Saturday was a busy day! The Kuhn and Stracco campaign for Frelinghuysen Township Committee kicked the day off with an early morning strategy session, followed by the full deployment of yard signs throughout the community. Remember, the election is 15 days away, be sure and vote for your sportsman’s issues. More info on our campaign for Frelinghuysen Township Committee can be found at www.electkuhn.com.
Fall Trout Season
MKFF set out to hook into a few Trout the State of New Jersey dropped into our local streams in the beginning of October. Unfortunately, the result was a painful skunking. The day was salvaged with the Nick’s 206 Lobster and Steamer Special.
Fall Bass Fishing In New Jersey Lakes
Mark purchased a new fish finder that was on sale at Amazon.com. The Humminbird 140C Fishin’ Buddy 3.5-Inch Waterproof Fishfinder now replaces Dave’s famous fish finder that we are pretty sure can’t find a fish if its’ circuit boards depended on it. After some minor adjustments to sensitivity settings, the thing was chirping away.
In the fall lake environment, Bass activity is temperature dependent. Many, if not most lakes have flipped at this point; effectively equalizing the ambient air temperature and water temperature. Initially we weren’t even detecting fish, we relied on the fish finder and found the warmer waters and drop offs.
Following significant success with worm rig outs, we switched off to Rapalas. I used a fluorescent yellow and green, jointed model. Mark used a silver, non-jointed; success rate was roughly similar though he hooked more Crappie and Sunfish.
As the daylight ends prematurely these days; the sun goes down and it gets cold, unfortunately we had to wrap it up after two and a half hours of fishing.
Back To The Campaign Trail
On the national scale, be sure to investigate the candidate’s stances on gun rights, fishing and hunting. Further, evaluate their stance on the Sportsmen’s Bill.
