Well it’s been too long since I got around to updating this column. Where did this year go? I will turn 60 in March and it seems like the older I get the easier it is to put things off. Since my last fishing report in July (sorry for such a long time between reports) on the two lakes, fishing has gotten pretty good. The big bass are starting to bunch up in a few places for me and my consistency is getting back to how it was before the waters rose in “the great flood of Falcon”. Fish are being caught shallow and deep on Sugar as well as Falcon. My main stays for Sugar are still Crankbaits and Football Jigs. I have come out with some new colors of jigs (Junebug, Copper, and Peanut Butter)and they sure seem to be working. Charlie Lindsay and Bill Reaves had a big day on Sugar last trip out with best 5 going over 40 lbs. Bill Reaves caught the big fish of the trip which went over 11 pounds. It was caught on the new “Junebug” colored football jig. Junebug is working on Falcon as well. On Sugar you can catch some fish up the river on worms in the flooded wood and the crankbait and football jig pattern is more on the main lake. Look for underwater points and humps in 10 to 35 foot of water. They really seem to want the baits slow. Top pictures are recent Sugar trips and bottom pic’s are from Falcon. The bite on Falcon is also in line with Sugar. Look for fish shallow on spinnerbaits early and then worming the brush in 4 to 14 foot. You can move out deeper fishing points and humps in 15 to 35 feet on Football jigs and worms. The first photo bellow shows Chan Setliff with a nice 10.24 lb. from Falcon caught on a 10″ bluefleck worm from Berkeley Powerbait company.
