autumn tactics

Hi There,
Head to the river sections of the dams you are fishing and increase your lure size. Autumn is known for aggresive hits (fish are fattening up for winter), so fish fast. But based on the weather of late, it feels like we went straight from summer to winter...so maybe a slow presentation might do the trick.
Good luck.

Hi Agrelek
I agree with ant. I'd head up the channels and start shallow and move deep. Personally, I'd go for slightly slower retrieves. My go to lures around now are lipless cranks ripped through the top of the grass (try get ones that match the baitfish as much as possible), spinnerbaits (for slower retrieves use ones that have almost a 90 degree angle, or even bend some and use Colorado blades). Moving deeper I like jigs. Personally I go quite light in terms of weight and add a substantial trailer to give it some substance and slow the fall even more.
Hope you come right
Hi everyone, well its competition time again for our club, and I was wondering about lure selection and tactics in winter to help me hook the big ones... Any ideas?? Please give me a few tips for the upcoming autumn and winter seasons:fishn
