Took the family out today with a bucket of minnows, it didnt take long before we had action. Mostly small fish but we got a couple keepers, I managed to land a 20-21in pike. We went threw 2 dozen minnows, and I just so happened to bring my jig rod with me, I had found one last blk-blue rage craw. First cast to a rockpile I pull this big girl out. Next cast I pull out this one. Big one was 19 inchs 3.5+ im guessing. This is my personal best ever smallie, I was siked, lol!

nice!!

im having a great fall, weathers been amazing and the fishing is the same. So far have caught several 3lb smallies, largies, big pike and a few great walleye. Still havent caught my 4lb smallie or 5lb large... soon hopefully

Congrats on that smallie! Must have fought like the devil! Wish I could try out that water......last few days have been yukky for me. Even the crappies turned up their noses 

nice fish man... and yea ive been having some good days!! congrats on your fish

Its been bit or miss for me, but the days there hitting they're hitting hard and frequently so I guess I'll chalk it up to mostly good!

Been having good days so far with at leastt 10 bass a trip and afew banner days with 30-40 fish. to put the icing on the cake a lot of topwater action

OH YEAH... LOOK FOR SOME HOGS,,,

Nice smallies! Been hit or miss for me. I miss the saltwater calico bite that's for sure.

Fall is in full swing up here in the north country. It's been a good one for big largies

I caught my first buzzbait fish on my 3rd cast the other morning. A 5 lb Largie.

As a first timer I'm not doing to bad without a boat.

The fall bite in North Florida is on. 13 fish in 2 days. I get out of class on Wed at 10am so I'm going to get back on the water for the remainder of the day. 80's during the day and 60's at night is getting the bass up!

 

 

beast smallies homie

i had a lot of luck, i've caught at least 15+ of 20-22" bass so far

Its been horrible for me so far. Pretty much all lakes about 1.5 hr or less away are closed due to the government shutdown, so I haven't even gotten the chance to get out there haha.

They're still really scattered out around here right now, a lot of junk fishing and catching fish on a little bit of everything. Wednesday and Thursday is Monster Quest days for kanasbassfisher08 and I. We'll be making a long drive to the SE corner of the state to fish a deep, clear strip pit that's stocked with 8-12 inch trout biweekly that grows some monster bass, for Kansas anyways. Not really looking to catch a bunch, just wanting to stick a monster!

This entire year just not the fall has been as bad as I can remember.  What little bass fishing I'm doing now has been terrible, and the saltwater bite stinks.  About every commercial or charter fisherman I know is ready to file bankruptcy, lol, not really but they are hurting.  Don't cry for me I'm still catching fish, but the size and numbers are no where near what is normal.

I haven't been out too much this fall because of work and family, but this whole year has been one of the worst.  Of all the times I have been out this year, I have been skunked probably 50% of the time.

The reports your giving sounds hit and miss. Either were clobberin them or notta. Thanks for the comments and hopefully yhe fishing turns good for the notta's. Seems like to me theyve be on structure lately. I got those 2 from an homemade broken down since 90's boathouse. Theres alot of rocks and wood on this spot. The smallie I got last week that is in my profile pic I got that from this spot also.

My 'home' pond has been very slow since August.  I've been trying T-rigged worms, Senkos, spinner baits, and crank baits with little luck, especially the last 3 weeks.  

 

There isn't a lot in the way of structure, but there are some 'hills' with weed beds in the deeper sections.  Shore access is 360 degrees.  This is the first fall at this pond for me so I'm still looking for them.

 

BTW Spring and early Summer were very good, so I'm at a little bit of a loss.

yup just got skunked at other honey hole

Lots of small fish, wish I could find a bunch more like this!

Got our end of the year 2 day classic and a bunch of these would make it all good!!

Wow thats a hawg. Did it eat a football?

Thanks, quite the stout little girl!!

Too cold, too fast, too long, water temp.is 46 degrees and fishing is S-L-O-W

Define fall? We aint got much of that

Fishing is great when I can go, last trip to the Big Pond produced 37 bass with 7 around 6#, all on Texas Rigs & deep structure.
