Well this has been a busy month for me and I have neglected to post any reports so here go's. The river level is still really low -.2 to be exact, making most of my fall water unaccessible. Refusing to give in I have spent a couple days in the river pushing the boat through the riffles and have had to repair holes in the boat twice in one week.( Quick fix for a fast leak (5" senko/ bleeding shad, shove in hole, re-assure client, keep fishing, catch 18+ smallie)

The warm front that came through a week and a half ago really screwed up the fish, not to mention a wall of mud from upstate that only lasted a day. They have stayed shallow, 2-4 and are keeping me on my toe's when it comes to bait selection, feels more like early spring than a fall feast. Jigs, jerks, cranks and  ,my new chatter baits have been on the menu lately with an occasional all day spinner bait bite for dessert.   Even with all the hurdles, we are still putting the footballs in the boat with numbers between 25 and 50 a day depending on the sun.

We finally got some water yesterday( 8 hrs in a down pour) resulting in a 1.5 foot predicted level by Monday. I'm looking forward to new areas opening up not to mention the fish moving to deep water, COME ON HEAVY JIG BITE!!  There's still plenty of fishing left, for anyone wanting to extend their season and help fight off the cold winter blues, I'm game if you are!! Here's some pics to wet your appetite, Go Phillies!!!

Nice fish and beautiful background scenery as well.  That must be a very scenic river to fish.
