CJ WATER TEMPS AND FISHING THREAD FOR FALL 2015 & 2016

I tried to order some of the Keitech leeches early in July but they didn't have any stock. I guess I'll have to go back online and check them out again.

How do they hold up?

Good so far...seems to be the same plastic like the craw...not as soft as the Swing Impact and Fats...since it is already segmented, it didn't have to be as soft to get the action.
A great slower finesse bait when they are lazy!

I wonder how well they will jig vertically.

There's a pretty good thing on the ol' Interweb...it's called a "search function"....instead of having to rely on someone else's opinion, you can type in "Keitech Custom leech" videos, and like magic, they start popping up for your viewing pleasure! lol

Very impressive tomatoes. Mine are going nuts too but don't look nearly as good as yours, they may be about 5' tall right now. They live a hard life at my house and may get a couple of gallons of water every 2 or 3 days. They yield on these 2 plants is way more than my brother and I can use.

Meijer carries a great Salsa mix...then all you have to do is get some chips and a cold beverage! You can even freeze the Salsa for later use.
I will grill tomatoes with a center core...fill with olive oil, garlic, and Italian Herbs, and then mash and skin, and you have a Fantastic pasta sauce

Thanks for the tips...I will have to try them out. My wife was talking about making salsa and I was wondering how everyone went about making it. I like it that it's okay to freeze too.
Sauce sounds good too.

IF YOU HAVE THE TIME....when they shut off, go get a burger or drink, and come back in an hour or so...The Predators eyesight takes up to an hour to adjust for night time hunting.
Cool Water Predator fish (Walleye, Crappie, Smallies, etc.,) burn too many calories when the water gets above 80 degrees... they will suspend during the day in oxygenated deeper water, AND HUNT AT NIGHT...they hunt at night because it is cooler, and they all have different style of night vision or hunting abilities that gives them the advantage over forage. It also allows them to consume more Calories without full out exertion.
At night go for glow baits (use a battery powdered "LED ice fishing case charger") or lures that are darker color than the water, for contrast...Beetle spins, roadrunners, and vibration baits are good. It won't take long to find a Pattern and then, IT'S ON!
All of those tiny little Shad (Sushi) will move shallow for safety at night....if you catch it right, the night bite in shallow water will be a memory of a lifetime!
