I've been throwing buzzbaits and poppers. I've really pretty much only fished topwater. The walking bait/spook bite was on for a while but for me buzzbaits and poppers have been killing it. I've been doing a lot of fly fishing too, mainly poppers, I had to make 6 or 7 more poppers the other day.
Ive been fishing the mouths of feeder creeks fan casting a trap for schooling fish and Throwing a chatterbait in willow weeds. Bigger bites coming on a football jig on a channel swing flat.
I’ve been burning the banks with buzz bait and chatter bait with the occasional flip with a Texas rig. Most of my fish have been caught within 1 to 1-1/2 feet from the bank in less than 2 feet of water. Caught a few in some lay downs out away from the bank but still close to the surface of the water.
I normally fish pretty much the same repertoire. Buzzbait, man's one-, double Willow spinnerbait and some sort of jig. I have not been able to get out fishing for about 3 months. Hopefully soon. I noticed the HydroWave on your trolling motor. Would you consider doing a video on the use of a HydroWave when, what type of water, what times of year, for what type of fish, and which Sonic patterns to use when?
Once again thank you for sharing your tips with us for the late summer fall fishing. I am still living through your videos until I am able to get back on the water and in my boat down here in Land O Lakes Florida because of back surgeries but it’s killing me not to get out there and try all the stuff because I know it’ll work just from past experiences, but I am living through your videos and I really really appreciate you and your techniques and just the way you have so much fun doing what you do that’s what’s the most awesome thing about watching your shows. Thank you your friend Joe Mallozzi
Yes sir I agree with that pattern for sure. Fishing has changed here in Texas and they have moved way up shallow. I been catching them on white choppo. Thanks for video and good luck up north.
Thanks Edwin for sharing your love & knowledge of fishing, I'm not able to fish due to injuries but right now I'd wake a spinnerbait shallow, throw a swim bait for medium depths, lastly, a rattling lipless bait a bit deeper, it's all about tuning into active feeding bass
Fished Waconda Lake yesterday used a bussbait ,spinnerbaits and a square bail. Gaughan the fish on everything except the square bill. 18" black bass and two 17" browns plus several smaller one.
I'm in Ontario, I've been using almost exactly what you're throwing the past week or two - When the water is glass I use a toad rather than a full buzzbait - I'll trade the crank bait for a swim jig. Otherwise, wind is up a bit and I'm throwing exactly what youve suggested. It's the triple threat.
Thanks E. The oxygen explanation was very helpful. I am usually fishing a little deeper here in the Midwest but I'm definitely going shallow more now. Thanks for another great video. I never miss them!
On lake Wedowee Alabama the deeper water shad hasn’t went into the fall pattern yet but the bass are seaming to hold to structure better it seams like this time of the year. When I scan a structure with my active target I am seeing tons of bass holding to the structure and the shad are also holding to it also
I agree EE on this time of year fishing up in the water column. I have been hard headed in the past and always wormed around the docks here on Norman. I decided to finally follow one of your tips about jerk bait fishing around floating docks, and wow was I pleasantly surprised. Between the early bite on shallow points with walking bait and popper, then switching to the jerk bait as the sun got up; I had caught 10 bass in about 1 1/2 hours with 4 being good keepers. I cannot remember the last time I had a day like that. Thanks!
Love the information you give. The best oxygen is shallow this time of the year explains my home lake. Surface temps in upper 90’s and fish in a foot of water.
you make reference to lakes turning over photosynthesis is the term our fish biologist uses in the fall or late summer the water temperature drops algae and plankton in the upper water column dies an sinks to the bottom thats the cause for the change in water quality
I think people think all the bass go into creeks in the fall and thats just not true. Bass on the lower end of the lake dont even know those creeks on the upper end even exist. Find the bait in the area you want to fish and fish your strengths. Always informative sir,thanks for the channel.
Went out sat to my local resavoir water was 70. Used all my normal patterns with no bites at all. Decided to try deep and sure enough they were stacked in 35 to 45 ft. Got em drop shotting I’ve never fished in more than 20 ft of water ever. So needless to say I was so stoked to catch em deep. All spotted bass.
Thanks Edwin! As always great tips. I've bn using Ned rig up here in Northern Indiana and has bn producing. I always like throwing a buzz bait to cover water and the top water blow ups.
Been covering that same piece of water. Working a creature bait. Has been great here of late. Thanks for the tips ill be trying the buzz bait out there now for sure!
Thanks for the video once agai. I throw a zoom ol monster worm, crank bait and some sort of topwater thanks for the info today and in past videos telling us that fish are high in the water column that is going to help me when choosing what stile of crank bait to use thanks so much keep it up
I have 87 degree water also, wind about 2 mph. Tried my Buzzbait and a few others, but as soon as I tied on that Megabass 110+1, BAM! I caught a 5 pounder and 3 more and lost 5 others. Maybe need to change my hooks. It was a good morning.
Edwin, watching your video a little late because I have been watching the MLF tour on live stream from beginning to end. I don't believe I have missed a project e video and look forward to see what I can learn from you. Because my boat is still not going I believe I can use this information and fish from shore. Should do good since the bass are up shallower as you have mentioned. 🎣🐟
Killing them on whopper ploppers and walking baits like the spook or sammy here in N.E. Indiana....just got back from a 4 day trip to St. Clair and we caught alot of smallies....best of luck to you Edwin.
Great video. I really enjoyed it. Do you ever fish with the Johnson gold spoon with a trailer on it. I have caught tons of quality fish on it until I got sick and could not fish for five years. Just now getting back to being able to fish again. I like to take a white twin tail grub, pinch off almost all the body, leaving just enough to get the hook on the spoon into. It gives that spoon beautiful action. I through it deep into the grass or lily pads and slowly pull it out on the top of the water. I catch fish on it when I can not get them to hit anything else. Been using them for over 60 years now. My friend now uses them. It is great for pulling over any structure.
I love how you teach all of us these great techniques. I'm always trying to figure out how to apply up north in Michigan while chasing both largemouth and smallmouth on inland lakes. Water temps will be in the 60's next week, will these techniques apply well in these water temps?
Stupid question, but Can you elaborate more on what you mean about fishing flats and in the backs of pockets? Are you talking about flats and pockets in the back of creeks? Or could they be on the main lake also?
Awesome video Edwin! Personally I can’t get my buzz bait to run upright, it’s always leaning on its side on the retrieve. Any ideas on fixing this or is it fine to still fish it like this ?
Here in Idaho we got temps in the mid 60's and there's almost 0 surface activity of anykind, natural grass lake...2ft of visibilty... lots of suspended perch/crappie at 9 ft....Bites been tough....shallows seem totally barren of any life?? Any idea's? Thanks from central Idaho..
Try it all day, but it is obviously better early and late but can work all day. The crankbait would be a great second choice if the buzzbait bite stops working.
Quick question. I'm in the Tampa Bay region. Is it fall for me? I mean it's still high 80s and rains every evening. I'm from PA so it not fall as far as I'm concerned. Lol any help would be great Thanks!!
Thanks for watching everyone! What patterns are you running this time of year? Let me know below! 👇

