Fall Fishing Tidal Rivers
Anyone have any insight on fall fishing on tidal fisheries?
I would love to hear about that as well
Hey Guys, Fall is my favorite time to fish, especially on tidal rivers. Below are two tidal river seminars that discuss the fall. Generally speaking the grass begins to die as the days get shorter and the water temp begins to drop. This really starts to move baitfish around. I will fish the grass patterns until they disappear. Depending on where you are fishing in the country this is probably starting to happen now. Grass patterns on the Chesapeake are really starting to fade. Grass patterns on the Delaware River are hanging on right now. The patterns I've been successful with this past week are cranking, chatterbaits, jigs and shaky heads. The water temps are hanging around 60 degrees and all the tools i n your tackle box can be effective. When the grass bite goes away, look for things like rock and wood habitat to dominate the bite. Also look for areas that have less current than the main river flow. Things like harbors, deep creeks or creeks with low flow. These are the wintering areas. Everything in the food chain will be there soon.
