This fall started out great in October, the temps slowly cooled down and the bass increased their appetite each week. Things were going as planned in the world of bass fishing until the late October winter weather arrived. Those few days of below freezing weather really turned the fish off, it was such a drop in temperatures the bass didn't know what to do. Now, sitting here on a Monday night with temperatures reaching into the 60's for the entire week, what are the bass supposed to do. Water temperatures in this area were 41 last weekend, typical for early November, just a day ago the water temp was 44, excuse me Mother Nature, wrong way! All experienced anglers know that consistency is key in the fall and the spring, we have had very little of that this fall. In turn, the bass have not reacted with a typical fall bite window that is normally great. Bass have been caught, but certainly not in the numbers or size of a typical fall.
This fall reminds me as an angler, no matter what sometimes, the fish and their environment are what we are in, they dictate what happens, and ultimately how they will react to weather patterns, for the better or for the worse.
I will keep at it, who knows, in a couple days I may be back throwing TOPWATER baits for them! :)
