By the time Labor Day arrives, many fishermen are hanging up their rods. As the leaves start to change and the water begins to cool, we need to recognize the dinner bell is being rung once again.

Fish feed heavy only a few times a year. If I were to advise a client of mine as to when the best opportunity was to catch large numbers of fish, I would certainly say in the early to mid fall. I wrote last year around this time that I was kind of new to fall fishing myself. Being an avid hunter, I tend to be in the woods or on the water hunting more often than fishing this time of year. Boy was I missing out! What I found after a goose hunt turned fishing trip, will now have me on the water more often after Labor Day.
