Burmham Pickerel

[anthrax2244]

Tried my usual catfish/carp methods sat (10/8) for half an hour, heavy chum of corn...waited for some feeding activity...nothing...saw fish breaking in the middle of the pond, looked like bass or pickerel, so I reeled in my corn lines. Hooked a 6" pickerel while reeling in with the corn, 2nd time this has happened this year. I tied on a shallow diving rapala and went took a walk around the lower pond, casting all over. Hooked 3 more pickerel (15", 15", 19") and a small largemouth in the next 45 mins.

I went back this morning with the rapala and hit the upper pond from 7:15 to 8:15. Hit 3 more pickerel (20", 24" and 14") called it a day when I threw my trusty rapala into a tree . Saw a few carp feeding this morning, but not in the usual places.

Anyone tried shore fishing for bows at Round Valley yet? Any news?

My buddy went out to RV on Saturday and caught 3 bows all just under 15 inches. To anyone that fishes round valley off the shore I would say if possible go there by boat park somewhere in the back and cast your rods from shore there. I have had many days in the fall with up to 20 fish caught that way. You fish shoreline that pretty much doesnt get much fishing pressure if any that way.

Nice job on the toothy critters, the pickeral should get more active with the cooling water.

nice job on the cedar cuda i carped Saturday as well weather was perfect for philly tarpon i thought i woulda killed em but they were not eating. i went 1-3 and lost old sam after a 15 minute fight had to be 20+lbs this time of year the carp are more spread out then they are in the spring but once ya get em going they will chew really good try to donate a few more hours to fishing just because it takes longer to get them going the water was still warm in my lake so i would think the best carping of the fall is still on its way stay at it
