Fall Lures
#1
Berkley PowerBait Chigger Craw
Color: Watermelon Red · Size: 2.75 inch
Cast tight to dock pilings and undercuts; work slowly along the dock edge with short hops and pauses, letting the craw settle naturally into shadowed pockets where bass tuck during clear-water evenings.
Clear water + dock structure demands a natural, subtle presentation; falling pressure triggers aggressive feeding, but the bright sun and clear conditions push bass into shade—crawfish are dock-staple forage, and the Texas rig allows precise placement in tight cover.
#2
Strike King KVD 1.5 Square Bill
Color: Sexy Shad · Size: 1.5
Cast parallel to dock structure and retrieve with a steady, moderate pace; allow the crankbait to deflect off pilings and dock supports, triggering reaction strikes from bass holding in the shade.
Falling barometric pressure + evening bite + 8 mph wind creates aggressive feeding window; square-bill crankbaits excel at deflecting off wood and triggering reaction strikes, and the shallow-running profile keeps the bait in the productive dock-shadow zone.
#3
Rapala Skitter Pop
Color: Perch · Size: 7
Cast near dock edges and work with sharp, deliberate pops followed by brief pauses; focus on the transition zone between open water and dock shadow as light fades, triggering explosive topwater strikes.
Evening bite + falling pressure + waxing crescent moon + clear water create prime topwater conditions; bass move shallow to feed as light drops, and a popper's commotion and silhouette trigger aggressive strikes in the low-light window.
