Fall is my absolute favorite time of year to fish. The lakes are less busy and the fish are feeding heavy. The notion that the fish move to the back of the creeks, although somewhat true, is the biggest reason a lot of people struggle that time of year. Some fish will move back with some shad, but the majority of the fish and shad stay on the main lake. We fish deep drains with crankbaits and Arigs in 20-25’ that are filled with shad and have a lot of 50-100 fish days in October and November doing this.

If non of that works, I sit down and make me a banana sandwich and relax.

Not much will change for another 6 or so weeks. Should be a good early morning topwater bite towards the end of October on main lake. Other than that, just like normal

Honestly I think that our whole East Texas area after the freeze and other weather pattern changes is a month behind…. I say give it another 4-6 weeks before you go into full fall mode…. Right now on Fork these bass are still in 20-30ft of water

sucks
