Fallpalooza

As the season’s end quickly creeps up, that window narrows down, on what is phenomenal fishing.
The fall bite will turn on, of great numbers will be your catches, but it can also shut down really fast.
We decided to head out on Monday and give her a go.
As we launched the boat, the sun slowly melted away that morning frost covered dock.
Water temps raised within minutes, from the low 40’s to mid 40’s.
I had only fished Newboro twice, the shore line can be very enticing with gorgeous lay downs, but was once told that you’ll need to cover too much ground to finally hit a descent fish when hitting the bank.
Luckily enough, Rick knew the lake well.
He brought me on a long weedy flat that makes for a perfect drift when the wind blows in the proper direction.
Needless to say, it blew us perfectly for what was roughly a 150 yards drift, ranging from 10-15 fow.
Jerkbaits where on fire as water temps hit the high 40’s, once the dinks were milked out, The Mean Jigging Machine, also known as Rick, took to a jig, the results were bigger fish.
Now of course fishing does come with a few inevitable mishaps…
Within 5 minutes, Rick managed to break not one, but 2 Megabass 110’s, don’t ask! Moral of this lesson, you gotta pay to play.
Awesome day out, take the time off, enjoy yourself, it’s definitely worth it…..and it sure beats putting up drywall!
