Cast Away This Fall With Fishing Gear From Sport Chalet

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As summer comes to an end and lakes and rivers are left behind by their summer occupants, fishermen gear up for fall fishing season. Whether it's planning a fishing excursion in the wilderness or catching a few at the local lake, anglers can head to Sport Chalet to stock up on all the gear and tips they need to ensure they're well equipped to reel in the big fish. 

"Fall is one of the best times to fish. The waters are calm and the temperature cools down, which makes it an ideal environment for fishing," said Sport Chalet Expert Chris Burston. "To help make the most out of the fall fishing season, Sport Chalet provides a wide variety of the best fishing gear available for all experience levels."

Burston recommends the following tips and gear for fishing enthusiasts looking to get out on the water this fall:

• Use the right rod. Selecting the right gear is key to having a successful day on the water. Using a lightweight rod, like the Shakespeare GX2 7'M 1pc Rod offers increased sensitivity and improved balance over heavier alternatives. Trying to catch the big one? The Abu Garcia Black Max Low Profile Baitcast Combo 7'MH pairs the benefits of a lightweight graphite frame with the durability of a medium heavy action rod.
• Keep things organized. Bass are a great fall catch, as they feed more as water temperatures cool off from their summer peaks. In the morning, bass are likely to be found at shallow to moderate depths before diving deeper during the day to avoid heat from sunlight. The Plano Lumbar Fishing Pack 3600 makes it easy to organize and carry tackle, allowing anglers to carry baits for different depths to maximize their catch.
• Stay warm on early mornings. Layers are key to staying comfortable throughout the day in fall's variable weather. A weather resistant shell like the Patagonia Houdini Jacket will keep anglers who battle the early morning chill dry and warm so they can focus on the fish. The lightweight design allows it to be stored compactly if the sun comes out in the afternoon.
• Don't forget sun protection.  Summer may have ended, but that doesn't mean it's time for sunscreen and sun protection gear to go into hibernation. UV rays are still strong enough to damage skin in the fall, especially for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. The Columbia Bora Bora II Booney Hat was designed specifically for serious fishermen with a drawcord and toggle to keep the sunhat from blowing away on a speed-boat ride.
• Remember to be patient.  Fishing veterans know that patience is key to catching fish. Packing snacks and drinks in a small cooler like the Igloo Marine Ultra 36 Can Console Cooler can go a long way in keeping the crew happy and entertained while they wait for fish to bite. Ultra-thick insulation keeps ice cold longer than traditional coolers, perfect for all-day fishing trips!
