Fall is not the time to be putting away your fishing rods and packing away your tackle box till warmer temperatures come round. (Plus, you won't want to miss our posts on ice fishing in the coming months.) Anyway, don't rule cooler temps and fall weather as being the end to your fishing enjoyment. Fall is a pleasant time to hit the waters and enjoy the scenery and most importantly, hook a nice fish!

As winter nears, many fish gorge on food supplies so that they can get them ready for the winter. As they skim the tops of the water looking for food, this potentially gives fisherman an easier shot at reeling in a good catch. The water temperatures will soon become cooler on lakes and open waters, so fish will resort to smaller bodies of water such as rivers and creeks. Hit the shady, hidden spots on the waters and you're sure to find them hiding there. Make sure to switch out your bait and lures during the shift in your fishing patterns for fall. During this season, the food sources that hatched in the spring will be reaching mature size, so you may want to try out larger bait to get the job done.

Fish are in an aggressive feeding pattern during the fall, so take advantage of these patterns and you may just reeling the the catch of your life!
