Fall Bite

nice mess of fish

My partner, my son and I caught 13 BLUE CATS and 1 FLATHEAD yesterday at Baldwin Lake. A 16 lb, 14 lb, (2) 10 lb'ers, (4) 8 lb'ers the rest were between 3 - 5 lbs. The Flatty weighed in at 11 lbs. All were caught while drifting with cut Bluegill. Not too bad, eh!

me and my neighbor took our boats out saturday. i only caught two at about 13" or so. tossed em back and came home at 10,pm. i used shad. they brought back an 11 and 9 #er and said all they had was worms.
guess ill have to try something other than shad next time. :glare:

I havn/t been to balwin in a few years. Whats the hp limit up there?Any one in here fish the mississippi by st louis?

Baldwin has a 50 HP limit.

I caught this nice 11 pounder today.

I'm going back to Baldwin Lake sunday to try my luck again. Sure would like to duplicate last weeks results. :cross:

Hey, Jeremy. Me and a buddy are heading down to Clinton on the 7th and 8th, are you going to be around?

of oct. sure. i can do that. nice to see ya back earnest.

Dog gone it, I got the wrong picture for the 11 pounder. I will look it up and try it again later on. The new computer's filing system is much different than the old one's was. :cursing: Sorry.

Here is a picture of one I caught Tuesday.

Went back to Baldwin Lake today. Caught 7 fish in the first two drifts between 9:30 am and 12:15 pm, then the wind changed directions and it was all over. SIX drifts without a fish. We caught 3 FLATHEADS and 4 BLUES. The Flatheads were 9 lbs. 15 lbs. and 40 lbs. The Blues were 3 lbs. 8 lbs. 11 lbs. and 18 lbs. All were caught on cut BLUEGILL.

well ill be testing the fall bite this weekend. doing some camping and fishing at the lake.

It has been too cold for me to fish the last few days. I never have had much luck after a cold front moving through. It is supposed to warm up Monday.
I have been having some great hunts with my beagles and squirrel dogs.

Ya It Was Cold. We Bundled Up And Hit The Water. The Temp At The Discharge Was 91 Degrees. We Caught Just A Few. 5 For The Weekend. Enough To Say We Had Fun. They Were Pretty Slow But I Brought Some From The Reezer So We Still Had Fish Frys. :d

I haven't been able to catfish much this week, just a little crappie fishin'. The doctor is going to do a colonoscopy today and I haven't been able to eat the last couple of days, feeling kind of weak, so I haven't got too far from home. You guys over 50 know what a pain one of those are and where it is painful the most. :crying: Hopefully, I will be back to fishing as normal by the weekend.
