Super User rippin-lips Posted October 29, 2013 Super User Posted October 29, 2013 Tough bite today. Just went from the bank but water was around 50 degrees. Managed 3 on a 1/2oz jig with rage craw trailer. This was the biggest. Went 3.14 on the scale. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted October 29, 2013 Super User Posted October 29, 2013 Nice fish you got 3 atleast you weren't skunked then it truly would have been a tough day Quote

I fished for about 6hrs though. Even threw the waders on for a bit but my legs got cold pretty quick. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 29, 2013 Global Moderator Posted October 29, 2013 This fall has been tough for me also. The hot fall bite just hasn't happened at all yet. At least you still got one quality bite. 2 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted October 29, 2013 Super User Posted October 29, 2013 If you didn't get skunked then you did good. Nice looking bass! Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Tough day but it was rewarded with a nice fish. Congrats. Quote

I'm not sure what's been going on. Fall is usually my most productive time of the year. Oh well. I have a theory on why it's been so bad. We had a really cold spring and the result was the shad spawned way later than usual. In all the lakes I'm fishing the shad are still tiny (around 1-2 inches long) and way more plentiful than normal because the fish haven't had all summer to eat away at them. The end result is an overabundance of food while the fishes need for food is going away as the water temps are cooling off. I can't prove it but it makes me feel a little better about my lack of productivity. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted October 30, 2013 Author Super User Posted October 30, 2013 ^^^ makes sense. Went back today. Caught 2 on the jig within maybe 20 minutes and 1 on a kvd 1.5 not long after. Then 2hrs with not even a nibble. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted November 1, 2013 Super User Posted November 1, 2013 yes its been a tough fall bite!! to say the least........... Quote
