The latest is much the same as it has been all season.   1. The fishing is the best it has been in some years with big fish an attractant, and this site is the a favorite for many.   I have enjoyed one of my best seasons in catching fish, and mostly big ones.  If you do not like to catch lots of big fish, I am not your man.   If you do not like to troll, I am not your man also.   I am using umbrella rigs, trolling, and have not had a bad day but once, and that was one with a huge change in barometric pressure.   You can be assured when that happens, fish do not bite.   I have been doing this for 20 plus years, and have not seen a better year for big fish, in those 20 years.   I am not sure if that is because of anything in particular, or if it is the rigs with 9 jigs, simulating a school of bait.   I started doing this with the loss of our shad the first of the year, but there is bait around now, and I am not changing what has been working, as I have all the confidence in what has worked for me, all the time.   If something will work better, I would do it, but I see too much happening my way, and a lot slower for others.    What I am doing is a lot like off shore fishing, where with movement over a school of fish, rod are bending, and I am catching up to four fish at a time, or even two huge fish at once.   Scrambles up a lot of the rigs, but its worth the effort.   Schools are back open, kids are returning, so week day business has dropped off, but I expect this method to work, all during the fall and into the winter, and you do not want to miss any of it.   If there is anything you need on this lake, this site can provide the information, and CrossCreek can find you the fish.   Good Fishing....."JD".
