    - Once on the lake look for bait fish on the graph and any signs of birds diving on shad.
    - Shad will start to move into the creeks. You might have to search several creeks, it's worth the wait.
    - Bass feed heavily in fall.
    - Bass return to the shallows to feed in early fall.
    - Bass move to deeper water in late fall.
    - Bass will school together more often.
    - In their fall feeding mode, bass will move shallow again until the water hits about 50 degrees.
    - If the water temp is below 60, fish rocks. They hold heat and warm the water around them.
    - Cooler temperatures allow bass to become more active.
    - Electronics, electronics, electronics! Bass will school just about anywhere. When you find them, hold on!
    - "Match the hatch" as best as you can.
    - If you see dying vegetation, fish deeper.
    - Fish on the points of main creeks.
    - Keep your color selection more natural (Shad/crawdad color). Bass' eye sight gets better with cooler
       temperatures.
    - The greener the vegetation, the better.
    - By far the best time of year to catch a lot of bass.
