Is The Fall Feeding Frenzy On?

This morning sure was interesting, to say the least.  I just couldn’t stand it anymore and set the alarm for 4 so I could at least get one more morning in there – and I’m glad I did.  I got out there to the river around 5:20 or so, and started out with Senkos.  I had one decent bite which I lost, and then a while later, caught one dink.  That was it for Senkos.  As soon as it got light, which was around 6:20 or so, I switched to a white/red spinnerbait and that’s when the fun really started.

In a 30-minute span, I caught 4 bass on a spinnerbait, and lost two when they jumped and threw the lure on me.  Granted, most of them were dinks (except for the one in the 2nd to last pic) but man oh man, I sure had a blast out there for 30 minutes.  I’ve rarely seen the bass THAT aggressive.  And Steve, if you look close, the last three I caught were caught using the spinnerbaits you made for me.  Today was definitely one of those mornings where I did NOT want to head in to work smile_wink.

    Glad those spinnerbaits are working for you!!

    WTG Nomad! You didn’t even use spinerbaits last year did you? I may see you out there tomorrow morning!Hey did you get those W20,000 chest waders yet? They are the best since slice bread…

    Rob,

    Yep, call in sick from my cell phone, with the noise of terminator dump trucks going down river road right behind me :lol:

    Steve,

    Actually, I wouldn’t have to call in sick. My boss has told me plenty of times that if I’m having a good morning out there, he’d totally understand if I wanted to come in late. I’m just not the type to take advantage of something like that…not yet, anyway ;)

    Ty,

    I used a spinnerbait a few times last year, but not even close to how much I throw them now. I still haven’t gotten around to calling Owen about the waders yet, I really need to do it before it gets too cold to fish, period.
