OhioFisherman Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 Temps here in tropical Ohio are below 70 for the next few days, well below normal for this time of year here. Just guessing it is cooler up there, will the bite start early?

Just guessing it is cooler up there, will the bite start early? just got a notification on my phone, frost advisory for parry sound....here we go! ITS BLOODY AUGUST!!!!
OhioFisherman Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Posted August 31, 2017 LOL, we always tried to time our September trips to PAB to hit right after the first real cold spell, it seemed to signal the fish to feed, it was almost always mid to late September. This time of year here we are usually still dealing with the dog days of August.
jimmer Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 What bite???? LOL Frost warning in the Kawarthas also.
fishindevil Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 the fall bite for smallies has started already because of the cooler water temps and air temps in central Ontario.....I was fishing and it was 5 degrees last weekend in central Ontario with a few lakes in the 68 degree water temp and some as low as 64....the smallies are putting on the feed bag ,,,,,,, :clapping:
AKRISONER Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 i fished a tourny on pigeon last weekend and the friggin water was 68! I can honestly say that the pointe au baril area literally topped out at 70 degrees this year...unbelievable.
jimmer Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 I saw the results of those tournaments. It looks like other than the top teams most struggled to put anything decent in the boat. I had fished the lake on the Saturday and found it tough.
DJGeneral Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 my favourite time of the year for fishing! Fall fishing can be hit or miss well in this case it is for me since I don't got a boat anymore! lol
OhioFisherman Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Posted August 31, 2017 October used to be a good month for me smallie fishing on Lake Erie, getting good enough weather and finding them could be a problem.

I had fished the lake on the Saturday and found it tough. link to those results? i was fishing the theona park tournament on saturday...winning bag was 13lbs, we finished fourth with 10.1 caught a lot of smallies but couldnt get size. We got one 4.6lber first thing in the morning but after that it was all dinks.
manitoubass2 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 We had frost 5 days ago. Feedbag is on but it's always on for bass this time of year. It'll be really good right up until the end of oct
tb4me Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 I was on the Trent river last week on holidays.. Water temps were 76 the first day.. dropped to 69 by the time I left.. Walleye were hitting tube jugs while bass fishing, and just about anything I could throw at them
Joeytier Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 5 degrees this morning, huge smallies chomping in 2-4 feet of water. It is shaping up to be an excellent September for lakers and brook trout to round off the season.

They have dropped the water levels already. 3 ft from what I can see. I,ll give the fall top water bass bite a go for a week, then it,s river time. Edited August 31, 2017 by Misfish
