Fishing Report October 15 2008

With the upcoming cold front heading in our direction, figured I better get out there and give it a try as things may be a little different after the front passes. This was another beautiful fall day with air temps in the low 60’s and a light breeze blowing into the shoreline that I planned on fishing. Started at my usual last location and the sunfish were in the feeding mood and size was definitely there. Was fishing T.H.E. Jig under a float about 14 inches and fished mainly near any wood that was in the water. Objects in the water seemed to be a strong attractor today and there wasn’t any fish caught that wasn’t near the wood. These fish are still fairly aggressive and once you hit an area that they are occupying, it doesn’t take long to show you that they are there. Moved down the shoreline to another area that I frequent that is an opening in a tree that is hanging over the water. Same thing in this area as long as you were placing the bait near branches that were in the water there were a few fish hanging around. I was going to go back to the original place that I started but there were four Labradors that decided to take a swim there and chased the fish out of the area. The fall colors are coming into their peak in this area and when the sun is shining there is not a better view. With the cooler weather there weren’t any snakes hanging around the trees and that was fine by me. Hopefully I will be able to get out there again soon and catch a few as it is a great feeling to be able to catch fish in the fall and take full advantage of these remaining days as the hard water season is coming.
