Lol... just wondering if the shorter day or when it gets cooler is what causes the change in the fish.

I think both and both are happening right now

it is the length of daylight available. I have observed big fish moving up uncharacteristically as days begin to get shorter. This happens even though water temps remained at mid-summer levels. The opposite happens in late winter/early spring. Fish move shallower even though the water temps have not warmed at all. After all folks, they are cold blooded.
