Skirted Jig Tricks & Tweaks for Big Fall Largemouths • From southern impoundments to northern shield lakes, it’s hard to imagine a better autumn bass bait than a skirted jig dressed with a soft-plastic trailer. While variations such as swimjigs, bladed jigs, and flipping jigs shine bright, bass pros today increasingly wield hybrid punch rigs, a slick variation on the silicone-skirt-and-softbait theme, and often, twice as weedless as traditional jigs.

The Great Fall RIVER RUNS for Walleyes • Opportunities abound for diehard walleye anglers in the magical months of October and November, especially in rivers.

We’re not talking about fish whose tails tickle the 50-inch mark by a finger or two; we’re talking about fish nearing 60 with stomachs as wide as the anglers chasing them.
