Dutch01 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) It happens every year. I know it's early yet for my favorite shore spot. It's probably two or three weeks away from catching fire. Every year I resolve to wait until October. And then I feel it. It reminds me of quitting smoking, which I did two weeks ago now. I think "I'm fine, I can do this". And then I feel it. "I can catch up on stuff around the house". I tell myself. Today I thought "It's going to be cold tonight, the fish will be off". And that might be true. But still I feel it. The pull took me up there last weekend and I was rewarded with a chunky largemouth and a 21" walleye. Not bad for being two weeks early. I can't post pics because they'll identify my spot and then you'll feel the pull too. If you don't already. I always call my buddies and round up the gang. On Monday. "Are you fishing this weekend?". "Dude, it's Monday!". Sometimes I wonder if they feel the pull like I do. It's a rare day when no one comes out so I don't get out alone very often. Perhaps because of that it feels like a rare treat when I do. I didn't call anyone this week. I decided to go alone. I'd have the cold and the coyotes all to myself. And then my phone rings this morning. "Hey, are you going tonight?". A smile creeps across my face. Yup, they feel it too. Thanks for reading my ramblings.

musky666 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Felt it yesterday morning as I walked into work- drizzle on my face, overcast skies. I took next Wed/Thurs/Fri off and booked the lodge near North Bay- heading back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I know that feeling too well Dutch! I consider myself very lucky to have 2 wicked shore spots in my backyard. Because sometimes that "pull" comes when im very busy, and because of these spots, I can still get out for an hour or two. Heck sometimes ill go all day, or 4 times a day. This time of year is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch01 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 give it 4 weeks and it will be "on" so to say I definitely can't wait four weeks! I'll die! It's my Son's birthday next weekend so I won't be getting out. After that I'm going hardcore until close on Nov 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.brock Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I just fished my balls off on a hardcore trip all last week. Even so, while watching the sun set while at work last evening I could feel "the pull" and it was strong. "The pull" is relentless, especially in autumn, an awesome time of the year.

Dutch01 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'll likely be there Saturday night too. However, I still think it is a week or two early. We'll see if the cooler temps this week turn on the bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
