Fall fishing
« on: Sep 13, 2014, 07:07 PM »
Anyone doing any good?    With the little one haven't been able to get out.   Want to see how this season is going.

I am wanting to get up to Merritt to give it a try.  Does anyone know when the water temp at Merritt usually STARTS TO drop below 60 deg. ?

I am wanting to get out to sherman soon.  Maybe the bite will be back on.

Stayed up there Saturday-Tuesday morning, just for some relaxing.  Did a bit of bank fishing, but the lake being 11' low doesn't lend the bank fishmen much help.

Crappie bite has been decent in far SE Nebraska.  Too bad it's on a lake I can't ice fish.  >:(

Bass have been hitting great too.



I almost always be use a 1/32oz jig I tie, but lately I've been using a Bitsy Pond Minnow, and had a ton of hits, but lost several nice fish.  I put bigger hooks on it tonight, hoping for better hookup ratio.

Sounds like the fall season might be coming to a close and hope everyone had a great fall season and bring on the hard water.
