Featured Replies

Well I dont know how long fall is gonna be since we just had some hail this morning and tomorrow we are supposed to get light snow, but for now, I was wondering if panfishing is productive this time of the year, and if so, can i have some tips?

live crawlers, corn, dough...UL set up 2-4lb test smallest live bait style hook you can find

I've never tried fall panfishing but in general you can try 10# Power Pro, on an UL setup.

I would suggest using Crappie jigs on a 1/8 oz. Chartreuse Jighead.

Small soft plastics dropshotted should work too.

In late fall if the pond or lake has turned already:

 I like to use a 6'6" Cableas Classic UL with a Cabela UL reel.

4# test line

#10 or #12 hooks

I avoid dead or dying weeds, if it's a warm day you may find some shallow, but I look for deeper holes especially with rocks etc.

I use small crawlers or red garden worms

If I use a bobber, I use the smallest slip bobber I can get away with and maybe the smallest spilt shot. I prefer no shot as I get bigger gillies when the worm falls slowly

Cold water gillie fillets are tasty!

Like Muddy said, fish around rocks or any hard structure. I usually look for them around shallow drop-offs, when they're in schools.

Another top-producer I forgot mention was bread, first I like to chum the area, then whack em'.  ;)
