I'm looking forward to the upcoming fall season for the cooler weather which means easier time fishing. But, I've never done much fall fishing for cats. I wanted to last year but work always got in the way as well as the weather since I fish out of a kayak.

So what are you gonna start looking for once the nights start cooling off. Mainly depths, and structure?

Bait

49 degree water temp!!!

humps and shad balls if you use a depth finder.

i wouldn't know what fall fishing is like but i can't wait either as i have skunked all my summer cat fishing so far.

I must be fishing the wrong areas!! Iv never found that temp in the fall!

Find the bait, find the fish.

When water starts to cool depth and structure can change on a daily basis or even in a matter of hours.

Find the boats and your there .But you better have SHAD. OH and you might need to know how to do it.my self never tried it .

app for your phone Navionics is a good addition to your toolbox, shows details of the lake you are fishing and takes a lot of guess work out of things. Turn on your GPS and pinpoints your location within a few meters where you are.
