So much for great october fishing, skunked 2 times in a row on a small lake I have been fishing most of the year with good success. Whats the deal with the fish? Do you think the bite will pick up soon? Any tips on how to catch some bass right now? I am still hopefull I will get into a nice bite before ice-over!

I've noticed that the bite for small lakes & ponds have slowed significantly over the past week. I think it's a sign to fish the larger lakes and rivers. Crappies and Wallys should be good on them now. I don't really target bass anymore so I can't help you there.

If your still fishing the small bodies of water your best bet is to find any surviving weed edges and growth. Signs of small pannies still suspending in water near shoreline is good. If you don't see them it's a good sign that the fish have moved in deeper water and the bite patterns have change drastically. This is where I like to use live bait & slower fishing tech patterns.

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