Been having luck with top water poppers, choppo’s, and the trusty ol’ trick worms.

Always a pleasure listening to your power stop
Buzzing and cranking
Thanks for the advice, will be putting it to work all day tomorrow.
Fished Waconda Lake yesterday used a bussbait ,spinnerbaits and a square bail. Gaughan the fish on everything except the square bill. 18" black bass and two 17" browns plus several smaller one.

Hey Edwin I’m using a frog in grass and a square bill and bladed jig on the out side edges here in East Tennessee 🙏
Fantastic video great information thank you.
Running wake baits on the flats never the edges of creeks and drop-off points
Really liked this video. Being in Oklahoma as well, its nice to have a pro share tips for the same conditions and water I fish every week.
It's all about flats right now where I'm at. Cranking shallowish grass and brush on deeper flats is what I'm running.
Good video. Thanks for explaining how your using the baits.
Awesome information. Non stop great info from beginning to end. Thanks!
Love the information you give. The best oxygen is shallow this time of the year explains my home lake. Surface temps in upper 90’s and fish in a foot of water.
Nice, glad it helps you!!
Thank you for the little boost in confidence that will help me keep my head down and fish..!! Love your videos..!! They are my favorite..!!
Awesome video! This is the pattern that we're in up here in Minnesota already. Earlier than normal. U make it easier to become a good angler.
Good video, Thanks
love your videos, keep up the good work!👏👏
Thank you, will do!!
you make reference to lakes turning over photosynthesis is the term our fish biologist uses in the fall or late summer the water temperature drops algae and plankton in the upper water column dies an sinks to the bottom thats the cause for the change in water quality
Thanks for the great tips Edwin. Your right about the oxygen level, more on top this time of year.
thanks for the advise! Good luck with the event!
Great info. Thanks
I woke up this this video... Do you know how happy I am? Love your videos and what you do Edwin, Keep up the great work
The Top of the mountain intro never gets old.
Love trying new things you advise here on norris lake in tn thanks again
I agree, the days have gotten considerably shorter. There were a bunch of fish caught this past weekend in the tournament at a local lake.
Btw... couldn't get anything going on the buzzbait but the jig was putting in work...it was incredibly windy on Saturday at Skiatook
Best thing on RUclips
I think people think all the bass go into creeks in the fall and thats just not true. Bass on the lower end of the lake dont even know those creeks on the upper end even exist. Find the bait in the area you want to fish and fish your strengths. Always informative sir,thanks for the channel.
I will definitely try that Edwin thank you
Love the show from the intro to the final comment. Put some early fall advice to the test yesterday and crushed them on top and in the shallows.
David, Thank you for the kind comments and that’s exciting!
Buzzbait is my number one bait had a great day today on the water
Went out sat to my local resavoir water was 70. Used all my normal patterns with no bites at all. Decided to try deep and sure enough they were stacked in 35 to 45 ft. Got em drop shotting I’ve never fished in more than 20 ft of water ever. So needless to say I was so stoked to catch em deep. All spotted bass.

