For those who live in cooler climates, fishing can slow down during the fall. But we've got some tips to keep your catches coming. 1. Keep an eye out for birds and fish where they're fishing. 2. Use bigger bait. Fish don't want to waste calories chasing small stuff when it's cold. 3. Seek out spots where the water has been warmed by the sun. 4. Concentrate your efforts around the weeds. 5. Slow your retrieves and/or trolling speeds when the weather cools down significantly. | Bennington Pontoon
