OK..when is that big fall bite coming? Water temps the key?

[RandyFish]

Many folks claim that the bass should be putting on a hard fall bite, but i have yet to see it.

Is this triggered by the water temps?

If so, are we then fishing slowly to match the colder water? Or if the fish are feeding heavily, are we trying to be more active?

BTW: thanks for all the help over the summer everyone.

RandyFish,

Water temp makes a big difference. Where are you located at? Duluth area should be in the low to mid 50's. BIG fish are biting! Slow big presentations are working well.

Dont rule out spinnerbaits and rattle traps burned shallow. In the fall bass seem to have a bigger strike windows and these baits can really help locate spread out fish quickly.

My best bite in central MN is when the temps are between 55 and 50 degrees with consistent weather. I like jigs and brush hogs this time of year for the lunkers.

Low light has been good to me recently. Been out three times in the last ten days & did really well right at sunset twice, the other day was last Thursday after it rained until early afternoon, no bass that day.

Saturday evening caught one here or there until about 6:20. Then my friend & I put 8-10 fish in the boat, all 14" - 16", in about twenty minutes. Then it was over just as fast.

All mine came on a spoon burned over the weeds, his came on a jitterbug, in about 5' of water with decent weed cover.
