Bassnajr Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Heh all!! Just a comment and hopefullly some responses... What is up with the weather here in the northeast (the whole country for that matter)? I know about cold fronts, warm fronts, lunar tables and on and on, but what happens to bass and how do they react under these weather situations?? Cold one day, hot the next BROAD ranges of hot to cold weather AND water temps. Any ideas, comments,is it just the end of the world?? bassinajr Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I can live with it. Makes delivering packages a heck of alot nicer. ;D The last few weeks have been tough (for me) The jig bite has been slow (for me) and the name of the game has been dead sticking til you can't stand it any longer. I really enjoy power fishing, throwing a Rat L Trap or a spinner bait etc.... Went out today in Northern RI and put the smack down...the topwater bite was on early, then it switched over to a lipless crankbait kinda day. Burning a Yo Zuri Rattlin Vibe once the sun came up really turned up the heat. Wish I had tomorrow off! We ended up with 22 fish in 4 hours. My partner Rick caught 11 LM, and I caught 9 LM, 1 Pick, and a nice sized Perch... Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted October 21, 2007 Super User Posted October 21, 2007 Normally our water ways freeze over solid by the 2nd. week in Dec. here in MA. Last year we were fishing open water just about everywhere during the 2nd. week in JANUARY. Then, and only then did it freeze up. I love it! Here it is nearing the end of October and the water temp is still 64 degrees! ;D Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted October 21, 2007 Super User Posted October 21, 2007 I like it for being warmer...cause I get to fish more. But for hunting... let's just say at this rate the rut will start in mid Febuary. I went Muzzleloading this weekend. High Temp was 83 Quote
Mobydick Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I would agree with ya hookemdown, but just the other day my dad rattled in an 8 point. About now your huntin in a t-shirt! Had to drag a doe up over the moutain yeaterday, HOT!!! I was soaked till we got to the truck. The smallies around here are really hittin hard right after dark. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted October 21, 2007 BassResource.com Administrator Posted October 21, 2007 Out here, we went from summer straight to late fall almost over night! About a month ago, temps here plunged from the 90's to the 50's and raining in 1 week, and have stayed in the 50's ever since (sans a few days in the low 60's). Water temps are in the low 50's already - something you don't normally see until mid- to-late November. Already had our first storm of the year....again, another "November" event. Normally we get temps in the mid- to-upper 60's at this time of year. Screwy! ....it's going to be a long winter if this keeps up. :-/ Quote
A_Glenn_2 Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Still hot here in Georgia temps today were around 80 and water temp was 74. The bass havent started feeding yet to get fat for winter missed a nice large mouth this morning got him up to the boat and out comes my buzzbait for now on im going to sharpen my hooks Quote
Brian_Reeves Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Weather in iraq is finally cooling off...but not enough to convince the gods to let it rain enough to support a freshwater ecosystem, so i still haven't caught a bass since april. God I can't wait for this deployment to be over with lol Quote
Super User Raul Posted October 22, 2007 Super User Posted October 22, 2007 Well, I fished the glass for the most part of the day, an ocassional breeze that didn 't last for long, an ocassional cloud that covered the sun as a much welcomed relief from the blazing sunlight and heat from both air ( 85 ° ) & water ( 70° ), tough conditions ( no clouds, no wind, no shadow and 20 ft visibility water ( could have been more but it 's difficult to say with all that bottom covered with algae & weeds ), very tough bite also.

Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted October 22, 2007 Super User Posted October 22, 2007 Well, i'ts 72 degrees with a high of 76 for today. We better enjoy it because tomorrow temps are supposed to drop into the 50's and stay like that for the rest of the week. Now is when it gets ugly for me. The cold damp weather wreaks havoc on my metal riddled spine. Oh well, I'll enjoy my trip to Florida in February that much more. Falcon Quote
rondef Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I just look for schools of baitfish and watch the sonar on the boat for structure and fish. I am having no problems catching fish right now when I use the swim senkos once I find one the structure or bait fish. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted October 22, 2007 Super User Posted October 22, 2007 Its finally starting to cool down here, but we are about 10" below normal on the rainfall. Quote
