Shallow running crankbaits like the Sebile Bull Minnow are effective in fall. One need only follow his exploits on Facebook to realize that this designer of fishing tackle is a dedicated angler of vast world wide experience. One wonders when he finds time to design his lures. As we move into fall crankbait season the Sebile Action Series crankbaits that came in the mail today are a welcome addition to this angler’s war chest. The floating Bull Minnow is for depths of 2 to 5-feet, just right for those suspending bass of early fall. The Suspending crankbait Star Shiner works just a little below those depths.
The particularly attractive feature of these baits is that they are precision tuned right out of the box. As one who hates to tune crankbaits, that is a great feature.
Shallow water cranking is an effective fall technique. As the water cools the surface swarms with schools of bait fish. Working crankbaits just under the forage fish on the surface produces action from the predator fish preying upon them.
A blue September sky and relatively clear water sends anglers in search of darker water. Easing a boat into shallow coves allows for the use of crankbaits. If the water is slightly stained and there is a lot of wood to be found so much the better.
Cast crankbaits beyond submerged trees and brush. Then slowly twitch them into position on the edges of the wood. Letting it sit still for a minute entices wary fish that cannot help but attack this invader of their space.
