Every fall season, there always seems to be a week or two of disruptive weather delaying fall turnover and the season’s entire progression.

On a trip day last season, while navigating my way around the thousand-acre lake, I was observant of my Lowrance HDS-12 Live C-Map and Navionics Charts. Up until that point, smallmouth and largemouth were not biting with much frequency and fervor for my customer and me.
