Fall bass fishing is here, and on this episode of the Serious Angler Bass Fishing Podcast, Bailey Eigbrett and Adam Deakin break down exactly how to catch bass in the fall. We cover the fall transition and the "reverse spawn," when bass move from summer offshore spots back toward shallow banks once water temps hit about 60 to 62 degrees. You'll learn where to find fall bass on main lake points, secondary points, channel swings, sharp contours and the backs of pockets.

We share two fall game plans. For windy, overcast days we throw A-rigs, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, underspins, big swimbaits, glide baits and topwater. For bluebird days we work standing grass, big jigs around docks and wood, jerkbaits and jigging spoons. We also cover when to downsize for threadfin shad on TVA lakes like Chickamauga, how cold fronts and moon windows affect the bite, and why you should graph grass before you fish it.

Most anglers idle right over the most consistent big-bass spots on the lake without ever knowing they're there. Full-time fishing guide Caleb Bell breaks down how to find springs — groundwater seeps that hold stable 55-65° water and giant bass year-round — and why they're the key to surviving the toughest transition of the year.

In this episode, Caleb covers:
- How to spot a spring using old Corps of Engineers maps and satellite imagery
- What a spring actually looks like on your graph (the "crater" and vegetation donut)
- Why springs hold giant stripers and largemouth all summer and winter
- How the summer-to-fall transition really works (and why rushing it costs you fish)
- Community holes, schooling fish, and why numbers matter more than big-bite grinding right now
- Steep banks vs flats and where to focus if you're fishing from shore
- His 6-bait arsenal for this transition: glidebait, Koiki, jig, buzzbait, fluke (with his skipping technique), blade baits, and mini A-rigs
- The biggest mistake anglers make this time of year — and how to reframe a slow day into a scouting win
