Of all the months in the yearly fishing calendar , September is rightfully regarded as one of the most challenging for catching bass across the United States . “ Harvest month ” is awkwardly positioned between the summer doldrums and the cooling weather of fall , and as a result , bass fishing can be brutal .
However , September provides some stellar fishing in certain regions of the country . In unique fisheries where the water has already begun to cool , the schooling bite can lead to nearly nonstop action .
The following fisheries are proven September producers ( and they ’ ll fish well into the fall , too ). Some are traditional tournament venues that don ’ t get much attention outside of spring / early summer . A handful of them have flown under the radar for years , either because of their remoteness or because they ’ re hiding in plain sight . But all of them are worth a look if you ’ re seeking a good September bite .
