A bass's main survival concerns involve getting plenty to eat, protecting eggs and fry, and controlling habitat where food sources are most abundant. Instinct dictates the way bass perform each of these jobs to continue their survival.
When food becomes scarce, such as in the fall, bass tend to become much more aggressive in their feeding. They'll return to the areas where food sources were present during the summer, and they'll be attracted to bigger lures, because of the bigger meal they represent. Bass have also learned that wounded or distressed baitfish and other food sources are easier meals to catch. A lure swimming strongly on a constant retrieve may be ignored, but let it tumble or jerk erratically, and the bass suddenly see easy prey.
