Lake Scugog Sunday

[MCTFisher9120]

I am going yet again to do shore fishing on Lake Scugog. I have one rod set up with a bass jig that has been the most productive bait so far this fall, but i have my 6'6 medium action spinning setup that needs to have something tied to it. I know next to nothing about fall patterns and working lures and soft plastics. The areas i fish use to be extremely weedy but now many of these weeds have died off. My only ideas is to use a texas rigged yum creature bait (blue) with a slip sinker. Thanks for any help

It isn't complicated, but the good ole minnow under a bobber has worked wonders for me fishing from shore on Scugog for fall bass.

Spinnerbaits, spinnerbaits, spinnerbaits.

 

Oh, don't forget the spinnerbaits.

jig and pig

 

target the scugog river where the banks cut into deeper water

 

target the dying wild rice (they are piled up in there)

 

the gravel shoals around ball point and birch island and the sand flats just east of there (spinnerbaits, swimbaits)

 

any rock at all as long as there is sun sort of sunlight to warm it up

 

the south end by pine point (throw buzzbaits and topwater) they are pounding them once again right now

 

yes the water is 51 degres but the bite is on huge right now, the fish seem to be real shallow following all the shiners

 

25 to 30 fish days right now on the bog are not that hard right now

Slow retrieve is the key!

I am officially prepared for the weather, i got myself a nice new rain suit and a pair of rubber boots. Now let's hope i can catch some fish out there tomorrow morning!

 

Thanks for the tips,
