Again, anglers should use the same presentations, colors and techniques that are being used at South Fork Reservoir, dark soft plastic grubs and crankbaits. Bass can be caught anywhere in the water column but it can depend a lot on conditions. When the water cools down bass will go deeper seeking more consistent water temperatures. If this is the case, the best baits are bottom baits which can drag past lethargic fish and produce a strike. In other instances, like first and last light, bass will move shallower in search of baitfish cruising flats.
These let air circulate through the boxes and allow the worms to migrate between boxes. They also let the fertiliser fluid drain into the bottom box. Laurance Reed continues his good stretch of fall fishing on the Chicago lakefront.
However, this bait really shines as a trailer with other baits. On chatterbaits and swim jigs, it adds the extra realism and profile that can dramatically increase strikes. I also find that if you flip it over and rig it upside down it has a much tighter action similar to a fleeing baitfish.
RUBY LAKE NWRNot much change at the refuge as the water level is still low in the south marsh and the Narciss boat ramp is unusable, though the main boat ramp is. Surface water temperatures have dropped into the high 50s and the bass bite is slow but the trout bite is picking up. While some bass are still being caught, bass fishing is almost done for the year here. With the cooler water temperatures the best bass fishing is in the afternoons. Most of the keepers are on the small size ranging between 10 and 12 inches. Soft plastic grubs in blue, black or purple and rigged weedless seemed to work the best but really slow the presentation down.
With low water conditions the boat ramp is unusable so canoes, small cartopper boats amd float tubes are the way to go for those wanting to get on the water. COMINS LAKESurface water temperatures have dropped into the high 50s to low 60s and trout fishing is good. With all the weeds, look for open channels where the trout are congregating.
Joe’s Fishing Hole: Very good fall fishing at Wildhorse
Whether fished as is or as a trailer, I make sure to always carry some Keitech Swing Impacts with me. Matching the hatch can dramatically improve your catch rate. Learn what the bass in your area are eating and find lures that resemble it. Local reports can be a good starting point when trying to dial in baits. On the water, look for clues like a dead baitfish that can help you match your lure to what the bass are eating.
Chironomids, pheasant tail nymphs, gold ribbed hare’s ears and soft hackles under an indicator or dry fly should also work. Bait anglers should have some luck with worms about five feet under a bobber or PowerBait fished off the bottom. The backside of the lake along the rock walls and submerged boulders seems to be the best area for catching fish. Expect air temperatures in the 30’s in the morning so bring a jacket. Like the south marsh, the weeds are thick in places in the collection ditch though starting to recede with the cooler temperatures. As the vegetation dies off, scuds and leeches lose their habitat and make easy pickings for the trout.
If put outdoors, consider where you position it, as it needs some protection from the elements. Placing the composter against a wall or fence will help shelter it from too much sun or rain. These worms prefer slightly different conditions, so you may find a mix of both gives you more flexibility in maintaining your wormery. The species of worms suitable for a composter aren’t the normal garden earthworms that you find living in burrows under the soil.
Call it a freak of nature or just plain luck, given how the shop sits on the bank of the Halifax River. ANGEL LAKEExpect snow here this weekend, and the USFS may close the road if enough hits the ground. Make sure to check NDOT’s road conditions map for updates before heading up here this weekend. Drill a dozen 1/8-inch holes on the sides of the bin to allow air to circulate. Never leave the door attached to the refrigerator without rigging some way to hold it open while you feed, water and gather the worms.
If you use the compost for another bin of worms, the cocoons will hatch and the baby worms will grow into adults. Adjust your feeding as necessary so the worms eat all of the food you give them. Put 6 inches of the bedding mix into the bin and fluff it up with your hands or a hand shovel. If you get more than one to two drops of water, it is too wet, and your bedding will turn into a smelly mess and kill your worms. If it is too wet, churn it with a hand shovel and let it dry out.
