Thank you much!

I'm guessing no real threat of it turning over until its in the mid 50s, unless we get some major wind.

Got out for a couple hours this evening.  First chance to get out in a while.  Got about 30 crappies, but only two big keepers.  All on minnies and slip bobbers.  Water temp was 68 degrees.  Hoping the big ones show up soon before hunting season starts.

Thanks Chris,
 
As a matter of fact, I did get my eight point on Tuesday.

Anyone got a current water temp?..

Any bass biting still?

I snatched up a cabin cancellation this past weekend, and was blessed with incredible weather. I didn't fish as much as I would have liked (fishing 24/7 isn't possible anyway). When I did make it out, we marked a ton of fish deep, but not many taking any offerings. Was able to get a few fish, so not a total skunk.

Right about sun rise, there were fish jumping everywhere for about 1/2 hour, all sorts of sizes. I wasn't able to get a good look at any, since it wasn't completely light out. I landed one of them, largemouth, but doubt they were all large mouth. Not much bait fish around that I could see. Wondering if they were just trying to enjoy the cooler surface temp from the night? Anyone happen to know what this could have been?

Surface temps - 62 in AM rising to about 66 in PM on main lake. We were marking fish all the way down to the deepest spots 30+FOW, so assume the water has mixed.

crappiefisher,

can you send me a pm? see you don't accept them. wanted to ask you a question about arthur.

Thanks Chris. Definitely not the same sound as the wiper spawn busting, but some were pretty good splashes. It was nuts for about 1/2 hour, then nothing... They weren't too interested in the arsenal of topwater lures that my Father in law and I were tossing. Kind of had me thinking they might be carp. We had the same thing happen one afternoon in the cove by the sailing base, but noticed they were carp after a while.

Hit the lake today. Trolled some Musky baits and fished with some shiners. No bites. Marked a ton of fish in deep water. Water was 61 degrees.Seen a few bass anglers working the shoreline with no success.Had to spend some time cleaning out the hole where the water pumps out. Mud daubers had it plugged again. Third time this year.

If you're over my way....stop in.

Should work now...

Talked to a guy on shore Thursday said it was gonna be like world war.3 at the lake tommorow....
For real....too much shrapnel to do some bass fishing up muddy creek tommorow am?

Anybody got a water temp.....
Was still in the low 60's up Muddy Creek when I was last there on 10/13...
Thanks....

Howdy All,

New here, and to fishing in general - have to young boys, age 10 and 12. Also have a 18' fiberglass canoe with 1.5hp 2-cycle motor. If we were to head out in late October/early November, what's the best setup to catch fish - not looking for catching big things, just wanting to keep young boys interested - thing like blue gill are fine, but what I don't want is them to be too bored - We would likely be doing a Sunday afternoon kinda thing. Any suggestions appreciated - details such as hook sizes, bait type, etc., appreciated.

Dave

Found a fishin' vest if anybody lost one PM me.
