Welcome back Carefree boaters and happy October! After a few long summer months full of high temperatures, watersports, and fun in the sun, it is officially time to wind down and settle into cooler weather. Don’t get us wrong, as avid boaters and lake lovers, we love summer and all it has to offer us, but there is just something undeniably special about October. Now, the water reflects arrays of golden, red, and brown foliage rather than sunburns, and the crisp morning air brings about a calmness that you just can’t find in July. For members of the Carefree Boat Club of Tennessee, October is about more than slow morning and fall colors—it’s about reeling in cooler weather catches and savoring the simple pleasure of cozying up by the water with loved ones and a cup of hot cider!
October on the lake is a season all on its own. Ask any angler and they will tell you: fall is one of the best times to fish in Tennessee. As lake temperatures drop, species like largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish become more active, feeding heavily before winter sets in. October mornings are particularly successful fishing times, the water is still and quiet, but the afternoons may be just as productive, especially when the sun heats the surface of the water and the fish are on the move. Our members consider fall the hidden gem of fishing, as they no longer have to battle for the best spots to set up, and the stillness of the lake makes it easy to spot even the smallest tug on their lines. Fall may be the perfect time to get your little ones set up with their very own poles. Shop our favorite kid-friendly option!
Of course, October isn’t just about fishing. It’s also about slowing down to appreciate all that nature has to offer. Fall often brings about a busy season of school sports, homework, work deadlines, and social commitments. The lake provides the perfect counterbalance, a chance to unplug from the constant hustle and find stillness on the water. It’s those slower moments, taking in the beauty around us, that we get to enjoy the quiet that is so rare this time of year.
At Carefree Boat Club of Tennessee, it is our mission to take care of every little detail while you have the fun. One of the biggest reasons why our members love being a part of the club is the access they have to boating during any season. For many, fall boating means boat ownership. And owning a boat in the fall means storage, prep, and maintenance. With Carefree Boat Club of Tennessee, we take that off your plate, handling every hassle of boat ownership and leaving the fun to you. This October, join us on the water, you’ll find that fall boating and fall relaxation go hand in hand.
As always, don’t forget to tag us in your photos for a chance to be featured on our social media pages! Check out our Instagram and Facebook to see how our members are making the most of their October!
