Default Bass in October

Pick up a spinning rod or a baitcasting rod. You are asking for trouble with a flyrod in your hand. As the water cools a bass is less likely to come up for topwaters or flies. You are better off fishing a spinnerbait or a suspending jerkbait as fast as you can over 12-20' of water. As October starts to fade away and water temps fall below 50*, move out to humps and dropoffs and fish blade baits like silver buddies and hedon sonars and a drop shot. Drop them almost vertically down to 20'+ and shake and pop off the bottom. The hit almost always comes as the bait if falling back down.
