How Deep Do Bass Go During The Fall Months? What is the deepest known depth for LgBass?
In the State of michigan
Not deep at all
I've caught them out to 30' but that was summer time. In fall they are usually from the outside weedline in.
Last weekend I caught them in 17 foot of water.
i usually fish 15-25 foot range with a blade this time of year, once the water temps hit the 40s and 30s. They can be at any depth though. Start looking around main basins and steep banks. basically, wherever they ice fish on your local lake.
In lakes of northern lower Michigan, I have caught bass in 40 ft of water. Great Lakes in water over 40ft. It's not uncommon to find fish deep, when temps drop or cold fronts pass through. Give softbaits a try, tubs on jigs or dropshots, worms on Carolina rig weedless .
