bait, and a good bet when the temps drop, low and slow is the way to go when the pace falls off.
Remember, fall Ball fishing can be very productive and is a nominal time to catch a “PB” (personal best). I absolutely love the colors of fall and the crisp cooler air, especially when you are the only or one a few boats on the water. I have noticed that not a lot of fishing enthusiasts take full advantage of their op- portunities this time of year, so less competition, means more opportunities. As always, get out on the water and create new and lasting memories with friends and family. Take a newbie with you and share the knowledge.
Off the Hook

It’s that time of year again, fall has been sprung upon us. Leaves changing hue and leaf peepers abound.

are not taking top water then I begrudgingly slow it way down and start banging the bottom with the gold old standby, “pig n jig”.
