Fall Fishing - Tips & Techniques to Catch More Fish

By Trevor Kugler

The fall is the best season of the year for fishing in my opinion for many reasons. In the fall many people tend to forget about fishing and start concentrating on activities like football and hunting. This is a big mistake. Fall fishing can be the best fishing of the entire year, and in this article I'm going to outline some tips and techniques to help you catch more fish in the fall.

The first thing to keep in mind in the fall of the year is that the weather can change quite quickly. This is important for two reasons; first when the weather changes the fishing changes and second when the weather changes the conditions change. As an angler you want to know how changes in the weather affect fishing, and how you can use this information to your advantage. As an angler you also want to be prepared for weather changes that include temperature changes in the fall of the year. This is why fall fishing should always involve a pair of fingerless gloves.

For many fall fishing techniques having your fingers unfettered is of the utmost importance. This is where fingerless gloves come onto play. This way your hands can stay somewhat warm, while your fingers are free for tying knots, feeling your line, and baiting up. A quality pair of fingerless gloves will become your best friend whenever you go out and enjoy some fall fishing.

Anytime you talk about fall fishing you need to mention live bait. One of the best things to use as bait in the fall of the year is live bait and when you use live bait you should be using gang hooks, especially if you're using live worms. A live worm or minnow rigged on a set of pre-tied gang hooks, and allowed to flow naturally with the current of a river or stream is a deadly combination in the fall of the year. This is a fabulous fall fishing technique for all of you river and stream anglers.

The next technique for fall fishing is to use the moon to your advantage. By using the moon to your advantage and planning your fishing trips accordingly you will be much more productive on the water. This may be the most important fall fishing tip in this article. Did you know that the fishing is better during certain phases of the moon? It's true, and being on the water in the fall when the moon is full is a great idea, I promise you. Learn how moon phases affect fishing and your fall fishing trips will be much more productive.

These fall fishing tips and techniques will help any angler catch more fish. Give on or all of them a try and find out for yourself just how effective they are. The fall truly is the best time of year to be on the water, and the scenery's usually not to bad either. It's usually a good deal all the way around.
