Yes i cant wait to see what fall is like on Lathem. Bet fishing is as good as scenery
Let's see some pics! Glad to know you got into a few. Sometimes it's like that where you've got to weed through the little hens to get a big boy. Having a bunch of action like that is always fun.Went today after bream, and managed to catch some big shellcrackers on crickets and redworms. Just ones and twoseys here and there, never found a real hotspot, but I kept 6 fat bulls for supper.
Maybe when it really starts cooling down they will start up on top water. AIn't cooling down this week, thats for sure. It was HOT. Lake is 83 degrees.
OTB, try a pearl white Fluke, or maybe a watermelon seed Zoom trick worm. Use a spinning rod with a fairly soft tip, light line(8lb or even 6lb), and maybe a weighted hook so you can really sling it out there a ways. Then experiment with your retrieves until something clicks. Start out painfully slow, and gradually add more speed and action. Check out the Wacky Rig, and it's cousin the Neko Rig as well, paired up with that same trick worm, or a fat worm like a Senko or Yum! Dinger in watermelon candy, or watermelon red.My son has caught bass off the shore there using live earthworms. We were there today up until 12:30. Bass laughed at my lures and my son caught bream, "large" bream using Martin's bread. Fancy stuff. Worked better than my overpriced lures that bass are supposed to love. I'm boatless at the moment so I'm stuck on the bank, hence the name.
I'll keep my eyes out for that brown NuCanoe, then. I'm riding a smoke grey Vibe Sea Ghost 130, paddle power only. There's another dude out there with a trolling motor on his. I'd say I'll be there early, but I never get there early. Maybe we'll cross paths.I'm your huckleberry.
Ah, Crap. Good luck tomorrow, be safe.Had to scrap my trip this morning and fix a dishwasher leak. Might get out in the rain tomorrow.
