Super User NHBull Posted September 6, 2019 Super User Posted September 6, 2019 After a few very slow weeks, all seams back to normal. Heavy winds have scattered the fish and today is the 3rd day with a constant and same direction wind. On a whim, I moved off the structure and hit the windward banks and pulled a dozen 2 1/2- 3.75 in an hour. Sadly back to work for 10:00 17 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted September 6, 2019 Super User Posted September 6, 2019 Nicely Done - I'm still waiting for the switch here. Not very patiently I might add . . . Congrats A-Jay 1 1 Quote
Super User Sam Posted September 6, 2019 Super User Posted September 6, 2019 With the temperatures starting to fall the bass will start to feed for the winter. Be patient and wait. Sooner or later they will be biting. 1 Quote

Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted September 6, 2019 Super User Posted September 6, 2019 Switch is off here too favorite lake had algae bloom ruined the visibility and the bite for over a month now. July was fantastic then click shutdown. Went by lake and starting to clear again. 2 Quote
J.Vincent Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 We are still waiting for the complete Summer to Fall transition here....and I'm thinking September 10th through October 10th the Smallmouth Bass bite will be bananas ! At least it was last season around that time! Nice catch by the way ! Quote
Krisluvfish Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 I've spent my time practicing casting and tieing knots faster. LOL! Quote
Wizzlebiz Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Northern California here and the transition has begun here as well. It exciting! Quote
The Bassman Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Maybe it's just me but something about the late Aug./mid Sept. period always seems tough. It's usually very calm. I refer to it as the doldrums after the situation old time mariners faced when they couldn't make any progress. Did manage several today but none over 15". Waiting for that first real cold front. They're predicting temps near 90 this week. Seems Sept. has been an extension of summer in recent years. Good job Bull. Would love to experience New England. 1 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted September 8, 2019 Super User Posted September 8, 2019 6 hours hurling an A-Rig all over Lake Menderchuck today ~ Hand full of Pike to show for it - Back at it again after the rain blows through on Wednesday. Gotta do it - The reward is too good ! A-Jay 1 Quote
Harold Scoggins Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Come down here and turn our switch on! Water temps this morning (3 am) were 83-84 and the bite was slow. The hunter (Orion) popped above the horizon last night and I heard my first bull elk bugle as I was leaving the lake, so I know cooler temps are coming. Raining coming Friday, maybe that will turn our switch on. Quote
TriStateBassin106 Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Haven't fished since sunday here in NJ, but I would imagine that the switch is in effect here sooner or later. Bite shutdown for most of us here once mid August came around. Quote
