22 Days of Bass Fishing in September & Lessons Learned

For the last couple of years I have been fortunate to be able to take a month-long vacation in September. Although I love fishin’ all four seasons, this particular month is one I think I like best. The bass are usually biting big time to fatten up for winter; weather is typically still beautiful, and the crowds are gone from the waterways I love to fish and the roads to get there! This year, I hooked the boat up to my truck on the Friday night just before the Labor Day Long Weekend. On the evening of October 2nd (after our last club tournament of the year) I finally had to unhook my boat from the truck. It was a sad realization that my vacation was over however I sure did store a bunch of great memories in-between that will be fun to recollect here. As usual, I learned or re-learned a bunch that made me a better fisherman – and I hope that passing on those tips will help you as well. For this lengthy blog-style report - grab a coffee, sit back and relax while I highlight my 22 days on the water fishing eight different lakes … three of which were new and four that were during tournaments.
