Bass will stay in a general location, they move up and down, right now the top temps may be cooler than the temps below, I dont think we have had a turn over in the lakes yet.
Where you would find bass in mid to late summer is where you will find them now, only they will be moving much slower than summer.
in small ponds they cruse the whole pond.
Where I think your problem is, It may be your presentation. The common mistake is going to fast with your lures, slow it down a bit, if you have to go to smaller crank baits to go slower thats ok. Try a small rooster tail or go to a minimal weighted soft plastic.
Live bass minnows and shiners under a bobber workes real well this time of year.
near the drop offs and near standing weed beds is where you will find your "lmb's"
I dont see to many of them around the boat docks this time of year, mostly because they went down to deaper waters to cool off at the end of the summer and now the top waters are cold they want to stay in the wormer water..
you can also target them near boat launches and cannals this time of year.. people bringing in thier boats have stured up the bottom making available a smorgesboard for bait fish,, and bass love bait fish....[cool]
