Historically for me, fishing in the late Summer/Early Fall has been a difficult time of the year to catch Bass. The long days of Summer are mostly over, but the chill of Fall isn't in full effect. It can be tough to find fish and even harder to catch them. Despite the difficult fishing, I have always enjoyed this time of year. I love a good challenge and catching transitional Bass is one of them. Over the years, through many failed attempts I have learned a few techniques that seem to do the trick, or at least help catch a limit during this tough time of year. Weather patterns and lake conditions vary and I must say, most of these techniques pertain to my experience fishing for Northern Strain Bass in the north east.

Mt. Laguna

It's been hot as hell in San Diego. With a record breaking heat wave, its hard to remember what a cool night feels like. Over the past few days, it has been especially getting to me, so I had to pack up the car and head to Mt. Laguna. The timing couldn't have been better as the perseids meteor shower was peaking, the moon was just a sliver, and the sky was clear. As we got to 3000ft, the sun was waking its way behind the mountains. I'm not sure if it's because of the nearby fires or it was just a special night but the sky was on fire! The sun was a molten ball, melting into the horizon. As it set, it slower became a sliver in the skyline.
