Fall Fishing Tips for Cooler Weather

Is fishing one of your favorite ways to relax?

You don’t have to stop fishing just because the weather is starting to get cooler!

As the leaves change color and the air gets chilly, you can take full advantage of some great fishing weather.

Here’s our tips for great fall fishing:

1. Pay attention to migration patterns in your area: As fall hits, baitfish are on the move, and their predators will follow. Follow those patterns and you’re sure to get a bite.
2. Watch for birds: Gulls, terns, and other birds will be looking for schools of batfish, so if you see them swooping and diving, it’s a sure sign that you’re in the right spot.
3. Look for fish in deep, cold spots: As the temperature of the water drops in most bodies of water, fish will be on the move looking for favorable conditions. Look for areas where they have easy access to both shallow and deep waters throughout the day, and you’ll likely hit the fishing jackpot.

Get the Perfect Dock with Our Dock Design Tool

Planning your new boat dock design?

Before shopping, make sure you take the type to plan your dock design. Consider materials like wood, composite, or aluminum dock sections.

Other factors to keep in mind are:

• Location of your dock (will it be in the full sun, or shade?)
• Depth of water around the dock (do you need a railing?)
• Any local town or municipal coding requirements or permits needed
• Average number of boats that will be anchored to the dock
• What size is your dock?

Getting the size of your dock can be frustrating if you must measure several times, but you’re in luck! We’ve got our own dock design tool that you can use to get a quote!

Replace Your Wooden Dock with Studier Aluminum Sections

Did you know you can replace an old wood decking section with anodized aluminum decking?

Wood is good looking and traditional, but it is also subject to insect damage, water damage, and rot. If you have some slippery wood panels past their prime, call us at Alumi-Span to see how to upgrade to long-lasting, low-maintenance aluminum.

Our aluminum boat docks are built to last the test of time. We manufacture all our dock sections and accessories in-house, so you can trust the quality of every piece of your dock, from the footings all the way to the sections themselves.

Aluminum Docks Withstand the Elements

Are you looking for a boat dock that can withstand the elements?

Do you need a boat dock that can provide years of fun and function for your family?

Even low-maintenance aluminum docks need some attention. Make a spring inspection part of your routine. Look at welds and seams. Check for level and make sure the foundation is solid. Check for missing bolts or caps and replace with factory parts from Alumi-Span. Spring is also a good time to make any improvements for safety and comfort. It’s easy to add a ladder or kayak rack to an aluminum system. If you use your dock for fishing, maybe invest in polywood benches or chairs. Enjoy a worry-free season on the lake with your Alumi-Span dock.
