Why You Should Fish in September

Many people feel that with the close of the summer, it's time to get back to reality and spend those weekends preparing for the winter season. Actually, this is the time where you should be pushing to do everything you can before it gets cold and that includes none other than the greatest activity which allows you to sit all day by the water doing nothing: fishing.

Much to people's disbelief, September is actually one of the best months to maintain your fishing status. For one, as it gets cooler at night, fish will aggressively swim in shallow water to feed before the nighttime weather changes their daily activity. More fish towards the water's surface = more success in bites.

Another plus is now that Labor Day has come and gone, there are less boats in the water. The less boats to create disturbance = more fish making their way to shore.

Also, take a step outside. What does it feel like? If you're closer to the north, chances are there's less humidity in the air. This can bring a nice breeze during the day even when the sun is out and temperatures creep into the upper 70's. Most people find it unbearable to spend an entire day on the water in the middle of summer when the heat index can reach anywhere between 90-100 degrees.

Now that the peak of summer is over, the air is starting to cool but will still allow for a more comfortable day in the outdoors. With the decrease in humid air, it makes sitting on a boat more pleasant and enjoyable.

So get out your gear and head to the water to take in as much time as you can bringing home the bacon (or fish)!
