With the summer weather not staying all that warm, our fall season came pretty quick come mid September.  With the water temperatures dropping quickly I made sure to get out as much as I could in search of some fall fatties.

I’ve been on the water consistently twice a week but I thought I’d share a couple of favourite outings:

Enjoying  a warm day on a favourite Eastern Ontario lake we found some largies between 6-8fow on a mix of cranks, flipping jigs and senkos:

A bonus pike on a crankbait:

At the end of the day we managed 40 bass and 3 pike.  Top 5 weights
3.4
3.4
3.2
2.9
2.9

The next day we hit up another lake where the conditions went from sunny and no wind, to windy cold, and rainy.  Meeting some friends on the water our goal was to find fall bass on deep weedlines flipping 1/4oz to 3/8oz jigs.

We didn’t get as great numbers the sizes were there:

End of the day:

17bass
1 pike (but a few bite offs)

top 5:
4
3.14
3.10
3.10
3.7

Now with the temperatures really dropping, water temps as low as 43F it’s getting a bit more challenging to find decent numbers. The short summer season brought on a quick and cold fall transition.  This fall season is no where near as great as last years (perhaps due to the early fall turnover and continuous change in conditions), but I am enjoying the hunt for some big fall largies.

Tight lines,
