Fall Largemouth Bass Essentials from Fish Monkey

As the weather cools and leaves begin to turn, fall signals a seasonal shift not just in nature, but in the behavior of one of America’s favorite game fish: the largemouth bass. For anglers, this transitional time offers incredible opportunities — if you know how to adapt your tactics and gear.


Fall Bass Behavior: Always on the Move
During fall, largemouth bass are constantly chasing forage to bulk up before winter. They’ll move between shallow and deep water — sometimes multiple times a day — and can be found suspended mid-column, hugging the bottom, or even chasing baitfish near the surface. The key? Keep moving and cover water efficiently.

Go-To Fall Tactics
Here are four tried-and-true techniques to help you catch more bass this season:
•     Spinnerbaits: Great for clear water and active fish. The flash and vibration mimic baitfish and allow you to cover ground fast.
•     Crankbaits: Lipless designs with tight wobble are perfect for shallow water. Use deeper-diving models to probe mid-depths.
•     Jigs & Swimbaits: Ideal for suspended fish and bottom-huggers. Choose natural prey colors for maximum effectiveness.
•     Topwater Lures: Nothing beats the thrill of a surface strike. Early mornings and late afternoons are prime time.


Gear That Keeps You Fishing Longer
Fall fishing means cooler temps, wind, and long casting sessions. That’s where Fish Monkey’s fall-ready gloves and socks come in — designed to keep you warm, dry, and in control.


The Wooly Series
•     Wooly Half Finger: Natural wool insulates even when wet. Exposed fingers allow for knot tying and bait rigging.
•     Wooly Long: Full-finger warmth with the same breathable, moisture-wicking wool.
•     Wooly Mitten: Flip-back design for quick access to fingertips when needed.


Task Fleece Glove
•     Technical fleece construction for warmth and dexterity
•     Synthetic leather palm + silicone grip for rod control
•     Touchscreen-compatible index finger for on-the-water connectivity


The Blocker Glove
•     Ultralight 2mm neoprene for warmth and flexibility
•     Slit openings for thumb/index finger access
•     Perfect for damp, chilly days when heavier gloves are too much


Merino Wool Socks
•     Lightweight, moisture-wicking, and breathable
•     Compression fit with no-seam toe to prevent chafing
•     Available in boot cut and over-the-calf styles
•     Made in the USA by one of the oldest textile mills


Final Thoughts
Fall bass fishing is all about movement — both for the fish and the angler. With the right tactics and gear, you’ll stay comfortable and focused from sunrise to sunset. Whether you're chasing topwater strikes or probing deep structure, Fish Monkey has the gloves and socks to keep you dialed in.
Be ready for fall bass fishing. Be ready with Fish Monkey.
