Fall Bass Fishing with a Texas Rig Keitech Swimbait & Do Artificial Lures Work Better than Live Bait? Sometimes they do!

Fall Bass Fishing with a Texas Rig Keitech Swimbait at Skeletor Park

Fall Bass Fishing with a Texas Rig Keitech Swimbait Skeletor Park - Realistic Fishing

In this week’s first episode I’m at Skeletor Park doing some fall bass fishing with a Texas rig Keitech Swimbait. Finally, the weather is starting to cool off and the shad are now migrating towards the creeks. Looks like now is a good time to try out a swimbait. I often prefer to use a Texas Rig for my swimbaits so I can work the bottom, slow roll them and even pull them through the weeds. The additional weight also tends to help with casting when distance is an issue. Once I finally catch a bass on the Keitech, I change up my lure to a Gulp Minnow to try to get another fish before I leave. I end up catching a bluegill which is enough for me.

Do Artificial Lures Work Better Than Live Bait? Yes Sometimes They Do

Do Artificial Lures Work Better Than Live Bait Yes Sometimes They Do - Realistic Fishing

In the last episode this week we ask: Do artificial lures work better than live bait? Well that’s a resounding YES – Sometimes they do! In this episode I’m doing some fishing near schools of baitfish and am looking for bass or any other fish that might be around at the time. I start out the fishing trip with a live shad, but I don’t get a single bite. After awhile I decided to switch things up to an artificial lure so I tied on the Salmo S and began fishing. After just a few casts I caught my first fish, a nice largemouth bass. I go on to catch a second fish which was a yellow bass. To finish things off I ended up  hooking another largemouth bass. None of the fish this day were very big, and that could be why the artificial lure worked so much better.
