Woke up this morning, walked outside and got that sensation you get when your body senses a change in seasons. You know that feeling right? I start to get a little excited with thecooler temps, knowing bass are starting to move into the backwaters and shallows more consistently, and shad are finally big enough from spawn to excite big schools of bass, more consistently. I used to hate winter and think that was the time of year to find something else to do with my time, but summer in Mississippi is just as bad for fishing it seems like. Instead of fishing, i find myself cleaning blades on spinners, getting dried silt out of my line guides, reorganizing over and over again, and so on, just like the winter time. So that cool, light breeze i felt this morning instead of the usual humid, stagnant, sweltering greenhouse-like temps, has lifted my spirits, as I am starting to look forward to countless hours hunting the big ole' mouth. Time to put my worms down and start throwing my spinners, jerks, flukes and cranks more often. Summer blues are dissipating!!

Hallelujah !! Bring on those crisp days. My favorite time of year.

Yeah boy I'm in hog heaven, Tuesday it was 107 degrees .Wednesday after the front it was a cool 95 degrees. Whoo boy what a relief

Amen! I love the fall in general. Best time of the year.

30 degree drop in a week out here from Wed-Sunday... should start getting crazy out there.

Can't come soon enough. I'm so sick of 100+ degree days. October through April is my favorite time to fish here.

I'm reaching for my jerkbaits and lipless crankbaits already!
