Yesterday 10/12/2019 was really a stumper for my Dad and me. We were fishing a stretch of a river which we have caught over 20 in a morning on during the spring. It had rose about 1-2ft. the water clarity was 6-12", water temp was 75-77. We threw the entire tackle box at em but couldn't get one bite. any ideas what the fish may have been doing?

Hi Jesse, It's common to catch fish in the same areas in the fall as you do in the spring but now always the case. I would guess the bait isn't in the area and therefore the bass aren't there yet. I don't think its a technique that is the problem. I would recommend trying the area again as the water temp falls.
