Hey guys I have been fishing since I was little but just bought my first boat about 6 months ago. This fall I am really trying to clamp down on fishing now that I have what I need to do so. I am having trouble finding where fish may be in the fall transition. I have caught few and far between on top water(zara spooks and frogs). I have a Humminbird 561 fish finder that I am still learning on how to use. So any tips as far as bait, structure, or just places to start would be great. My main lakes are Caddo Lake, Cross Lake, and Lake Bistineau.

Fishy, repost in the Central Fishing section so the Louisiana guys can give you their input.

 

Are the lakes turning over in spots, causing the fish to become inactive?

 

Water temps dropping faster than expected?

 

Bad weather passing through your area?

 

Bass are still upset at Miles for blowing the Bamasux game and are having a hunger strike?

 

You have to take all of this into consideration.

 

But please repost in the Central Fishing Section to reach the Louisiana guys, who are fantastic, especially Martintheduck.

 

Geaux Tigers!

Thanks will do. Well water temps have been in the mid 60s to low 70s. Another thing is that its been cold front after cold front hitting here and I am assuming its got the bass running in circles.

Catt would be a good resource with the lake types you are fishing.
