October is one of those months that brings mixed emotions for anglers around the Midwest. While a lot of guys have changed their rods/reels in for shotguns and shells, October remains one of my favorite times to fish. I keep the
Quantum Rods/reels at the ready when my schedule allows to hit the water for a few hours. October brings less boaters, clean water and actively feeding fish. With a recent purchase of jonboat, and the Wapsi only a few minutes away from my house, this month has been a great month to catch bass on this interior river. While the jonboat doesn't have all the bells and whistles of my bass boat, the biggest thing I miss are the
Talons, however this jonboat allows me to venture anywhere on the wapsi and get to places that a fiberglass bass boat cannot. Keith Donnelly and I took a trip this afternoon to go on the river to see what we could find. We found some active smallies and largemouth hitting a variety of baits; spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and
Hot Rod Baits tubes. Today, for the first day of this month, slower baits produced more bass than the fast bait presentations. I am pretty sure the high pressure had something to do with this. It was a fantastic day to be on the river, shorts, short sleeves and catching bass in October...it doesn't get any better than that!