Thanks for the info buzzbait one of my favorites.
Always spot on info. Thank you Sir!
Great video good tips
Love your video's and learn so much watching. Can you PLEASE do a video on fishing Lake Seminole?
Thanks for the video once agai. I throw a zoom ol monster worm, crank bait and some sort of topwater thanks for the info today and in past videos telling us that fish are high in the water column that is going to help me when choosing what stile of crank bait to use thanks so much keep it up
Great info! Keep these great videos coming Edwin ! Much respect for you bro!👍
Good lessons Edwin . Good advice

Nice!! Hope you have more good days like that this fall
Great stuff. Look forward to these “month of the year” tutorials. 👍

Goin to try that this weekend
Great video give me some pointer for Keysone lake this weekend LOL
I’m ready to let the crank baits fly!
Awesome stuff 🤙🏽
Good luck man!

Thanks for all the knowledge you share with us. I would like to see you break down DeGray Lake Arkansas
Thanks for another great informative video.
Absolutely Mark, thanks for watching!
Greatness as always Double E !!
Thank you Chris!
Great stuff!!
thanks, good info

Yes they will on those inland lakes.
Stupid question, but Can you elaborate more on what you mean about fishing flats and in the backs of pockets? Are you talking about flats and pockets in the back of creeks? Or could they be on the main lake also?
I’m fishing 70 degree water already in KY
Would you ever follow up on a piece of structure with a jig?
Love your videos! Have you ever fished anywhere in western Oklahoma? I bank fish so right now my pattern is anywhere I can get to!!!
Awesome video Edwin! Personally I can’t get my buzz bait to run upright, it’s always leaning on its side on the retrieve. Any ideas on fixing this or is it fine to still fish it like this ?
hey Edwin, why the gold blade with the white shad type presentation and not silver?
Great tips..
Crock o gator buzz?
Does it matter on your buzz baits, the color of blades or do dark for clear water & bright for dirty water?
Here in Idaho we got temps in the mid 60's and there's almost 0 surface activity of anykind, natural grass lake...2ft of visibilty... lots of suspended perch/crappie at 9 ft....Bites been tough....shallows seem totally barren of any life?? Any idea's? Thanks from central Idaho..
“Oxygen!”
✨✝️😇✝️✨
Do you ever prefer a choppo type bait over buzz bait and why or why not? Thanks love the no nonsense info.
Yes the choppo is great. I usually lean towards it in clearer water and more open water. The buzzbait I like for dirty water and around grass
Hey Mr.Evers, why the gold blade over another??
That’s me and my dads spot I caught a 6 pounder out of there
And you forgot the one of the most important baits this time of the year a "walking "bait number1 bait i think in the fall
My bass have been tight to the shore or tight to stumps or down trees.
Is the buzz bait typically good all day or just mainly mornings and afternoons? You rely on the crank bait more during daylight hours?
Try it all day, but it is obviously better early and late but can work all day. The crankbait would be a great second choice if the buzzbait bite stops working.
Quick question. I'm in the Tampa Bay region. Is it fall for me? I mean it's still high 80s and rains every evening. I'm from PA so it not fall as far as I'm concerned. Lol any help would be great Thanks!!
Edwin, who sings that intro song "On top of the Mountain"? Tks in advance.
i like buzzbaiting and flipping bait
every dock on norman
Another way to spell Buzz bait in Fall is F-U-N
I like it!
Run that same pattern all over this time of year.
Sorry Stratification
vay.fyi

Great video. Thanks for the info.
