Fishing Report - October 19,2010

[Superdad]

Launched the Superdad on Tuesday and headed out with RedCapBert and laker John to see what we could see and catch. Got to the yellow can between Shermans and Thompsons and started marking a LOT of fish.

Trolled to Thompsons and found the fish from 36' and deeper, all the way up and down the Reach. Large schools of baitfish surrounded by really big marks on the graph. Unfortunately they weren't biting.

Trolled from 0900 to 1330, with a little jigging and a little spinner and worm rigging(to get out of the wind) and the total catch was a 3lb sheepshead and 8 inch perch.

The water temp in Hay Bay was 56 degs and the water temp in Long Reach was 55 degs, still kinda warm.......

No fishing until Nov as the social calendar has filled up.

Stay Tuned

Thanks for the update Superdad - sounds a lot like my first Fall trip a week ago, except water temperatures have dropped about 5 degrees.

Those larger bodies of water do take a while to change! The little lake I was in on Tuesday was at 50f to 51f. I will bet that it will be in steady 40s by the time this cold weather passes through.

Thanks for the report and I look forward to your next one!
