i know I am. I have a big fishing trip planned with my friends and members of a fishing club we made. Its going to be awesome!

who else is excited!?!?

I'm headed out tomorrow to a pond with both largemouths and 20" smallies. 2nd warm day following a cold front, with towering cumulus and thundershowers expected in the afternoon. Can't get much more excited. I can see that buzzbait going down now. Maybe a jumpbait too, just for fun. And pigs in the slop too. And...

Fall fishing?????

It was 94 degrees on the lake today and the humidity was 85%. I drank 2 gallons of water and caught 10 fish.

Fall will never get here it seems.

I sure am!  Going backpacking in the smokies with a travel rod!

Going backpacking in the Smokies...   try Lake Fontana it has nice smallmouth.

I'm with ya Sambro! Not to far away so I feel the fall chill creeping in here too. Can't wait to head down to Dale Hollow for my first deep water smallie trip with a friend.

Good luck up your way.

Every year from Late Sept to Mid Oct I catch my best bass!!!!

I hope the fall brings more rain to Central Virginia so the ponds and rivers will be good for fishing.

The Pamunkey and Potomac are super in the fall and I am looking forward to some cooler water to have the fish start to move.

But, with that said, once the temperature gets below 70* it is cold to me and I hate cold weather.     >  

Hey Sam, I am ready for _all fishing.... ;D  with Fall definitely being one of my favorite times of the year. I enjoy that there is much less fishing pressure on most lakes too.

Big O

It's Primetime on the Tennessee River!

x2    I also like it, just the simple fact it's alot cooler outside  ;D

I don't want summer to end! This has easily been my best fishing year ever. I've tried more new water this year than ever...and I've targeted more species than ever.

When the LMB weren't biting, the white bass were. When the whites stopped biting, the channel cats turned it on. I've had many 100+ fish days with my fishing buddy this year. On Sunday we caught 8 species - channel cat, flatheads, blue cats, drum, white bass, largemouth, shortnose gar, and common carp...and we caught 'em in number and size on everything from inline spinners to cut bait.

I still love bass fishing and will get back on 'em in the fall, but up next is snagging season. Opening day is September 15th on many Missouri waters.  

I can't wait!!!!!  It seems like we still have two months of summer left :'(

A friend of mine says we only have two seasons:

9 months of summer and 3 months until sumer  ;D

Seems the north and south are really quite different places. I've never fished in the south. Up here our transition periods are rapid and intense. I wonder if a lot of the "fall fishing" we hear about is more a northern thing -or at least more intense.

Getting pumped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am done with Summer fishing. I can't wait for Fall to get here. I cant buy a bite during the SUmmer.

I'm totally psyched about the fall because it's followed quickly by winter which is my time of the year for bigger bass.  

I am so excited.  More trips to Texas and good fishing around here.  Work is starting to slow down so more time to fish.  

fall fishing is my favorite fishing

It was 80 degrees Sunday with the best topwater bite I've ever seen.  I put everything else away but my poppers, spooks, and buzzbaits and had a great time. Then a cold front came in that night and it's been low 60's ever since. I fished both Mon. (1 dink) and then Tues. evening and I couldn't even get a single bite.  First time skunked at my favorite pond.

You can smell the fall coming. I'm hoping by the weekend that the fish have adjusted and the bite picks up again.

What baits seem to work the best in the fall . I hear its a blast to fish the fall cause the fish are eating everything . Do you want to scale up and use bigger baits ? Or do the hit cranks better . Thanx for the help

Can't wait!! I often fish well into November. I see more duck hunters than bass fishermen!!!

Well its great to see that everyone's excited!

I'm actually heading out tomorrow and Sunday to a few of my favorite local spots to go fishing. It's not quite fall yet but it is getting cooler.

oh and dont forget to post pics of the big ones you guys catch

Fall fishing?????

It was 94 degrees on the lake today and the humidity was 85%. I drank 2 gallons of water and caught 10 fish.

Fall will never get here it seems.

I can't wait to see the thermometer drop below 75 at sunrise....

I just joined a bass club and will start tournament fishing in a couple of weeks.  I am so pumped.  It's nice to have something other than grandchildren to get excited about at my age.
