Fished the Fall Brawl this year, a tournament ran by Chris “Bearcat” Milliner of VA. Had a great turnout of 41 boats, which was pretty impressive considering this was the first year of the tourney….and ran very smoothly in my opinion! As always, I met alot of great folks, and we even managed to land a couple of decent blues which gave us a second place finish. Congrats to everyone else who caught fish that day, because conditions were tough! Sustained 15-20 mph winds most of the day, with gusts up to 30 mph…makes it hard to fish effectively. I would also like to say many thanks to the sponsors who helped to make this a great event. I won a nice tackle box, and my partner won a Yeti cooler. I still don’t think he has wiped the smile off of his face yet! Lookin’ forward to fishing this one again next year.

October Report
Thought I would check in with a quick fishing report since I haven’t updated the site in a while. The fishing has been getting better and better as the water temps are dropping into the 50’s. The drift bite has been producing good numbers of blue cats in the 5-15 pound range, with a couple citation fish in the mix as well. If you want to fill up your freezer with tasty catfish nuggets, NOW is the time to do it! The striper are also actively chasing baitfish this time of year, which can make for some action packed fishing. Most of our striper are being caught on suspended live baits. If you haven’t done much fishing this time of year, I highly recommend it. The boat traffic is minimal, the lake and leaves are beautiful, and the weather is perfect.
Come and see what it’s all about for yourself!
