I wonder if anyone can guess MY favorite fall lure???????
-- Bob Rickard www.secretweaponlures.com --------------------------=x O'))) "RGarri7470" wrote in message ... What lure(s) would you use at this time of year and what time of day would you most like to fish? I fished a club tournament at Lake Martin in Alabama last weekend and it was typical of this year, kinda. The water temp in one cove dropped from 81 Friday afternoon to 76 Saturday morning to 71 Sunday morning. We had a bad double cold front come thru, first wave Friday night, second on Sat night. The skies were clear and bright, and there was some wind Saturday, none on Sunday. The fishing was tough for 44 of us, with only four limits brought in. Saturday I was tournament director - it is a 3 club tournament - and I had to let everyone go, so I was last. The first point I wanted to fish was full, so I stopped on one just before it. Started with a big Fat Free Shad but got no bites on a dozen cast. Picked up a spinnerbait and one hit it on the first cast. Landed a second one on the spinnerbait about 15 minutes later, two keepers in the boat before 7:30 when the sun came up. I worked that point and some smaller secondary points around it with spinnerbait, buzzbait, crankbait and worms, and my partner was throwing worms mostly, no more bites. I moved into the shade behind the point and started throwing the buzzbait, and caught a keeper. The area was full of logs and brush. My partner caught one on a worm then I got another keeper on a buzzbait. Four in the boat at 8:30 and the sun was getting bright. We fished shady banks and coves for another hour and a half with no bites. Moved out to main lake points and started throwing a Carolina rig into deeper brush, caught a keeper at noon on it. Five in the boat, two short of a 7 fish limit. Talked my partner into running way up the river at 1:00 looking for a kicker since I figured everyone was catching the pound average fish like me. Up the river I threw big crankbaits, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits, and flipped a jig and pig into blowdowns and around all cover I could find. Not a bite for two hours. Then I put on a #5 Shadrap and caught two keepers between 3:00 and 4:00. We kept fishing there till 4:30 when it was time to head in - not another bite. I had my limit but figured they weighed about 7 pounds, and I would not do good. And I was worried, I was on no pattern although I had a limit. At weigh-in my 7 weighed 8.02 pounds and tied me for second for the day, winner had four weighing 8.42 including a 6.02 pounder that was big fish. Everyone had a tough time, with a bunch of zeroes after 10 hours of fishing. Sunday I never caught a keeper, although I was first out and tried everything I knew. Another fisherman that had a limit on Sat also zeroed on Sunday. Took only 5.98 pounds to win on Sunday and 3.11 pounds to get 6th, nobody that placed in top six on Saturday placed on Sunday! I ended up 8th overall, 2nd in one club and 3rd in the other I fish. All this is to say I will try anything and everything, from very shallow to very deep, this time of year. But my favorite is a spinnerbait or buzzbait worked around shallow cover. Ronnie http://fishing.about.com |
