Fall is one of the best times of the year to go bass fishing.

Fishermen are able to have success fishing for bass in the fall because the colder water temperatures cause the bass to swim together in schools, make them more active, and leave the bass looking to eat anything in the water.

To get the most success out of fishing in the fall, make sure you know the temperature of the water before you set out.

Also check to see which plants and bugs are natural to that body of water to help you correctly choose your bait to match.

Knowing where the deep water is near the shallow water can also be helpful in successfully finding the bass. This time of year, the shallow water is more likely to be at a colder temperature than the deeper water.
