Fall fishing has begun here in New England. Morning lows in the 30s and daytime highs maybe reaching 60's. The water temperature has dropped significantly the past 5 days from 73 to 65 degrees. For most of the day Saturday the water temp was 62-63 degrees. I the waters I fish the fish have been in fall patterns and locations. They will be there until it ices up. The crankbait bite is really heating up.

 

Saturdays lunker on a jig. 6 lbs 10 oz

 

4 lbs 12 oz on a jig. The fish had a seemingly brand new rapala hanging from his mouth. Still wanted my jig though.

 

 

On sunday the jig bite died. The crankbait bite was really good, once I figure it out.

 

5 lbs 0 oz on weightless worm

 

5 lbs 10 oz on a crankbait. Got to bump the stump to get bit.

 

5 lbs 7 oz on a crankbait.

 

The fall bite is heating up. I will be fishing off shore isolate structure with a jig and crankbait until it ices over thick enough my boat cant break through.

Nice fish! Break out the lipless!
