Joe buddy, don't believe that wintertime talk from Randy. It's the
dog-dayest, muggiest, most humid part of the summer here in SE PA. Early
fall is two months away, water temps are getting close to 90 degrees here.
The fishing is tough as nails & the bass are nowhere near the shallows.
They are in solid, summer pattern. Randy lives up in the mountains, but
he's less than an hour's drive to some simmering hot water.
Get off those ponds Randy, go take a drive lol!
May I suggest the BASS Open weigh-in Saturday up on the Hudson?

And maybe some new words, too.
Go get'em, guys. You're much farther along in the season than we are here
and should do well with the early fall bite.
Unless a cold front moves through, we're into spinnerbait and buzzbait
season big time in middle Tennessee. A pal of mine and his son caught 45
bass (2 over 6#, 2 more over 5#, 3 fish about 4#, and several in the 2-3
lb
range) on a 200-yard stretch of bank on two days. Before the front moved
through, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits worked well. With the front, the bass
repositioned themselves so a 1/8oz Chartreuse Luhr-Jensen Speed Trap was
required to coax a bite.

40 feet...? Son!! That's barely half a cast. Wait to you see the amazing
things I can do with a rod and reel next week.. Your gonna scratch your
head
and say "how the hell did you do that" and "I have never seen a line wrap
that many times around a rod"
I'm looking forward to seeing that...and hopefully learning some great
techniques.
