Is It Fall In Your Area Yet?

[theflyingbassfisherman]

I am... water temp on my favorite lake dropped eight degrees down into the mid 70's after two days of torrential downpour. Absolutely destroyed them on squarebills today. 

[Bankbeater]

It has started here.  We went from highs of 95 to highs of 75 in about 3 days.

[Drewski73]

Well, we just had our first day where the temp didnt start with a "9" since May. However, mid week is back up to mid 90's......

 

No fall yet for the Houston area.

Finally got a little break! Temps mid-upper 80s for highs, with mid 70s @ night, & clear skies.

But it's only gonna last a day or 2

Leaves are fallin in east tenn. Getting close....so want to head out.

[Bass Junkie]

Fall patterns are swinging in here in NE Ohio! I have a love/hate relationship with fall... It signals the end of the fishing season, but at the same time the fishing can be great given the right conditions 

[THE_Vue's]

fall here in wisco.  Frost on cars in the morning and salmon run is hot hot

[Grizzn N Bassin]

I love being on the water in the Autumn, even if the fishing sucks. It is POSITIVELY my favorite time of the year.

You don't get any fall footballs?? Idk if I'm reading it right that fishing sucks for you or even if the fishing is bad for a few days its still.your favorite.

[prjavelin]

its been a hell of a week literally. over 100 degrees every day this week here in Puerto Rico. It has been worse than july. Very tough bite.

You wouldn't know it by waling outside, September can be the most humid and uncomfortable moth here.  I haven't considered bass fishing in a few months except 30 minutes of casting in my community ponds.

Nights in the 50's and even a couple in the 40's have made the water temps drop like a rock. They went from low 80's to low 70's in a week at one of the lakes I fish often. The first couple days after the cold weather was a little tough but now that they're getting acclimated it's starting to fire up!

I don't understand about the footballs, but what I meant, is when I am catching fish, it's GREAT! But even if they are not, I still enjoy the cool fall mornings, the colors of the leaves, and the foggy mist usually hovering over my favorite lake. Man, is that poetry or what...lol.

Bass shaped like footballs they are so fat!

Water temps were 62 this morning and got up to 67 in some areas I fished.

[DogBone_384]

It's getting cooler out: 50's @ night, higher 60's during the day. Can't say for sure, but I know the fish have disappeared from my usual pond. I've thrown Senkos, Zoom baits, spinner baits, and crank baits with nothing more than a Sunfish.

Too bad hand grenades are illegal... That'd catch something .

I think it is so awesome on here reading everyone's posts because they vary so much depending on where you live.

 

It is cloudy, cool and windy here in Northern Illinois. The fishing has definitely been very tough.

 

Hopefully I can get another 4-6 weeks of fishing in before I have to put the boat away for winter.

Here in Maryland LAST weekend,  water temps in the upper 60's. We killed them on hollow body frogs,  even with a 68 degree water temperature.   Night time air temps in the 40's with days in the 70's.  All this past week,  air temps in the upper 80's to 90 degrees.   Today the water temperature was 76 degrees.  An eight degree increase since last week.  I thought just maybe,  fishing would continue to be good.  I was wrong.  By 11 AM,  the creek was a ghost town.  By 1:30 PM,  we called it a day.

[needs2hunt]

surface temp at my favorite lake yesterday was 58.5 degrees... wasn't able to find anything biting!!!!

[prjavelin]

Update from Puerto Rico... I went last week, it was great, a great bite and a lot of fish, I saw a lot of leaves from the trees in the road and the lake had this cool breeze that I always associate with Xmas. In a week of two the fishing is going to rock!!!

Went out saturday and water temps were low 70's and it looked like the lake had a late algea bloom that blanketed most of the lake i think that helped cool the water off quite a bit and apparently made the fish hungry first 30+ fish day I've had in a very long time not many big girls but a few nice 3 lbers its starting to feel like fall finally cool nights in the 50's and mid 70's at midday the leaves are falling and the fog on the water first thing in the morning makes me think there's something magical goin on out there as i cast my spook around that first blowdown of the day.

[JT Bagwell]

Our temps took a big downward dip this week.

 

Last week we hit almost 80 twice and this week we have lows around 33 and the high today was 53.

 

Hopefully it doesn't kill the bite for me.

[dreamertino]

We are in transition and man its rough

Just got back from a week in Northern Wisconsin. Water temps were in the high 50's and the largemouth were very active on shallow weedy flats on natural lakes. Spinner baits and jerkbaits took fish consistently all week.

I am in northern Illinois and the patterns are similar.

 

Last week I was lighting them up on a Lucky Craft Bevy Shad and Siebert Outdoors swim jig with a Swim Senko trailer.

 

Hopefully it is still going strong on Friday when the air temps are in the 30's when I hit the water.
