Once the water temperatures begin to cool

Fish often become easier to locate with electronics when they begin to locate in deeper water. Once walleyes begin to school more tightly in the fall, anglers have a better chance to locate a decent sized pod of walleyes to fish if they are looking in the right areas in the lakes.
There are a few characteristics anglers should be looking for late in the season, regardless of the species of fish they are trying to locate.
Once the water temperatures begin to cool in the fall, most species of fish want to stay close to their food. A spot can have all of the positive characteristics of an area that should be good to fish, but if there are no baitfish and nothing else for fish to eat there, the walleyes and other predator species likely won't be there either.
Perch, crappies and sunfish may be looking for insect larvae, crayfish, minnows or other smaller forage when they choose where they want to be located in the fall.
