These Baits Will Land You Fall Bass

Fishing changes just like the seasons. Don't miss out on this list of must-have bass baits!

Sometimes, it can be challenging for anglers to catch fish when the weather shifts from Summer to Fall.

Coming Home

Hello Lovelies! Thank y'all so much for the support and love the past day! I have decided to write a little quick Folio Fic! Hope you enjoy!

18+ warning

CW: [implied unprotected p in v but no descriptive details, drinking, fluffy fluff, smooching, longing]

It started like any other day when Folio was home, a quick morning text letting you know he was finally home after a long touring schedule. Not only was Nick your best friend, but you lived in the same rural neighborhood. You spent your summer days riding bikes throughout the twists and turns of neighboring streets. You spent the evenings watching Folio play drums in local bands in concrete basements, ears ringing for days afterwards. Winters were spent surrounding bonfires, wrapped in blankets and reliving old times together.

One by one each friend left your hometown but Folio stayed, except when it came to touring, recording, and anything else Bad Omens. So when the opportunity came to spend time with him, you always jumped on it.

And what did he want to do? Go fish...

Equipped with fishing poles, his dad's truck, and a cooler full of Natty Boh's, Folio arrived bright and early like he said he would.

The river was a short drive from your neighborhood. You sat in the passenger seat while Folio took all the familiar turns. At the end of a long road, that had since turned into dirt from asphalt, Folio pulled to the side. The sound of the parking break indicated it was time to gear up. You opened the familiar creaking door, moving to the now open truck bed. You reluctantly accepted the wader pants, earning a small chuckle from Folio's lips.

"The last time you complained about the leeches for hours, y/n," Folio said looking down at the pants then into your eyes.

You practically melted at his chocolate brown eyes, nodding your head as you begun pulling the waders over your leggings.

Once geared up you both trekked through the woods on a barely-there path, but you both knew exactly where you were going. At the rivers edge, you cracked open a beer, prepared your fishing poles, and waded out into the flowing river.

"I reckon I'll catch the biggest fish this time," You teased as you both cast out your lures. Folio chose a simple blue spinner lure, while you opted for a rainbow jerkbait.

Hours passed by as you both cast out lines, reeled in, and repeated. A few small bluefish made their ways onto your hooks, nothing noteworthy. The trout Folio caught was small and did not meet regulation to keep.

Despite the lack of fish, you both had fun. You earned a few splashes from Folio when you cast your line too close to his, he didn't want you to steal his prize fish. You splashed him when his back turned to you, earning a scold from him that you 'scared the fish away' when his line came up empty once again.

After another hour or so more, you both waded your way to shore to sit on the bank and drink a few beers. The sun had begun to set casting deep shadows from the trees. You both sat silently, enjoying each other's company. Every so often you caught Folio's eyes light up when looking at you, earning a shy smile and blush as he quickly looked away. It all just felt right. You loved his goofy smile, the way his face was so expressive even in simple moments like this.

When dusk settled, you both packed up your gear walking back to the truck. In the cover of the trees it was almost impossible not to trip over fallen branches and tree roots. When you made it back to the truck it took all but a few minutes to wiggle out of the waders. Although, Folio caught you when you tripped taking your left foot out. You caught his gaze, mere inches from his beautiful face. His eyes now as dark as the night creeping its way in. His nose ring catching the last light that was left behind.

Then his lips crashed into yours, it was slow but hungry. It started as just lips, and then teeth, and then tongue. The kiss grew urgent, hungry. Your body electrified, it had been so long since you imagined what it would be like to be Folio's. You gave up on that idea long ago when Folio wanted to pursue his dreams.

One shirt came off, then another, one bra, then pants were on the ground. You both had made your way into the backseat of the truck driven by a string you both knew was there. Folio took his time, sneaking glances into your eyes to make sure every move he made was ok, was right.

Fingers snaked under the bands of underwear, both cast aside somewhere in the front seat of the truck. The windows had begun to fog from the pure ecstasy of two friends exploring the deepest parts of themselves for the first time.

The silent night was filled with breathless moans; small gasps when the right spot was found. Pleasure was building slowly, powerfully running between the two of you. And then it was over as fast as it had started, ending in small screams of the others' names. You both clothed quickly, knowing you had already missed the opportunity to eat a hot dinner around your dining table.

Folio drove home, taking the familiar turns once more before pulling in front of your house. Lights illuminated his eyes, which you caught one more time before opening the door and going home.

If you had looked back, you would have noticed Folio's stare lingered on the back of your head for a moment too long. He wanted to say something, but he knew it wasn't the right time.

He would always come home.

Devils Lake Fishing Report

Devils Lake Fishing Report: A Late Summer Update

Devils Lake is once again proving to be a fishing angler's paradise, offering up a consistent and exciting bite for those who venture out onto its vast waters. As the summer winds down, the lake continues to produce impressive catches of walleye, perch, and other species.

