This is the last week of warm weather but the water temp where I fish is already in low 50s.. fish are biting slow it's getting to cold to fish , at least for me.. and the weatherman called for 1/4 inch of snow at night next week.. soon it will be only memories and dreams of catching fish as I don't ice fish, can't wait till spring already. For some of you down south this is one of the best times of year so I'm jealous ! Keep on catching those fish and giving good stories so I have something to pass the time. Well, with temperatures still in low 80s down here, fishing is ok. Its supposed to get down to the low 50s Tuesday night so we'll how that goes 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted October 21, 2017 Super User Posted October 21, 2017 It's just starting to cool off here. Next week highs in the 60's and 70's. Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted October 21, 2017 Super User Posted October 21, 2017 Don’t give up yet! Take it from a fellow NYer, there are still fish to be caught. Went out today when the air temperature was in the mid 30s and the water temp wasn’t even 50 degrees and I still had a good day. They were hitting jigs, spinnerbaits, and guess what? I even caught a half dozen on top water. Get some cold weather gear, and keep fishing! If you can tolerate the cold, there is still fishing to be done! I won’t stop for the year until my first skunk, which I haven’t even sniffed in the last few weeks. 1 Quote

Until then, there will often be that one fish. 2 Quote

River2Sea really needs to put a warning label on the Whopper Plopper for the haters. Warning: Despite the price, this isn't a magical lure that is guaranteed to catch a DD. This lure may not even catch a fish on some occasions. Magic isn't real. Stop complaining. 1 Quote

For me the whopper plopper is a big fish catcher ! I reember during summer strying off in the morning catching like 10-15 in 90 minutes or so.. also my very first pike was on the loon 130.. that was a badass topwater hit ! Oh and another warning label bc of how sticky those treble hooks are! Quote

For me, the whopper plopper lets you know really quick whether the bass are willing to chase are not. If they are in a shy or reclusive mood, it won't get a sniff. However, if they are the least bit active, they seem to hammer it. Last Saturday was an active day for me,at least for the first 90 minutes of the morning. I even had a 13lb channel catfish do his "Jaws" imitation, getting to the surface and chasing down the whopper plopper 90 like a shark running down a swimmer. It was the first time I had ever caught a channel catfish on a surface lure. 1 Quote
