I know that the fall transition is starting to happen because the water temperature in the local pond is starting to get a little colder. The temperature at night is now dropping back into the 60s. The other indicator is definitely the type of baits the fish are reacting to. I am still getting some bites on plastic worms and even flukes, but it is not like during spawn when they are biting non-stop. You have to work a little bit more during this time of year to catch them, and there is definitely no guarantee that you will catch them either.
It will be an interesting fall. I am hoping to catch a lot more bass this fall than last year. I am always trying to learn new baits and patterns. This is what makes bass fishing so fun. I hope you are all having a great weekend. Stay Committed, Stay Driven.
