Wilhelm fall bass?

jf, i don't fish wilhelm, but do fish pymy and mosquito in the fall. simply, we use floating rapalas and small, shallow-diving shadraps on points and off of islands and do pretty well. with us, hard bottoms produce better.

Wind dominated me when I was out on tuesday, Managed a few fish, but nothing solid. Fished all around ramp 3, up to rt 79 with only 1 fish to show for it. Fished the old roadbed near causeway, caught a couple, but wind was killing my battery.

I went down to ramp 4 and fished the entire area near there without a bite. Overall, very disappointing day. Hope to get back out there sat. afternoon. Lake goes off-limits monday for my club's championship. I REALLY need to figure something out sat....wish me luck

After this week, I'll spend the rest of my season chasing smallies on shenango....they are starting to feed good right now and will be active until there is too much ice on lake to take my boat out! I'm headed to wilhelm tomorrow afternoon/evening. Gonna try near the dam, never been down on that end before. I usually stay near ramp 3 or the stumps. I'll let ya know how I do.

How was shenango?? I launched out of ramp 1 near the dam, and don't think I'll spend any time there again. I'm gonna try to get out one last time and try the upper end of wilhelm. I fishw/ an electric only club, so whatever ramp we start with, we are commited to that area. Ramp 3 looks or the ramp at the logboom is prob. where I'm gonna launch out of.

The smallies should be starting to turn on on shenango. I plan on spending some time there next week during the week. Heard there was a tourney on sunday on wilhelm and it took over 16lbs to win, there was also supposedly a 15# and 14.5# bag. I can't buy a bite. Rumor has it they were fishing lower end of lake near dam, but I don't have any spots or confidence there...so I'm hoping the weeds are too dead out of 3 and near upper end. Wish me luck! If you see a Blue Gambler bassboat on shenango, stop by and say hello.
