Walleye and Crappie action is still hot, We are still catching fish in the shallower water on the Chain, deeper water on the natural lakes. Musky action is hot too. We have been fishing the deep breaks with large plastic, weighted jerk baits, cranks and live bait. Fish are really getting aggressive as the water temps fall. I had 38 surface temps on the Chain.
The attached fish 46" was caught 11/6/10 on the Phillips Chain, It hit a sucker that was hanging just out of sight over the side of the boat after the fish followed a Pounder Bulldawg to the boat.
Nice fish!!! Was west of your area chasing grouse yesterday and the hunting was very satisfying. Managed to put up some birds and get a couple in the bag!!!
That's the only problem with having young, or even older bird dogs... Now's the time to run them. My old one had a ball!!! My young one was with all fall last year @ 4 - 6 months, but my time this summer has been limited and thus my need to keep working with her. She stays nice and close, is not gun shy, just hasn't connected with the bird scent on the ground and the rest of the action. I may be hunting in your neck of the woods every Sunday til the season ends to continue to consistently get her on more birds. Perhaps one of those Sunday's where I don't have to scramble out there and back, we can stop by and see if you are in the house!!!
