Fishing at the end of October?

[Dialer]

Contemplating taking my kayak out tomorrow to either Sweetwater creek State Park or Dog River reservoir to try to catch something, either bass, crappie, or bream. Am I wasting my time? Thanks!

I fish 12 months a year

Anytime you get a chance to fish isn’t a waste of time in my book

I try to fish a lot in my kayak using artificial baits (rubber worms, lizards, top water, buzzbaits, rattletrap) in all the great looking places, but never even get a nibble....just a little frustrating is all, still enjoy it.

Check out flukemaster on YouTube - he’ll have you catching them in no time

Arrived at Sweetwater State Park around noon. Once in the kayak, wind picked up and wore me out...not much time to fish. Did get one small bream off a quick toss of a white rooster tail....Two beautiful bald eagles soaring overhead made the whole trip worth it!

Cold fronts passing thru and high pressure has the fish in a funk. Water temps are dropping and turnover has begun. It's a tough time to catch fish. I'd slow down with a jig. Hold off on topwater and moving baits until weather is more stable.

Never a bad day fishing !

Caught 3 at Salacoa yesterday which was the last day they are open this year. One on a black/yellow squarebill and other 2 on Texas rig green pumpkin red U tail worm. Water temp was 64 degrees.

I personally don’t get serious till temps start dropping and the fall/winter crappie bite starts getting hot! Can’t tell you the times I’ve broken ice with my boat.

Once the cold settles in, things will acclimate and it’s one of the best times to catch big bass. I definitely fish slower till Feb.
