At Jordan Lake, southwest of Raleigh, N.C., the first half of September is likely to play out in typical, summertime fashion. However, the second half is subject to the first hints of fall, triggering schools of shad to bunch up and begin a movement towards the creeks — with revitalized crappie in hot pursuit. […]
September is a big month for transition in fishing along South Carolina’s coast. Most years, September feels pretty much like August to anglers, but the ocean waters are already cooling and bringing about changes in the feeding behaviors of the fish. […]
