Super User A-Jay Posted September 17, 2009 Super User Posted September 17, 2009 The morning started out fairly seasonal with air temps at a brisk 37 degrees. As the day progressed the temps warmed up and so did the bite. The smb were on a white on white double willow spinner bait burned at top speed. I love the strike on these - it almost rips the rod from your hand. By mid-afternoon a football jig dragged near the drop offs was the ticket. And when we found some wood near the drop there was usually a few fish eager to suck in the bait. After bouncing off a stack of dead wood in 12 feet of crystal clear water, this sweetheart gulped down my jig and made like a rocket by heading for the sky ! You gotta love fall fishing ~ A-Jay Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted September 18, 2009 Super User Posted September 18, 2009 Nice smallie, water still a little warm here for the fall bite. But I am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Quote

Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted September 19, 2009 Super User Posted September 19, 2009 The late Summer/earlyFall bite has started to pick up here as well. The last three nights have been in the low to mid fourties, so the water temps will start dropping, and the smallie fishing will get even better. Falcon Quote
