All this will require you to adjust, and your understanding of the changes and the patterns of what the bass are supposed to do will be front and center. If you don\u2019t understand the changes coming, you will struggle getting bites.

One suggestion I gave him was to study fall patterns. When we hit those fall temperature changes, he will be prepared for the different pattern changes. Read up on what bass are doing when it gets cooler, while we have more wind and what are they preparing for as we hit the extreme differences of fall fishing. The more you are aware of what they are supposed to do the easier it will be to adjust while you\u2019re on the water. Knowledge can be everything, lack of knowledge can be devastating to success. It\u2019s also imperative to understand the changes in bait selection as we progress into fall. Bait selection plays a huge role in your success, knowing where to go is key but using the correct bait to entice the bass during this period is also a very important piece of the puzzle in front of you.<\/p>\n<p>Chase baits, reaction baits, and being in the right place is always a big part of fishing but in the fall, it is even more important as the bass move considerably shallower. Fishing an offshore lake, like Guntersville, will tempt your patience if you don\u2019t adjust. I believe it\u2019s never too late to learn, and having the will to spend some of your valuable time improving and sharpening up on patterns, baits and visual keys will just make you better. <br \/>\nThere are many YouTube videos on fall fishing, and many articles throughout the internet, a little research will go a long way and pay you back in bunches!<br \/>\nCaptain Mike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adjustment for fall fishing by Mike Gerry As we transition into the fall of the year, what has been a hot summer and consistent pattern will more than likely change; the nights will cool, the bass will move, and your bait selection could change drastically.
