Re: Soggy Bottom Boys Report from 10/19
I've been hittin the river Dale. Big smallies, walleye and half a dozen NICE stripers in as many trips. I'll usually toss plugs for an hour or two whenever I'm out. I haven't pulled a 20 lb'er yet this year but I'll keep trying for another week or two. p.s. my buddy pulled a 37in. 20lb fish while we were out on sat.

Re: Soggy Bottom Boys Report from 10/19

I was at Spruce Run on Saturday afternoon, too. You might have seen my little kayak floating around by the pier. Fishing was definitely slow. Even the catfish weren't biting and they're usually a given. Maybe the quickly dropping water levels have the fish upset. I eventually caught a few small Yellow Perch. .

Re: Soggy Bottom Boys Report from 10/19
this weather is making fishing tough in alot of bodies of water, its supposed to be in the 50s with water temps, not low 60s this time of year. some fish are on fall patterns and some are still shallow, scattered fish w no thermocline makes it tough. I hit swartswood on sunday and was slow til late morning, then the smallies turned on for a while. honking wind too didnt help, all the bait was in 30fow give or take but all fish caught were in 20something, go figure. LH is not launchable and the rest of the good waters are either closed or the fishing sucks. the fall fishing has to start soon and I bet this weekend is the turning point, we are not getting out of the 50s for a while and that will cool water temps and trigger fish to head to deeper winter hangouts, the bait is already there in most bodies of water

Re: Soggy Bottom Boys Report from 10/19
Funny, I ALWAYS bitch about the full moon causing lousey fishing. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who seems to think the same thing. LOL!

Re: Soggy Bottom Boys Report from 10/19
There is some speculation by "experts"that fish feed heavily at night during full moon phases.. very simply.. They have more light to feed at night and simply feed less during the daylight hours.. Pretty simplistic really, but it does seem to make some sense.. I have noticed awful freshwater fishing here in upstate NY during the full moon as well..bob
