Texas is home to hundreds of miles of rivers and creeks and thousands of miles of shorelines. Fall is a great time to go fishing in the Lonestar State. With our proud sponsorship of the Lone Star State 25 on The Fly Event, we have mapped and identified a lifetime's worth of places to go fishing in Texas. The fall angling season often sees less anglers fishing your local waters than spring and summer. So you can best be prepared to have your best day on the water, here are some tips to help you catch more bass this fall.
Look for Shallow Waters. As the water temperatures cool down, bass begin to move from deeper summer spots toward shallower waters, especially where baitfish congregate. Focus on shallow coves, points, and creek mouths, especially near grassy or weedy areas.
Follow the Baitfish. During the fall, schools of shad and other baitfish migrate into the shallows, and bass follow them. Use electronics to locate baitfish. Backwater areas, creek channels, and flats with baitfish activity are prime spots for bass.
Target Structure. Bass like to hold near structure such as submerged logs, rock piles, stumps, and drop-offs. Focus on areas where deep and shallow water meet. Look for grass beds, lily pads, or any remaining submerged vegetation. Bass use this cover to ambush prey.
Fish During Feeding Windows. Early morning and late afternoon are usually the most active times for bass feeding in the fall. Overcast days with slight wind can also extend their activity window. If there's a cold front, the fish may become less active, so fishing just before or after the front can yield good results.
Adjust to Water Temperature. As the water temperature drops in the fall, bass become more aggressive and feed heavily to prepare for winter. Target water temperatures between 60°F and 70°F.
