MONTHLY TIPS
-- As Fisherman, we must stick together and share fishing tips with others.

- During fall, fish will follow baitfish into shallow waters and cover,
and you can catch these fish SHALLOW CRANKING

- Try topwater lures in late summer and early fall as you can cover lots of water.
We fish these during sunny conditions and for more hook-ups, do not fish them fast.
Always have a follow up soft plastic bait rigged, and our favorite is a Fluke.
Cast parallel alone shore edges or isolated cover and around docks.
You should also fish those spots you feel are holding Bass.
Fish the areas at or in the major creek arms during fall.
There is Nothing Like the Thrill of a Big Bass Smashing a Topwater lure.!

** Support our local Bait Shops to assure they will be there when we need them for fresh,
lively baits and current fishing info or advice as well as the latest tackle..!

Do Not Forget - - FISHING IS MEANT TO BE FUN - -

- Fish Facts:
The Rapala thin-minnows plug (created by Lauri Rapala) is one of the best-selling lures
in the world. Its wounded, wobbling swimming action attracts gamefish of all species.
They are still hand-made by workers in Vaasky, Finland

TIP: Twitching the lure in place drives Bass crazy as does a steady retrieve.

Fisherman´s Prayer
God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, and when the final cast is made and life has slipped away,
I pray that God ´s great landing net will catch me in its sweep, and in his mercy, God will judge me big enough to keep.
