hotsky Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) I haven't had much luck since Thanksgiving weekend when I got 4 bass on the Grand, other than my first and only chinook I haven't caught anything since. Got skunked at Mountsberg, Harbour and Grand river on total of 6 or 7 outing. At the Grand I would have small fish practically bouncing off my lure and last few times I was lucky if I get one hit, also always had decent luck at the Mountsberg but last two times nothing! not even a bite. Is this the change in weather or I'm just having a bad streak? I thought fish esp pike become more active when it gets a little colder but couple of other people mentioned having better luck with pike in the summer. Sorry for all the questions but I only started fishing in May so this is my fist fall fishing. Edited October 26, 2012 by Gray_Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've been finding it tough for bass too, you really have to slow down this time of year and maybe upscale a little bit, but they are there. Just find warm rocks or green weeds and you'll find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke V. Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 On days when it's nice and sunny look for bass to be shallow. (Their sun tanning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Nope, not less fish. Time to change tactics. Go deeper, slower presentations, live bait where allowed, and fish structure.They are there, just not where they used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan668 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Killing the bass with squarebills and lipless cranks. Spinnerbaits being a close second. Shallow and deep, seem to be scattetered all over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotsky Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks will keep that in mind. Does that apply to pike as well? Wonder why the fish go deeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Warmer, following baitfish, more green weeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhickey Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I have always had good results working drop offs and structure wheather it be logs /weeds or rocks a slow presentation of live bait or somthing that closely resembles live bait is a good way to start you will be suprised at what comes up. Keep it simple and dont be afraid to take a chance on lighter line and tackle but the hook set can get frustrating at times. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
