Being pretty new to freshwater - this is my first fall after an amazing summer casting into just about every puddle across the mid-state.

I was able to develop some "sense" in the warm weather / water about where the SM/LM would be hanging out and what I should or shouldn't be throwing at any given time or day.

Now that the cool nights have moved in it's seriously knocked me off my game. For example - I fish the Harpeth a lot and I haven't been seeing any fish - let-alone catching them.

To top it all off the heavy rains from the other night seemed to completely blow everything out of sync.

I've been changing up my colors - going with more natural - tossing plastics, jigs, spinnerbaits, swim baits and shallow-divers around cover focusing more on the shallower spots rather than focusing on the deeper holes - but I'm striking out.

Is fall skinny-water really this bad when the temps go down or am I just on a bad streak? I see you guys on JPP catching dozens-o-dinks... so what's the secret?
