Hi there, probably the location becomes very important in the autumn. I fish bass on the Grand RIver in a few spots (deep and shallow) between Glen Morris and Paris and I've been doing relatively well for a rookie in the last two years - but only until the middle of October. Nowadays I try a lot of baits - deep and shallow spinnerbaits, a tandem spinnerbait, 4-5 kinds of dropshotting, crankbaits - but it is like a dead river.
