Thread: Fall wisdom for Bream ?

Yesterday close to 100 fish, most caught in two locations in large schools along with occassional bass and pickerel. The thing is: will they be concentrated in shallow water once the lake starts filling Nov.1? The fall pattern on this lake requires much cooler water and a normal depth. (Air temperature has been 50 degrees at night to 76 degrees daytime for 4 days!) Gotta say though, it's been a ball catching fish after fish while anchored in one spot. (Note the bass jig trailer rigged on a 1/16 oz jig that caught everything - even sunnies!)

What blew me away was catching a yellow perch, bringing it to the boat to be unhooked and then a large pickerel chomped on as I was lifting the fish thereby losing the fish and my lure! That's never happened to me before.

Another question: will all the different lures I caught fish on yesterday and the days before it still be as successful once conditions normalize?
