Rivers,lakes,creeks,and ponds. The sunnies are active in just about all the water bodies. Sunfish and Rios are in their fall feeding mode and the bite is aggressive. Been getting good numbers and nice size Redbreast,Bluegill,Longear,Greens,Rios, and Large Mouth Bass. Been having goods days just about every time out. Fish are biting good between 7:30am and 1pm. The late afternoon to evening bite between 3pm till dark the bite is good as well. The sunnies are staying close to overhanging tree limbs,brush piles in 8 to 12 feet of water,docks,and bridge pillars. While fishing the creeks I have noticed the sunnies are staging by brush piles and over hanging tree limbs close to the banks. The Rios are hanging close to the bank by brush piles and gravel/sand beds in shallow water 4 to 8 feet. Been catching em on live worms and Gulp Alive Night Crawlers. Both float and bottom techniques are being used. Flip a worm by any spot that looks good and you can nail a nice one! Fall fishing for sunnies. It just don't get any better!

I sure wish my local creeks produced this quality and quantity of fish. I'm always jealous. Great post and pics.

Nice fish and report Chuck. Love this time of year! Getting good quality fish off of the home lake docks. Nice Bluegill in 10 to 12 feet of water! Did you get a chance and fished Dunlap recently? If so how was the bite?

Thanks Curtis for the reply. This fall bite has been AWESOME! As for fishing Dunlap I have fished it twice within the past week and did OK. Had one of my better days on Dunlap yesterday. Caught a bunch of nice Bluegill holding on the bottom by docks in 10 to 12 feet of water.

Thanks Chuck. The bite on Mcqueeney has picked up some. Gonna try the east end for some Crappie this weekend if we don't get washed out. Looks like we might get some heavy showers.

Good luck Curtis! I think the winter Crappie bite is going to be a good one.

Nice fish Chuck. After this latest front you may want to change the title of your post to Winter Time Variety! Do you think these strong fronts will have a major effect on the bite?

Thanks Gitter for the reply. These last two fronts have sent the fish to deeper water on the lakes. Creeks are still active. Still getting good numbers of fish. Getting yet another front in this morning. Hope we get some rain out of this one.

Pouring down RAIN right now Gitter! Also cold! Forecasters are saying 2 to 4" of rain over the next three days. We can use it. Also looks like we are going to get our first Arctic front late next week.
