Almost jerk bait season

I use them all year round as well, but to me the “model” jerk bait bite is cold, clear water. When the leaves start falling and the algae and moss start dying, and the super clear water starts happening, those bait fish stick tight to cover on the rivers. I would say 40-50 degree clearish water is ideal. 

65 degrees today on the river.   According to my meat thermometer😂

For lake bass- Lucky Craft Pointers and the old school spoonbill rogues.

River Smallies- 3-4" Floating Rapala. 

Big brown Trout- 5-6" floating Rapala

 

I've never been on a good Summer or Fall hard jerkbait bite on a lake.  For me it's all about dead or dying shad.    Some guys can pull it off though.

I fish the jap stuff mostly, and mostly discontinued colors other than Megabass. Might have to buy some new and send them to get painted at this point only 4-5 deep in my favorite colors with some baits. That won’t last another 30 years.
