Thread: Fall wisdom for Bream ?

Glad I decided to go today.I didn't get out until after 12pm and wasn't going. But, the sun was out, in the 7 0's and breezy - conditions that won't last long and especially in NY in late Oct.. The 10 mph steady wind caused me to find wind-sheltered areas. A cove to the east fit the bill. I hadn't surveyed the bottom and was very surprised at what I found including this large pickerel early on caught on a tiny spike tail that had caught a doz. fish the day before:


As I worked parallel to shore, I had to watch out for large rock that were usually in 5'.
Way back in the cove, mixed schools were found in 3' to the tune of over 45 fish in 3 hours.The outflow, still emptying water, was amazing with the number of fish milling around. Better quality perch, sunfish and crappie hit 4 different lures.


The Beetle Spin caught everything!


I sat there catching fish after fish and in only 3 FOW. No pads nor vegetation, just a rocky hard bottom. Tomorrow's another day - one in the 70's that will change dramatically in 24 hours. May as well enjoy it while the bite is amazing.