Walleye Fishing: Walleye fishing has remained strong throughout the late summer months. Anglers have been finding success in both shallow and deeper waters. The key has been adjusting to the changing conditions, such as temperature fluctuations and baitfish movements. Popular techniques include trolling with crankbaits, jigging with leadhead jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows, and casting jerkbaits.

Perch Fishing: Perch fishing has been excellent, with anglers reporting consistent catches of both yellow and white perch. These tasty fish can be found in various depths, from shallow weed beds to deeper structure. Live bait, such as minnows or wax worms, has been a productive choice for perch fishing.

Other Species: In addition to walleye and perch, Devils Lake has also been producing good numbers of crappies, pike, and bass. These species can be targeted using similar techniques to those used for walleye and perch. FOR MORE UPDATES FOLLOW : https://fishingproo.com/devils-lake-fishing-report/

Seasonal Strategies for Northern Pike Fishing Success

Seasonal strategies are crucial for northern pike fishing success, as this aggressive predator's behavior and habitat change throughout the year. By understanding how northern pike react to seasonal shifts in water temperature, light, and prey availability, anglers can significantly improve their chances of landing these elusive fish.

Spring (Pre-Spawn and Spawn): As ice melts and water temperatures rise, northern pike become more active, moving into shallow waters to spawn. This is a prime time for northern pike fishing as they are hungry after a long winter. Focus on shallow bays, marshes, and areas with vegetation where pike congregate for spawning. Use brightly colored lures or live bait like minnows to attract their attention. Jerkbaits, spoons, and spinners are effective during this time, as they mimic the natural movements of prey.

Summer (Post-Spawn): As temperatures increase, northern pike retreat to deeper, cooler waters during the heat of the day, but they remain active in the early morning and late evening. Focus on weed beds, drop-offs, and structures where pike can ambush prey. During this time, larger lures or crankbaits that resemble perch or smaller fish are particularly effective. Slow presentations work best, as the pike tend to be less aggressive in warmer conditions.

Fall (Feeding Frenzy): As water temperatures drop, northern pike begin their pre-winter feeding frenzy, making fall one of the most productive seasons for northern pike fishing. Pike actively feed on baitfish in preparation for the colder months, often moving back into shallow waters. This is the time to use large, flashy lures or live bait to attract big pike. Focus on shallow flats, rocky points, and river mouths where baitfish gather, and fish during the midday when pike are most active.

Winter (Ice Fishing): In winter, northern pike become more lethargic but are still catchable through the ice. Look for them near underwater structures, drop-offs, or weed lines. Using tip-ups with live bait, such as large minnows or dead baitfish, can be very effective. Northern pike are less aggressive during the winter, so patience is key.

By adapting your tactics to the changing seasons, you can greatly increase your success when northern pike fishing year-round. Understanding their behavior and the best spots to target them is essential for consistent results.

The Ultimate Guide to Essential Saltwater Fishing Lures

Saltwater fishing offers an array of exciting opportunities, but it also demands the right equipment to ensure success. The type of lure you use can make a significant difference in your catch rate. Here are the top 10 must-have lures for a successful saltwater fishing adventure.

Soft Plastic Baits

Soft plastic baits are among the most adaptable lures in any angler's tackle box. They can be molded into various shapes, including worms, shrimp, and baitfish, to imitate natural prey. Available in numerous colors and sizes, these baits can be rigged on a jig head, used with a Carolina rig, or even fished weightless. Their realistic movement in the water makes them attractive to a wide range of saltwater species, from flounder to redfish.

Topwater Lures

Topwater lures are designed to create disturbances on the water's surface, attracting fish from below. They are especially effective during dawn and dusk when fish are feeding near the surface. Poppers, walking baits, and prop baits are popular types of topwater lures. These lures mimic the erratic movements of injured baitfish, enticing explosive strikes from predatory species such as tarpon and bluefish.

Metal Jigs

Metal jigs are essential for targeting deep-water species and fish in strong currents. These lures sink quickly, allowing you to reach the desired depth and then jig them vertically to mimic distressed baitfish. Their reflective surfaces and rapid descent make them highly effective for species like tuna, amberjack, and snapper. Whether you're fishing from a boat or a pier, metal jigs are a versatile addition to your tackle box.

Swimbaits

Swimbaits are designed to imitate the natural swimming motion of baitfish. Available in hard and soft varieties, these lures can be fished at different depths and speeds. When selecting swimbaits, choose sizes and colors that match the local forage. More giant swimbaits are particularly effective for big-game fish, such as striped bass and snook. Their lifelike appearance and movement make them irresistible to predators.

