I, like many of you who have been playing it silent, have been enjoying the bounty on the lower end of the lake. However, the water temps are dropping and things are bound to change. Judging by my success yesterday versus earlier in the week, yesterday may have been the key day in this shift. The way everyone bailed out of there yesterday leads me to believe my experience was not unique. Just checking to see what the thoughts are on the next move for the fish. Is it gonna be a mad rush way up the arms to the abundant bait? Are they gonna get back in the nearest creeks that are likewise bait heavy? Are our summer schools finally gone and the hunt for singles beginning? Cmon board, you’ve been asleep for months. Time to wake up.

they've been exploring Becky's the last couple weeks of cool weather instead of all just sitting down by the island. Praying they start headed up past the S curves here soon, there has been a good bit of bait up there already. I have not made my way down river towards BW so no knowledge there, ill be back this weekend or next to really go after em once the cool weather sets in if you want to link up to find em.

I am in the same boat as Mike my boat has been on the trailer for a couple months. Plan on getting it back in the water next weekend. Wyatt’s fag football season is over and he’s ready for the Mafia Series.

Not to sound bad, but what happened to the days when just going fishing was enough? Is it really all about catching something? Just curious. Not trying to be offensive to anyone either. I went a few weeks back and knew i wouldn’t catch anything, went anyway.

Not to sound bad, but what happened to the days when just going fishing was enough? Is it really all about catching something? Just curious. Not trying to be offensive to anyone either. I went a few weeks back and knew i wouldn’t catch anything, went anyway. I live 2 hours and 20 min from the lake with that alone, for me it's about catching something. Once I get there I have to put my boat in and rig it to fish, then I go on the hunt for bait. Sometimes bait isn't so hard to get other times it can be a real pain, but that is a choice I make because I love fishing with and catching live bait. Once the bait tank is full I am feeling a lot better. I then put a game plan together on how to catch fish, whatever the target fish may be. I always always always want to catch them. Don't get me wrong a day on the lake is much better than a day at work even if I don't catch anything, which happens for sure. An awesome sunrise or sunset, seeing the mountains in the fall is always worth the trip, but for me I don't ever go out thinking I may not catch anything.

I caught multiple nice stripers at R33 last week... Fish are moving, they obviously aren’t all the way at hardy yet, but they are making there way, haven’t seen huge numbers moving up yet, but this next week should push most of them.
