In reality, he explains, bass don't prepare for bear-like hibernation by strapping on the feedbag. First, they don't hibernate---let alone conciously gorge themselves to prepare.

Second, bass become more active in fall in reaction to summer's tepid water temps. cooling into the fishes optimum range of 75 to 80 degrees. As fall progresses, shad and other baitfish in many systems often gather in shallow coves, rise into flats and move into choke points connecting knee-deep, weedy backwaters with deeper water. Bass follow, and the ensuing feeding spree---easy for anglers to spot and target---makes for fine fishing.

So what do you guys think?
When first post and last post agree....gotta be the truth.
