I don’t know if it’s the many mornings of fog, or the more fall like temps, or the low water showing more snags, but, fishing has definitely picked up for me this past week. My usual fall deep water snags are starting to produce nice big crappie(about12-16 per trip), and I’m catching bigger bluegill on the river snags. Mind you, I’m also throwing back bunches of small gill but, I’m getting my limit and with school back in, the fishing pressure is much lower which is always nice. I’d rather spend the day with the bald eagles, other assorted wildlife and the sound of crickets everywhere, than with the jet skis and waves from big boats. For the bluegill, I’ve put away the plastics and went back to leaf worms… they simply give you more action, period. For the crappie though, I still prefer hair jigs…my favorite color as of late – pure green, head and body. I wish I could show you pictures but my digital camera died and I can’t afford a new one right now, sorry…hopefully soon. Anyway, I just wanted to say that it’s a good time to get out, things should continue to get even better(especially bigger numbers of schooling crappie)as fall begins. Enjoy! Bob
