Last weekend we ventured out onto a New Hampshire lake for a day of fall fishing. Since the waters are cooling with winter approaching, this is congregating the fish into schools and there are areas that an angler should search for when looking to have a productive day. At this time of year one of the things that fish are looking for are areas that are holding baitfish but another main factor are areas with good oxygen levels. During the summer, most parts of the lake are highly oxygenated since there is weed growth all around but when the waters cool the weeds start dying off. As these weeds die, they take away from the oxygen levels and make it uncomfortable for the fish to stay in those areas. So the fish are looking for areas that still harbor green weeds that are still growing some and haven't started the die off process. So what does this mean to the angler, when an angler is fishing they should be searching for areas that hold green grass. To be able to find these areas there are a couple of lures that can assist at doing this and a crankbait is one that can quickly tell you if there are green weeds in the area. If you want to put a point to your advantage while out there fishing in the fall, search for areas that have green weeds and this may help increase your success for that day on the water. Tomorrow we will take a look at the difference between two styles of crankbaits for fall fishing.
