Wild Thing, We never fish "weeds". Right or wrong what we look for this time of year is current.

[Eastwind]

I'll second the vote for current as we head in to Fall fishing patterns.

[Shorelunch]

We fished Friday thru Sunday. Friday, we fished points and reefs around the Sunset channel area and did good. We trolled spinners with crawlers and minnows. Kept some decent eaters - but no big ladies.

Saturday, headed up to Miles Bay. Pea soup. Fished reefs and points and did nothing. One nice smallie that would have won big fish at the bass tourney. Also gave Burrows a pass and not much there.

Sunday, we fished East. Fished points, islands, reefs and weed lines. Did well on the last spot, which had a weed flat that dropped off. Fish were stacked nice.

Back up Friday.

Wow,

All the 'old timers" are weighing in for me!!

Okay then, how do you "look' for current? You mean the necked down areas where they flow of the lake goes through (southeast to northwest usually, right?) or do you mean wind-driven current between land?

I think I know what you mean. We've had some phenomenal luck in late september in a narrows kind of north and east that I think most people know about.

But it never seems as consistent or easy as summer or winter when they are on the reefs!

Thanks guys, god to see y'all fishing and posting again!

W.T.

My favorite Fall (mid October) spot is well North and West of Morson. It is also a well known narrows that many people know about. There are a lot of good spots that are between Morson and the narrows I am refering to so we run out as far as we are going to go first thing in the morning, fish my favorite narrows for 'Eyes, make a 1/2 hour pass along the shoreline to the West trolling Muskies then fish our way back to Morson for 'Eyes. I look for "Cuts" between islands with decent depth for my current areas. We'll even work some shorelines just out (down stream) from the cuts if the shore drops off nicely. I also fish a lot of points that drop off quickly. I like deep water (18' to 30') in the Fall. Jigs and minnows work well as do Nothland Mimic Minnows. Now ya got me all whipped up thinking about my trip coming up on October 8th thru 12th. Way to go, eh?
