So water temperature behavior/activity is actually very miscommunicated. Bass aren’t necessarily feeling and interpreting the weather the exact way we do. In fact, bass can actually be more active in more areas of the lake during colder water periods. Mainly it’s about oxygen levels in the water. There’s really no “magic” water temperature I’ve found. ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL. I’ll explain this in a video later because there’s so many moving parts. I always think in terms of water temp movement. Is it warming, stable or cooling. That’s all. Even during the spawn you’ll see claims that bass spawn at “65-68”. That’s not the full truth. It’s a great guide. However if the water temperature stabilizes and the day length is correct (month) bass will spawn . It can 55 degrees. Sooooooo in short no they NEVER stop feeding because of water temperature. There’s always a way. ALWAYS. Our methods adjust. Where we look my change but there’s always bass biting even when there’s ice or when there’s 100 degree water ( like South Carolina) the show keeps going on

New York is literally my favorite state to fish in

Everyone starts out small. We all start out local. What do you perceive a disadvantage to be? What is something that anyone is successful at quickly? How exactly would you define expertise? Let get clear on what that is first.

That’s a huge one for Logan. It has a lot of fish but not many big ones.

The flint is a special place! I fish it at least once a year as well. I’d go as far as to say it’s one of the most special rivers in the country

Fish stay with this lawlessness

I just wanted everyone to know im thankful for you being in this group. This is really cool. When this began I didn’t even realize I’d get as much from it as I put in it. I mention some of y’all’s name in conversation on a daily basis. Just wanted y’all to know that. Have a good rest of your weekend. Look for the Sunday Q&A tomorrow morning!

It’s really hard as I started fishing national tournaments to do this. I have to get really creative now. That’s why I fish for other species. It introduces me to other people and different ways of thinking. The biggest grab is learning a new way to look at things. I have a few friends that I can compare findings with. You’d be surprised how little most competitors actually fish. Competition is mostly mental so I’ve found the most value in other sports. Helping my son with motocross has been a eye opener as well. There’s resources and value literally all around us and what I’ve found is it’s often found in a non fishing environment.

Hey will! You may be one of the only college guys here. I’m excited to have you here man. How has your season been so far. Tell me where you go next! When you have a tournament be sure to reach out so we can talk about it. If I’ve been there I’d be happy to share what I’ve experienced about the lake
