Fall fishing is improving with the cooler temperatures and higher water levels. Most of my clients are catching between 30-50 bass a trip running between 2-5 lbs. with a occasional one in the 7-8lb. Range. The fish are schooling in the open water grass at where you can find a slight drop in 10-15 feet of water. You can catch them on crank baits, flukes and finesse worms with a split shot rig. After the fish go down let the bait fall toward the bottom we are catching larger fish. If you find running water 6 in. Carolina rigged curl tail worms are working well. The artificicial bite is better than live bait at this time but when water temperatures cool more the shiner fishing should improve.
Great Fishing,
