Tough Fall Fishing: When the Pond Turns Over

Faced with tough fall fishing conditions, murky “pea soup” water, and overgrown banks, I hit the pond on a warm October afternoon to see if the bass were still biting.

In this video, I break down what happens during pond turnover—why water temperature layers shift, churn up the bottom, and make fishing a real grind. Between line tangles, snags, and fighting the brush, it took plenty of patience to track down a bite on a swimbait.

Do you still fish your local spots during the fall turnover, or do you wait for the water to clear up? Let me know in the comments below!
