimano NASCI Reel. I had a braid to fluorocarbon set up as well. Thread the bait onto to the shank of the hook with the hook exposed and fish it like a soft plastic jerk bait and hold on.
