MCTFisher9120 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 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 Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auscanman Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skeeter99 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited October 24, 2008 by skeeter99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
