9/25/17 Fishing Report/Lake Conditions

9/25/2017

Wow,  I have been remiss about keeping a current report, staying busy guiding will do that.  Since my last report, there has been a  big  change in the numbers of fish that we are catching and also the size of the fish that we are catching.   I have seen it get tough before at this time of the year which is kind of a transition period into the fall feeding for the bass, but this year seems to be much tougher than usual.   The recent tournament results show that the majority of fisherman are weighing in much smaller five fish limits and the numbers of big fish being weighed in are way down.  My recent trips have also been way off the pace of what we were catching four to six weeks ago.   There currently seems to be no big concentrations of fish in any one area and we are moving around a lot to catch one here and one there and all of the fish are in the one to two pound range.   This up coming week,  the FLW Costa series pro's will hit the lake for three days,  this will be the real tale of the tape for what is going on with the fish. The first two weeks of October will also see two big events hitting the lake and will provide an even better picture of fishing conditions.   October always finds us as guides winding down, with fewer people wanting to get out and fish, along with colder weather and the start of our rainy season.  October also is usually the kick off month for the use of any live bait for customers that prefer to use.   
   This summer we saw some pretty serious algae blooms,  had a long spell of hot weather with many days of 100 plus, and the water temps got up into the 80's.  With all of that, we had a fish die off around the lake due to a lack of oxygen in the water for the fish.   The algae blooms are gone and the fish die off seems to be over,  hopefully with the fall cool down,  the bigger fish will start to show up and the overall catch rate will improve.   The fall season patterns for baits are normally crank baits, both shallow and deep runners,  under spins with a swim bait type trailer, jig's and the standard drop shot and shakey head worm set ups.   The vast majority of my recent trips have all been using drop shot Robo worms in the MM color and baby brush hogs in the watermelon candy color.   That's it for now,  following the upcoming tournament results will provide a great overview of current conditions.   My thanks to all of you who follow my reports and who fished with me in the past,  stay safe, be courteous to your fellow fisherman,   God Bless
