 And not too long before guys are getting their hunting gear in order, hitting ranges, etc. Just a good time of year for outdoors. The options seem to spread the crowds.

I got up early yesterday and sighted in my deer rifles, had the whole club to myself. 

I'm up for a Pymie trip.  Hopefully after the sports schedules die down a bit.  Seasons just started and I am about ready for them to be done...
 
The fall is probably the best outdoor opportunities of the year for so many things.  I prefer spring, because I can't stand winter peeking its head in, but I do think fall has more to offer.
 
Throw in football on weekends, school and whatever other activities that are keeping guys with kids busy.  I don't worry too much about the heroes that feel the need to plaster videos of their catches on smaller bodies of water in the fall or even spring.  Mid summer, is much more of an issue with so many guys able to get out.  Add 80+ degree water that turns those fish belly up an hour after being released.

Exactly!! Alas, some can't help themselves. 🙄😆

Not sure when they were doing, but water temp was low/mid 70’s last Sunday with that cold front that passed through. Nights are getting chilly and cooling things down. I’m hoping to a range that they are doing fine after released. If they are being released... Which, yes, if you basically post a how to for everyone, not all are releasing. So, I get what your concern is. Unfortunately some people feel the need to be internet fishing show stars and either don’t realize or don’t care about the consequences.

Good timing, unless you were looking for company to shoot the chit with and not just lead! Buck fever will be spreading sooner than later. Thunderpoles posts on the archery thread almost has me thinking about it. That is some excellent dedication. I hope it pays off.

Just got back from a section of the lake. Car needed driven around the block, sitting too long. Saw no fishers or boats. Even with all the rain the lake is at its lowest point all year and dropping.
 

I've seen a marked change in fish attitudes in the last 2 weeks on Arthur. The fall bite might be early this year. And good grief the channel cats have been like locusts... You can't keep them off the hook.

Double post

Went out Sunday night. Water was 74 degress. Got a couple channel cats and Crappie. Not a lot of activity. Need a couple frosts.
 

Few more degrees and she'll be turning.
