Autumn at Last

Okay, so it's been a while since I've last been in touch. I apologize to those of you who have been anxiously awaiting an update as to what's happening at the lake. Here is a quick synopsis of what it has been like the last two months. Big surprise, it was HOT. In fact, it was downright uncomfortable. Sure you could still go out and catch a few nice ones either early or late if you were hardcore but there just isn't much shade out there in which to hide.

I did discover that the heat is much easier to deal with over at Blue Cypress. The shade provided by the shoreline trees gives a nice respite from the blazing sun and provides ample places for the fish to hide as well. This natural gem is a wonderful example of nature at its finest and is currently experiencing some of its finest fishing in years according to Joe and Jeanne Middleton. They should know as they have been doing business over there for 48 years now.

Abundant shoreline grass and tree cover makes this lake a paradise for those anglers who like to pitch and flip. There must be a million targets out there and very little pressure. If you have not tried this lake you are missing out. If you want to rectify that send me a line to set up a date and I will take you out to see what you have been missing.

The good news is autumn has arrived. The changes are subtle but this is the beginning of my favorite time of the year to fish. The weather moderates and the fish feed consistently. In short, it's time to fish so choose a day and don't delay because your big bass is one cast away.