Bucktail Jigs

Bucktail jigs are a timeless and reliable choice for saltwater fishing. These lures consist of a weighted head and a hook dressed with hair or synthetic fibers, creating a pulsating motion in the water. Bucktail jigs can be used in various fishing conditions and are effective for species like flounder, redfish, and bluefish. They are instrumental when fished along the bottom, where they can mimic crustaceans and baitfish.

Crankbaits

Crankbaits are hard-bodied lures designed to dive to specific depths, making them ideal for exploring large areas of water quickly. They come in various shapes, sizes, and diving depths, with different lip designs affecting their movement. Shallow-diving crankbaits are perfect for inshore fishing, while deep-diving models are better suited for offshore pursuits. Their wobbling action imitates the erratic swimming patterns of panicked baitfish, enticing predatory strikes.

Spoons

Spoons are simple yet effective lures that can attract a variety of saltwater species. Their curved, reflective design creates a wobbling motion and flash that mimics a fleeing baitfish. Spoons can be cast and retrieved at different speeds or trolled behind a boat. Silver and gold are the most popular colors, but spoons also come in various patterns to match local forage. Their versatility makes them a staple in any saltwater angler's collection.

Jerkbaits

Jerkbaits are long, slender lures designed to be jerked and paused during retrieval, mimicking an injured baitfish. This erratic action is highly effective at provoking predatory responses. Jerkbaits can be fished in various water columns, making them suitable for different environments. They are particularly effective in clear water and shallow areas, where their lifelike appearance can attract wary fish. Adjusting the speed and rhythm of your retrieve can significantly improve your catch rate.

Spinnerbaits

Spinnerbaits combine the features of jigs and spoons. They feature a lead head with one or more spinning blades. The blades create flash and vibration as the lure moves through the water, attracting fish from a distance. Spinnerbaits are effective for species such as redfish, trout, and mackerel. They can be retrieved at various speeds and depths, making them versatile for different fishing conditions. Their unique design makes them a valuable addition to any tackle box.

Live Bait Rigs

While not a lure in the traditional sense, live bait rigs are essential for saltwater fishing. These rigs allow you to present live baitfish naturally, which can be irresistible to many species. Standard live bait options include shrimp, minnows, and crabs. Live bait rigs are particularly effective when fish are finicky or when targeting more significant, more cautious predators. Ensure your rig matches the size of your bait and the target species for optimal results.

Tips for Choosing and Using Saltwater Lures

Match the Hatch: Observe the local baitfish and select lures that closely resemble them in size, color, and action.

Consider Water Conditions: Clearwater often requires more natural and subtle lure presentations, while murky water might necessitate brighter colors and louder lures.

Adjust Your Retrieve: Experiment with different retrieval speeds and patterns. Sometimes, a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times, a fast, erratic motion is needed.

Stay Informed: Keep up with local fishing reports and talk to other anglers to learn which lures are currently producing results.

Be Prepared: Carry a variety of lures to adapt to changing conditions and target different species throughout your fishing trip.

Saltwater fishing is a thrilling and rewarding experience, but success often hinges on having the right lures. Equipping yourself with these top 10 must-have lures will enhance your chances of a successful fishing trip. From soft plastic baits and top water lures to metal jigs and live bait rigs, each lure brings unique benefits to your arsenal. By understanding their strengths and how to use them effectively, you'll be well-prepared to tackle a wide range of saltwater species and enjoy a productive and enjoyable fishing adventure. Happy fishing!

Pike Fishing

Finally got out for a bit of pike fishing before the season closed in FMZ 20.

Decided to start at the eastern gap. Winds were really strong and cold.

Jerking the NLW Erie 115MD with full weight tune attached and suddenly a brown trout attacked it closed to shore.

Also got to see the Island Cafe that was destroyed by a fire very recently.

Moving on further west through the island there was no bites at the church dock or the famous photo spot. Water was a bit lower than normal for this time of year.

Ryo finally landed one near the centre island bridge.

And I too landed one after losing two.

We moved further west and finally convinced William to stop throwing the big glide bait and catch a pike on the jerkbait.

At Hanlan's point Ryo caught another pike in the shallows.

After working our way back east William caught a big one at the kayak/canoe rental dock.

This one came up and swiped at his jerkbait twice and he only hooked up on the third try.

And that sums up a day of pike fishing on the island.

2. Lake Okeechobee: A Bass Fishing Extravaganza

The expansive nature of Lake Okeechobee allows anglers to explore various hotspots, including the famed grassy areas and the Kissimmee River.

3. Tampa Bay: A Diverse Saltwater Playground

Tampa Bay offers a diverse range of saltwater fishing opportunities, making it an ideal destination for winter anglers. Snook, redfish, and spotted seatrout are prevalent during this season.
