September

Aside from pre-spawn fishing in the spring, September is my best month. You can have some incredible days on the water up here in September. This is the month where average size starts to increase as well.

September can be a good fishing month in my area, but some years still very warm.It will start to cool off consistently towards the end of the month.

I've noticed that lately too.  It tends to be more of a "summer-type" month rather than fall now.

Last year I blew it.  I forgot to make reservations for my wife’s October birthday.  I almost blew it again. This place takes reservations 60 days out.  I got in at 40 days. Last year I was last minute and NOPE.   So literally. “Do you remember?”   Not usually, but I did this year

 

I was consumed with my new rabid love of chasing bass.  SEPTEMBER!   I did well last year.  
 

on a  EWF note. We saw a tribute band that blindfolded felt like the original group.  Such a fun song.

Late September through October bass seem to be everywhere and nowhere for me . I might catch them 25 foot deep on  structure or in the back of pockets one foot down . Its a confusing and fun time to fish . Once they get  figured out it could be a  bass on every cast for awhile .

October 15 is the magic date around here, especially on the Tennessee River. When the water

cools the smallmouth put on the feed bag and it can be lights out!  Of course the exact date

varies, but that's a target for river rats.

September is closer to October.  I'll give it that.  But the bass still think it's August all month long.

September is just summer pt II in SC. ?

September can be miserably hot in SoCal , October it gets Santana winds to 70 mph and the height of fire season...pure hell.

Fishing can be good but November to January is our time for bass fishing as little boat traffic to deal with and decent weather.

PS, Labor Day sales start now!

Forget September I want October. Forget October I want November. Forget November I want December-May

[Functional]

at least around here I've noticed the bite picks up the most mid to late october. Weve had some consistently cool nights lately so I'm hoping the 2 days of fishing I have planned this weekend go well.

September is historically my toughest month of the warm water months. 

[Tennessee Boy]

The best thing about September!

Looking at our long term forecast it looks like September will be a lot like August here. Hot and muggy. Around October 1rst it drops to around 70 to 75 daytime highs. That's more like it

[Captain Phil]

If you can stand the heat, late August and September can be good for bass fishing here in Central Florida.  Our regular afternoon thunderstorms start around that time and it seems to rain almost every afternoon making it very hot and steamy.  This brings lake water levels up and the fish follow the water.  It is advisable to be off the water before the fireworks start around 3 PM.  August and September have been some of my best months for larger fish.  Most are caught flipping heavy cover, but lately spinnerbaiting docks has been productive for me. My favorite fall bass month is October.  If you ever get a chance to fish the north end of Okeechobee when water is running out of the Kissimmee River, do it.

By the long-range forecast - after tomorrow hits near 90, we'll be 70s and low 80s dropping to highs in the mid to upper 60s by the end of the month.

I prefer to wait until the crowds thin out, and the h2o temp drops a bit more...

Up here too Tom. Used to welcome late Sept. at the deer club. Late Sept. meant the chance for some weather kicking the big boys into chasing the girls. Lately summer has extended into Oct. Not deer hunting much anymore, but would like to look forward to cooler fishing weather.

I keep tv’s and computers… electronics all unplugged, unless I’m using them. I just don’t during the storms. Lost a couple of tv’s.

I do like to fish this time of year, rain don’t bother me but, the lightning …. Now that’s a different story. Lake George can get nasty fast. When the St. John’s starts rising it backs up its little rivers and creeks. The Ocklawaha is a good to fish then too.
