[steverowbotham]

Okay, so its been a while since I've posted and I really dont remember where I left off. I havent fished nearly as much in the latter half of the summer months, though I have been out a bit.

 

As I said, its been a while, and I havent taken many photos, but I'll share what I have and if you have any questions, ask away...

 

fattest largie I've ever caught

 

Client with a smallie that just missed the 6 lbs mark at 5-15

 

Clients with a funny double header

 

Gloucester Pool 2nd place

 

Really tough day on Simcoe, but it was tough for everyone

 

Barrie Bassmasters Classic, 2nd place

Voted to make it a winner takes-all tournament and lost it by 0.15 lbs uggghhh

 

I've got more photos to load, but here's what I have for now...

 

Also, finally finished by bass fishing tattoo

 

Thanks for reading

Some nice stuff there Steve. I have a question on late summer/fall transitions for bass on Simcoe. What is it that begins to make the fish move from 8-12 feet around weedlines out to suspend in 20-30 fow, and then to eventually sit on the bottom in 30-50 fow when it gets really cold? Are they following baitfish, or changing feeding patterns or what?

 

I'm beginning to learn what they do, I just don't know why they do it...glad for anyone's input.

 

Thanks!

 

Tatoo looks...ah, painful

I dont have an answer to that, though i would assume its a combination of food source and ideal temperature
