Your fall techniques?

[Skunk City]

Though I'm a huge fisherman, I admit I've been a bit of a little girl in the passed in that I've pretty much stopped fishing when fall rolls around. Basically, I haven't had much luck after September rolled around the passed few years and have gotten discouraged...but I'm determined to change that this year.

Looking for some discussion on techniques once the waters cool and the fish switch into their fall/cooler temperature patterns. I'll be predominately fishing for largemouth/smallmouth bass, pike, and probably mix in some walleye and musky trips before things freeze....fishing either from my 10ft. kayak or a buddies 14' v-hull, both equipped with fish finders, which I am slowly learning to use.
