9 August - Favorite Late Summer/early Fall technique or lure

[BoilermakerFan]

On the reclaimed coal mine strip pits, I'm getting the best response from deep jigs with Zoom trailers in white and black/blue.

On the reclaimed coal mine strip pits, the Ugly Otter fished unweighted, texposed 6-8 feet off the bottom has been very, very good to me!

On the reclaimed coal mine strip pits, Mepps Killer Combo with a 4" curly tail grub is yellow or watermelon.

On the reclaimed coal mine strip pits, when it finally cools off and the fish come back into the flats, I'll be throwing a surface popper in blue/chrome with a red front treble and a bucktail dressed "bleeding" rear treble.

On the reclaimed coal mine strip pits, I'll fish crawdad plastics t-rigged from the shore to immitate them feeding before digging in for the winter.

On the small fishing ponds in the area, I plan to try various popper, bug, and streamer flies on spinning gear with casting bobbers and tippets.  Before I make the jump to full-fledged fly fishing!

In the late summer in the early morning on Bussy lake I like to throw Buzz Baits along the shore line and rip raf and buzz it fast then slow.

In the early fall  I like to retrive a rapela minnow bait along the shore line in the early morning on Lake Tampeure here in Illinois and bounce ir off the rocks on the retreive for Bass and Walleyes.

On sunny, no wind days when the tide is coming in drop a 5" senko next to laydowns in the deeper pockets slowly working it, very slowly  on the Biloxi and Pascagoula river  in MS.

Fall pattern -
Sullivan Lake, Indiana
Johnson Silver Minnow, 1/2 oz. with 4" Mr.Twister white grub or twin tail trailer.
Cast it in the back end of bays with leaves on top of the water...keep the bait up on top.

[Fishaholic]

Late Summer -
LaSalle Game Preserve, Indiana
T-rigged 10" plastic worm, black or brown worked parallel and very close to the shoreline trying to imitate the swimming action of a small snake, works well at mid-day

[Bgjp5150]

Morning time slowly and erraticly work a chartreuse and white buzzbait about 3-5 feet from the banks that have laydowns or stumps submerged, on the Biloxi river in MS.

[Fishaholic]

Early Fall -
Wolf Lake, Indiana
5/8 oz. Jointed Black Jitterbug, cast out over the deep weed line towards evening, make sure you're casting into the wind...works best when there's a slight chop on the water.

[Bgjp5150]

Flip a black and blue jig to undercut banks bounce it along trying to keep it in the shadows on sunny calm days the Pascagoula river in MS.

[Fishaholic]

Late Summer -
Wolf Lake, Indiana.
Evenings, cast a husky jerk along the thick weeds outside the bays just at sunset.

[Bgjp5150]

slow roll a spinnerbait along riprap every now and then stop it and let it fall.  On sunny days when the tide is coming in on the biloxi river in MS.

I don't have time to post this week like I usually do so short post to get my name in hat.

Lake Seminole - favorite early fall pattern is shad crankbait between grass and timber edges.  Really it is anything that works, but prefer the above.

A red and black jig with a matching berkley super chunk hopped accross the bottom. This works well for me in rocky lakes. I used this technique often on the wallkill river in upstate ny.
